Database Design Cost Estimates

The terror is by mail (Pt.2)



Summary of the previous episode, "the Italian Post Office is evil" and this is the beginning of everything, specifically we left a girl at the counter of the polemical, the poor would enable the service "follow me", I did not yet understand what it is and in a time when people are talking about stalking I do not think the better name! The controversy had told her that this service does not exist and to be honest a response like this is unsettling because it makes you think crazy. But the girl, more shrewd than he had printed from the Internet all the details about the service and had shown them to him angrily with triumphant face ... oh no, this had not happened yet! ok, now I told you!
At this point in the post was created as frost, Mencia was scared, the people in line was quiet and attentive and made bets on the reaction of the controversy, the focus was all on him.
not to lower expectations and prove a good postal employee, the controversy began to shout, "Miss, but he realizes? Follow me, call me, Catch me, but I know there are many services at the postal? More than 3000. . and I know you think I have them all? "
MISS: "It would be required to do so, at least this new service is expected to know"
controversy: "But if nobody tells me what is this follow me, I'll have to invent? This office does not follow me. Enough."
SIGNORINA: "Ma se prima ha detto che non esisteva?"
POLEMICO: "eh, e ora le ho detto che non lo facciamo"
Dato il pugno duro del polemico la signorina decide di adottare un tono collaborativo
SIGNORINA: "Magari possiamo provare a fare la procedura on line insieme"
POLEMICO: "Signorina... io vengo nel suo ufficio a insegnarle il suo lavoro?"
SIGNORINA: "No, perchè si spera che io lo sappia fare da sola visto che sono pagata per questo"
Tono collaborativo fallito.. altra lunga rissa verbale...
15 minuti dopo...

POLEMICO: "Va bene, facciamo la procedura on line ma se poi è sbagliata non è colpa mia, perchè questo ufficio non fa "seguimi" (Now knew what it was and knew that his office was opposed to such service). So let's see ... follow me service? "
MISS:" Yes, with the option dimmiquando. "
controversy:" Tell me what? "
MISS:" The option ... Oh well follow me while we activate "
controversy:" Hmmm ... want to activate it for 3.6 or 12 months? "
MISS:" For two weeks, "
controversy:" So we do not understand .. here says at least 3 months ... "
MISS:" Look, I printed from the Internet that this document clearly says that you can do for two weeks ... "
controversy:" But this is not follow me, this is restante "
MISS: "And then I want to the general delivery ... "
controversy:" but this office does restante ... "
MISS:" But what makes this office? "
controversy:" What would you like to say ... Miss, you're offending me "( sensitive soul that of controversial)
MISS: "There's a call from the competent authority .. that makes you close all ... "
controversy:" I have need to call the authorities because she lacks respect "
WOMEN IN TAIL:" You broke all the balls and two ... Get a life "
Meanwhile, Mencia went with the most basic payments, pretending not to notice what was happening around him and as I was only a bill went to her. So, reluctantly, I had to go ... What happened? follow me service has been activated? The polemical and Mencia still have their jobs? I leave you with this open-ended because I'm not aware of the facts but there are lessons to be learned seplici 4:
1. Employees of the Italian post office are chosen by Mickey Mouse with a selection similar to that of the postmen of Maria De Filippi
2. The Italian postal service names are frankly obscene ... follow me, find me, wait, dimmiquando ... but what is it??
3. People want to fight, if placed in a better
4. The postal employees and committed the stand between humans more assholes on the planet. There

leave you with a photographic document that shows how even the letter boxes are Scazzi ...

ago as a mailbox to be out of service?!?! is a cavity, which can possibly insurmountable problem?!?!

International Colour Numbering System

to terror by mail (Pt.1)


Italian Post Office are evil. How Trenitalia. There are a number of services on which all agree are always ... everyone hates the Italian post office because they were all victims for losses, long waiting times, damaged packages ... but usually true hatred we feel when we enter the realm of Italian post office, the live experience is what destroys you. The Italian post office
could be put in place one of the infernal circles of the Divine Comedy, among other things by related issues there are ... the Divine Comedy is a journey through the three kingdoms unearthly Dante leading up to the vision of the Trinity, and to enter into Post a mean waiting time and nerves which could lead to really see the Trinity. Not to mention the most important similarity: the vernacular.
this morning, since I'm a masochist, I ended up in a place where technology is outlawed, and then follows a single queue at a snake mo 'for Ben to get the only two doors open.
At the counter there was a "a polemic", a typical employee of the Italian post office ... is angry with the world, hates his job and all the people who interact with him, always hopes there are errors in your bank account to burn before my eyes and scream "next" and anyone who asks him to fill out forms to have the same physical Bruce Willis in Sixth Sense.
two appearances at the counter the "Mencia", another typical employee of the Italian post office, she is usually a woman of about fifty who seems to be there and not do anything that you ask ... is strangely smiling with the customer dangerous, but still allows you to make the bitch with the customer more polite, does not know what a postepay and payment of a bill already a bit 'the alarm.
But people in the queue is part critical of the show .. Initially, they all seem
seraphic, old smile at each other and take place in a row ("then I'm in front of the lady with the shirt Blè) , then time passes and then a spirit of solidarity began to take turns ("lady I'm going to sit there a moment, remember that I am behind the girl with the shirt Blè) , then slowly begins to puff someone (pfuuuuuuu) , someone starts looking at the clock Many begin to sweat (because there is no air conditioning in the Beirut headquarters, and if there is a take off to break my balls) ... At that point one of the tail meets the gaze of another at his shoulders and starts shaking her head, finding understanding in a very similar movement of the face, then someone says softly "but you can not" all nod and silent, until the rash that comes, shouting, says, "but not you can open another door? " .
From there the story is known ... starting fights, the "look at us to work" and "ah? Seems to me that you do not do shit," as the "call the police" or "no ... ".... I'm calling the In short, the discourse is always the same, everyone has a little 'desire to get angry.
In recent years, however, this mechanism is discouraged .. it also has the technology and the mail can to take the number of hours at avoiding queue up with the risk that the wily old you rub the place ...
shame that when we enter the post office, after spending half an hour arguing with the doors and in some cases have torn the pacemaker with your hands so as not to feel no longer say "warning, leaving the metal objects and back "There is in front of this yellow box that allows millions of possibilities, you can hit an infinite number of keys depending on whether you should make payments, which is a customer Postamat, you have to pay c / c, do transactions post, send parcels or that you are the owner of strange debit cards ... then the queue is created first, when you must take the number and no one understands what his letter of affiliation if A, H, P, E, M. .. many in fact take all possible numbers and mo 'lottery of waiting time of extraction. But why not simplify? There are old women who only want the button to "pay a fucking bill", and I with them.
Without digressing, this morning comes the turn of a girl ... This goes from Mencia and asks "I want to activate the service Follow Me" ... Mencia to this request is about to pass out but manages to control himself, told her that she does not do these things and sends the other operator, "the controversial," he says candidly that "Follow me? this service does not exist" . ..
this is just the beginning of a discussion lasting hours and ended with the arrival of the police ...

Invitation To First Death Anniversary, Sample

You know, people are strange ...

It 'full of people that speaks for itself. Boys, men, women, elderly and children ... even in summer is said to be guilty of giving the head warm in winter is the cold that affects the brain and in the fall and spring ... well, it's the fault of the change of season , which brings a bit 'all the world's ills.

I still think that the Pandora's box there was just the change of season, to be confirmed by Voyager.

The other day a middle-aged man rather elegant and distinguished pulling punches against the doors of the bus cursing Letizia Moratti and wishing the worst things. Today a child who has had yes and no 12 years complained about how he was tired and because the hot climate of the city he had exhausted. Every day I see "the old women of 54," a very private club of psychopaths who are waiting for the bus, they always seem to be taken by a lively debate, but to understand clearly devoted to each individual monologues and shows his own theory on why the delay the coach and I have to say I'm quite creative, not even the writers of Lost would come to such conjectures.

In short, all speak for themselves, but very few interact.

now seems the norm to see someone that speaks for itself: the recognize right away and pointed at him as crazy or dangerous person, obviously after you've looked in his earlobe that there is no presence of bluetooth which would explain the anomaly and provide a guarantee of sanity.

If someone speaks to us in the street become extremely stiff and cautious ... "How dare you?" ... We tend usually not to even talk to the stranger, so you know they are hassle ... "I do not want roses," " I like the filthy windscreen, "" I do not love your polaroid "," handkerchiefs me take them home, "" I have no sense of I. .. see a little 'if you know where your path unknown "," please do not even mention scientology "," if I had a € I buy a scratch card "and" fuck the club of publishers ... a scam that has no equal on earth (if only for issues repulsive offering). " What else may want a stranger on the street? Here

all run frantic and consequently are angry, blacks are all pissed off ... I think that in Milan there is a much higher percentage than in other places or unbalanced people ready to fight. Let us examine the most recent cases, the building of psychos in which I live will be an excellent microcosm and travel in the elevator are just excellent laboratory experiments. I am always the rat guinea pig.

ME: "Good evening ma'am,"

WOMEN READY TO BRAWL "Well ok, it is afternoon,"

IO: "hehe ... so hi, so I'm not mistaken"

WOMEN READY TO BRAWL: "ok, and the prejudice is to be rude ... stuff that goes "... no

dear lady, that's what I'm thinking about her as rude, at best. I often pass the desire to interact, because there is a widespread desire to debate and argue with whatever is being said.

Bus, early in the morning. Do not wish it on anyone. A lady is talking on the phone, in front to another woman she can not tolerate it and begins to shout "but we do not care about us? Mrs. .. but realize that we are forced to hear about his business? go to the market to talk about stuff that goes ... ".

On a tram, however, a boy with impunity ... Ask a driver, a passenger gets up and starts screaming in horror, "but wants to kill us all? He does not see that it says not to talk to the driver? But we do know that if an accident the blame on her? Stuff that goes ... ". The boy, who had been charged to any disaster and also the prophecy of the Maya in 2012, has stopped talking ... and I understand it, because at some point all this exhausting and arrogance you have your balls full and so stop talking to strangers to prevent rip-off, stop talking to drivers to prevent disputes, stop talking on the phone to prevent complaints ... and then hit pissed off and starts talking to himself and to say every three seconds "stuff that goes" every time you see something you're good.

It 'full of people that speaks for itself.
