for the team at Here's the short letter of greetings that I wrote at the end of my internship, to thank the
Healthware, and especially the TEAM A, of 3 beautiful months in their company!
I share with you all!
December 2006
It was freezing that day but up the stairs I heard a few thrills. Excellent initial impression ... great space, lots of light, bright colors and minimalist decor, in full agreement with my style and with the requirements of ergonomics. I make the space between the decorations and packaging of paper that contain them ... I find a chair beside a table covered both (chair and table) from twigs ready to be stapled to the walls. I sit down, talk to Antonio, a quick look of the room (coffee maker ... ... even less maleeeeee refrigerator and microwave ... this environment I had envisioned the organization studying Japanese / American and theories of knowledge spiral of Nonaka ... but I did not think there was a really so young and dynamic Salerno) ... we ended up in a day a little 'turbulent Christmas in the air and was getting ready: Antoinette (I did not know his name but I remember that I noticed because he was dressed in matching green - and green is one of my favorite colors-) was busy with the tree and decorations, Flaviana was busy packing bags and brochures (the expression on his face was not smiling much ... I challenge you to pack all that stuff ... white sheets held by staples, pamphlets, addresses, and adhesive label).
A quick look at my "competitors" and then there is Gianluca, I recognize the voice I had heard on the phone the day before (I was in the warm up lap to figure out where was the seat and, after yet another dead end, I had decided to call and ask!) and after the first moments of disorientation (the ones you get in those moments when you must put a face to a voice) so here you go! We count but there is something wrong ... or someone has made false declarations on their gender ... or is there a woman more.
course (because good day starts in the morning ...) my CVnon had never come to Healthware. UFFFFFFFFFFF!
omit to report what I flashed on his head at that moment (the fear of being considered un'imbucata stramacchio to put me in a imbarazzooooooo) ...! Luckily I was in possession of all the sheets that could be used (a copy of CV, copy of Celiaqui, a copy of the plan for info-communication per la centrale del latte, etc.)!
Consegno la copia del curriculum e Gianluca inizia l’appello. Ci vediamo una alla volta, in ordine alfabetico, nella sala meeting 1.
Ok, perfetto… non mi scompongo più di tanto, sarò una delle prime, il mio cognome comincia per “D”!
Sono stata l’ULTIMA, contro ogni regola della probabilità, gli altri “concorrenti” avevano cognomi che andavano da A a DELO…(e che sfiga!).
Ne approfitto per osservare ancora un po’ il posto (Flaviana è sempre più alienata nell’impacchettamento!!!).
L’atmosfera incomincia a diventare familiare e mi inizio a rilassare fino a quando Antonella exits, after a half hour interview and, just at your ears, tells me: "I have to speak English!"
QUE?!?! Quoi?!?! WHAT ?!?!?! Other familiar
that ... there is panic! But I speak French and English! Antonella
begin to target: what they asked you? And how did you answer? How do you combine the verb to the past! Fascists have a vacuum .... Ripetimi well as the present and the future as we are! No, no, these figures should I do if I go ... I do not want to do 'I'm interviewed! Anton, translates as "complete and comprehensive? Complete and comprehensive
?!?!? Come to think of me now to laugh! At times not even remember how to say thank you in English ... and I go out with "complete and comprehensive!
From that time up to my entry in the legendary first meeting between the time flies and phonetic rules of English grammar ... so much effort but little hope!
that it comes my turn, "complete and comprehensive" (they were adjectives to describe how I had found the company's web site) had become merely "interesting." There was no time, my moment had arrived and, like a condemned man resigned to death, I set off, resigned to my figure Barbini, following the Bertone! I see Dr.
. Di Filippo (I had met shortly before in rest. area), we meet Michael, (my first thought was "but how many years will, we seem to peers and is already responsible for the recruitment of interns ... Lucky you!).
begin to talk about myself, about my Erasmus experience (Gianluca seems particularly interested in this subject!), The things I've learned and foreign languages \u200b\u200bthat I speak (at this point I say that English chewed, but then-or so to spare them prepare ungrammatical-), I speak of my love for photography, my studies, the project Celiaqui, and much more.
The first part of the interview is over and here we are, all together, to further "evidence".
The task given to us is to create something! So I decide to draft a work of cognitive ergonomics and usability of a site and hand over the block! We ended ...
KNOW WE WILL ! And while there
Flaviana card brainy automatic in the day ... I think I'm a full of smells and colors, greetings and close the door behind me.
University ... ... daily life ...
January 2007 A phone call ... the legendary Antonio Di Filippo "is pleased to report that the Healthware chose my profile to begin an internship."
be defined remain to be solved and only the dates solo scartoffie burocratiche tra azienda e università ma l’entusiasmo è tanto e il resto non conta!
Inizio un po’ dopo Antonella perché ho approfittato di quei 5 giorni in più per fare l’ennesimo esame… dal 19 Febbraio in poi potrò dedicarmi con maggiore spensieratezza a questa nuova esperienza!
19 Febbraio 2007 Team A… da subito ho avuto il sentore, adesso ne ho la certezza, che quel team è stato quanto di meglio potesse capitarmi!
Il team più numeroso (eppure i nomi li ho memorizzati con un’insolita facilità!), quello più stimolante, quello più divertente e competente (non me ne vogliano gli altri…), the most committed and point of reference agency. What a beautiful
my desk ... great for those who want to learn. Allows us to capture the expressions, the sounds, the faces of all (aside from Ivan, but simply because she disappears behind the monitor!). And then I look outside, rain, sun, clouds ... I feel at the center of the world, in the right place to enjoy the outside and inside, not to lose contact with either size.
The first week passes, including welcome meetings and presentations, until it arrives on the first Monday: 15:00 Progress ... eh ?!?!?!?! But, in Italian, which VOR (Roman is the in honor of Paul).
Anna Dina reassures me: Today you will not understand anything I say but that's normal (pfiuuuuuuuuu!), you'll see that with time, when you're in the projects, will all be clear!
And from that day when I did not understand anything, now how many things have changed!
May 2007 I confess (I can already see the faces of the darkening Nutile and Santoro!) Which, to date, the progress is the time of the week that I prefer, for various reasons:
a) Firstly, because now I can to understand what is spoken;
b) secondly because it only starts when we are all present;
c) and, above all, because when it comes to Act Against Allergy, Cardarelli, Cooperation, infarction, MedSolve, Pages Policlinico Gemelli Medical and know that part, we talk a little 'me. Me as a resource team (and not just as an intern of way), I am as a person informed of events and as part of that whole. And for those
progress, for coffee breaks, lunch time, for every moment that I felt part of this family, and all the moments I lived in your company that I say THANK
. Thanks to Alessandra
, the perfect example of femininity, for his infinite generosity, for welcoming me to the team and for having constantly reassured
With
Loredana, the mother of the team, for his attention and chats without remembering our Erasmus
With Joe
, demanding the Australian account, just for having communicated so much with words but with looks and smiles;
With
Angelo, the jester of the company, for its "good" for no reason, and his cough (because when I had my headache thinking about your phlegm and calms me) ;
With
Valter , the father of the team (Nutile, I will not persecute the story of the plumber and the engineer of TV ... but uahahahahah!), with its orange sweater and his voice reassuring (even when uploaded content did not appear on the site or when you are angry because he could not find the tables and images to add - but where you want to find if you do not ask where !?!?!?!?-) ;
With
Gianni, my trusted and invaluable technical support, for his valuable information about the ratings, the tags of Dreamweaver and its magic (see also pezzotti!) on the anomalies of the portal of the Twins;
With
Ivana , the gentle soul of the team, the disarming sweetness of his voice, his gestures, for having been close and have collected my anxieties. [Ah, I forgot, thanks for health and biz and the time sheet (!?!??!?!?)].
Grazie infine (dulcis in fundo… scusate la non imparzialità di questa scelta!) ad
Anna Dina , la mia guida, mecenate della mia opera, punto di riferimento del mio agire, custode e confidente delle mie crisi, perché è suo il merito di tutto ciò che ho realizzato ed imparato in questa esperienza.
Un grazie sincero ed affezionato, anche a
Michela (Michi, grazie ancora per le lentine, J) e a
Gianluca , per avermi scelta qualche mese fa, per esser stati sempre disponibili e presenti nel mio percorso; grazie a
Paola per il supporto morale e tecnico per AAA e Hp3; grazie a
Francesco (piacere, My name is Melanie!), for the activities of press releases related to the Gemelli physicians (and sometimes even for those who wanted to boycott the news on Family Day because he let me die with laughter!), thanks to Ross
, for the gossip and always accompanied me to make supplies of caffeine, thanks again to
Antoinette,
Flaviana , fixed groups, those seated at the usual places, the usual time, for the usual tea and coffee breaks, and thanks again to all those I just crossed and that I did not quite know, because I miss them too.
And what I miss most, after these three months will be together:
• The sound of heels di
Alessandra , i suoi progress e il rumore di tutte le sue buste;
· il “Ma ti ho salutato? C’eri stamattina? Scusa oggi sono stonata” di
Loredana ;
· il “
Joe speacking” e le sue interminabili conversazioni in inglese;
· il dialogare di
Angelo con il monitor e le sue preghiere ai numeri dei report;
· il difendersi di
Valter dai bacilli del Nutile ed i suoi suicidi con le sciabole immaginarie;
· il doppio tocco del bussare di
Gianni (delicato, il suo, a differenza di quello del Nutile!) quando entra in stanza e il suo volto concentrato mentre gioca con Valter;
·
Ivana, his fiddling with his pen on his nose (or chin) when you progress and its rush to solve everyone's problems (as well as his way of imitating the position to account!)
·
Anna Dina ! She, her mail, her way of explaining what to do, the grim expression on his face when exasperated, his voice and his jokes about child Nutile when it is peaceful. His way of typing on the keyboard, the millions of windows open on your desktop. The black and green pen, water bottle with the cap still attached to the half circle of plastic. His encouragement and phrases such as "Just two minutes we have a say couple of things ... "" This work we see how to organize it ... "" This press also published as the pages of medical care "," This work I pass it to you, "" The first prepares the newsletter that I send in the approval "" In my town there are files for the media "... and much more!
(The bullet is for Anna Dina always tells me that it is more elegant to use!)
At the end of this will pseudo I only hope that, having revived the these 3 months with my own eyes, there has sent the admiration I feel towards you, and can serve as a witness value of your personal and professional.
I, for my part, I am proud of having known and having worked at your side. You were fantastic adventure companions. See you soon! With great affection ...
Melanie
