Open Letter

Como sigo sin ganas de postear, aqui os dejo en lo que gaste mi tiempo ayer por la noche, bilis y mala hostia:

Hi to all the crew at the Mango Room, it was great to know you all, even if i’m unable to work with you, I think that everyone, from Guadalupe (the one I have known more cause I was behind her all the night) to Stephan (whom I’ll just know for a very little time) were friendly and nice and I’m sad for couldn´t know you better.

But this letter is not only to tell you that you are Cool. I also want to give some thanks to Marco: thanks for my wasted time, thanks for showing me how the people treats other people here in London, thanks for my lost money in transport and in a new shirt...maybe you could think that this is for not getting the job, well, then you are wrong, because not get a job in which i´m new could be possible even probable, but harsh. It could make me sad or down, but not angry with no other than myself. Either it´s not for not paying me the 5 hours of “train” work, everyone here tell me that I should complain you to the police, but I think that it will be lost time, cause it will go to nowhere, and even if it could serve for something and police takes the complaining seriously it could mean problems for the rest of the restaurant and the crew...and of course I don´t want this. And what makes me enough angry to write this? Your actions, your lack of personality and humanity....first: telling people “we´ll call you tomorrow to see if we want yo to stay or not” with that voice and this face and when you know exactly what you are going to do it’s not a sign of kindness, it´s just plain hypocresy...maybe this is what makes you the perfect manager, an equilibrium between hypocresy and (false?) niceness. And second (specially for this): How could you be so umpleasant to not call me early as I have begged you? I’m not stupid and I have guessed that you don´t want me in the “Mango” (ask Guadalupe if you don´t believe me), that’s why I specially asked you to call me early, to have it assured...but of course you didn´t do that. You prefer me to notice it by that non existing call, and that’s nothing except cowardice....and if it’s because you have forgotten to call me it’s even worse, that shows that people is nothing for you but pieces of meat. So you had make me call you to hear something that I knew and I didn´t want to hear...great job, Marco! You know how to make people feel better and confident, don´t you?

I just desire one thing to you, to find yourself in a position of need and unprotection as I am right now, and soon, just to remember how you treated me...that will be some kind of poetic justice.

And I repeat that it´s just for your behaviour to me and not for the loss of the work. I suppose that any of these words will mean nothing for you, well, at least I have take it off from me.

Just some word more to the guys:

Terry, you seems like a pretty friendly and nice guy, I wish the best for you.

Denisse (sorry if I have wronged the name, till I was in London I have met more people than in a whole year in spain) the 20 minutes I had been talking with you were great and quite interesting, your are a beatiful and smart girl, I hope you will be better in London than in Dusseldorf, best whises too...and a kiss of goodbye!

Joe, maybe I was too impulsive and talker trying to be open and friendly or trying not to be nervous, sorry for this and It should be a honour to learn from you how to make cocktail, the ones I had seen that night had a wonderful look!

And Guadalupe...well to you I will not continue the stupidity of talking in english with a spanish as me: Te deseo lo mejor, perdona por la nochecita que te di, siempre detras tuyo y siendo un incordio. Que mejores en tu posicion alli o que mandes a la mierda a Marco y te busques alguna cosa que te resulte mas interesante, es una pena no haberte conocido mas al igual que con los otros. Pero de todas maneras gracias por los animos y las palabras de apoyo, un beso y hasta siempre.


Well, that’s all friends.

Have a good time at the Mango’s, and best wishes for your posh restaurant too!


Samuel.
