Hi Joseph,

Mela skuzani qed ntellfek. Pero mill-ahhar darba li kellimtek bazikament iriduni nkecci 2 gurnalisti, wahda full time u l-ohra part-time. Jien ghadni ninsti li ma rridx li jitkeccew. Iva vera ghamlu zball ghax wahda nsiet tidhol ghax-xoghol fil-hamsa ta’ filghodu u ma hargux l-ahbarijiet. U l-full-timer min-naha taghha nesiet iccemplilha ghall-handover…u ma kitbitx l-artiklu li ghidtilha tikteb.

Tajthom warning ovvjament ghax inqalha panic kbir l-istazzjon u anke rapport lil kurja kelli maghmel. Fair enough. Pero qed ninqabez bhala manager tal-kamra tal-ahbarijiet.

Jien mhux se naccetta li jitkeccew. Jekk tittiehed decizjoni minn wara dahri li dawn jitkeccew, ovvjament jien se nirrizenja mill-post ghax nigi li qeda hemm ghalxejn.

Ma naqbilx ma din l-ingustizzja. Id-decizjoni ghandha tittiehed f’dawn il-jumejn li gejjin. Tghidli qalbi nirregistra se nispicca:)

Sabrina

Joseph Muscat 7:25PM

Zommni infurmat u tghaggilx

Tajjeb li jkollok qalb socjali izda int m’intix union

Sabrina Agius 7:28PM

Se naghmel li nista. Iva nkellmek wara. Tkellimt mas-CEO sa lbierah. Il-pozizzjoni tal-kumpannija cara. Pero hsibt f’argumenti tajbin u se nipprezentahom.

Joseph Muscat 7:33PM

Nappellalek tghaggilx

Sabrina Agius 7:34PM

Le minix. Jien ghadha se mmur u nisma x’ghandu xi jghidli is-CEO. Nimxi minn hemm. L-ewwel nisma.

THE FOLLOWING DAY:

Sabrina Agius 9:23AM

Bongu Joseph,

Kellimni is-CEO. Tani x’nifhem li anke hu daqt izarma minn hawn.

Mhux se jitkeccew il-haddiema. Pero se jinghataz warning u l-fulltimer mhux se tinghata zieda fil-paga.

Kellimtu wkoll dwar kif gejt trattata jien mill-manager ohra, ie lib diet tghajjat mieghi, tatini ordnijiet u ssabbat fuq il-mejda….when she’s not my manager. Din-l-istess wahda li ghidtlek li trid tqaccat in-nies.

To be continued….ghax ahjar nohodhom bic-cajt.

Joseph Muscat 11:13AM

Qisa soap opera

Sabrina Agius 11:16AM

Hallini ara joseph….ghax minn wara li nibghatlek jerggh jinbidlu l-affarijiet…

Letteralment qed ifittxu x-xaghra fl-ghagina, inklux mieghi ovvjament. Onestament ghajjejt mentalment because I don’t know what to expect from minute to minute.

Ghandi interview l-NCPE ma nafx ghidtlekx.

Joseph Muscat 11:19AM

Jien nappellalek tissaporti

Sabrina Agius 11:24AM

Bla dubju. Qed tatini training aghar mill-Kung Fu:)

    I didn’t get the punchline. Google didn’t manage to translate “tatini”.

    From Google:
    “Without a doubt. Tatini training is worse than Kung Fu:)”

    [Daphne – ‘Gives me’, which should be spelt ‘taghtini’.]

  3. Dee says:

    The impression is that there is more then meets the eye in this conversation, what with all those smileys.

  4. Antoine Vella says:

    If a panda can learn Kung Fu, Joseph Muscat can teach it.
