"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

The Bitch is Back

Ok. It was necessary and it was constructive, almost educational, but sabbatical’s over.

English version at the bottom of the page.


 

Quasi un anno fa, ormai, mi prendevo una pausa per aggiustare i miei obiettivi di carriera. Ormai è un fatto: io do un colpo di timone ogni sei anni.

Mi prendevo una pausa come faccio io, quindi anziché lavorare a decine di progetti contemporaneamente mi sono ritrovata a maneggiarne solo una manciata ma, comunque, mi prendevo una pausa. Era necessario ed è stato costruttivo, quasi educativo per certi versi, ma il mio anno sabbatico è finito.

Trovate riattivati sia i profili di LinkedIn che di Twitter e, come i più arguti tra voi avranno già scoperto, anche il nuovo profilo di Instagram.

Inevitabilmente trovate anche qualche strascico delle vecchie attività, ma uno degli obiettivi di questo anno sarà reinventare il modo in cui viene proposta la divulgazione e la formazione, in ambito BIM ma soprattutto nel più allargato ambito della digitalizzazione dell’ambiente costruito. Che è una parola grossa, e suona sempre bene.

I progetti in procinto di essere lanciati sono tanti. Ve li presenterò con calma. Per il momento, sono tornata. E mancano cinque anni al prossimo cambio.


 

Almost a year ago, I was crawling into my shell to adust my career goals. It’s a fact, by now: I shift career every six years.

I was taking a break, as I do. Meaning that I was dealing with just a bunch of projects, instead of dealing wih a gazillion of them at the same time. Still, it was a break. It was good, as I was saying. But now Sabbatical’s over.

If you go looking for me on LinkedIn and Twitter, you’ll find my profiles back online, alive and kicking. I also have a new Instagram profile. Yay.

Inevitably, I’m coming back with a leftover of some of the old activities, but a goal for this year is to reinvent the way we tell stories and we teach tech in the built environment. I’m talking about BIM, but also about the broader subject of digitization. Which is a buzzword, and always cool.

I’ve got me some shiny new projects to launch. I’ll do it one by one, without any rush. For now, I’m just here to tell you that I’m back. Minus five years to the next career shift.

I’m still standing.
