C\u00e2teva din cele mai bune pagini \u015fi texte pe care le-am scris au ap\u0103rut pe mese de c\u00e2rcium\u0103. Deseori pe foi, dar de foarte multe ori direct pe laptop. Pentru c\u0103 dac\u0103 iei noti\u0163e pe o h\u00e2rtie, c\u00e2te o pul\u0103 impertinent\u0103 pus\u0103 pe ag\u0103\u0163at are o jen\u0103 mai mic\u0103 s\u0103 te deranjeze. C\u00e2nd tastezi concentrat pe un laptop, vibe-ul de mar\u015f la cote\u0163 e cumva mult mai pregnant.
\nPur \u015fi simplu, m\u0103 inspir\u0103 s\u0103 am fream\u0103t, forfot\u0103, clinchet de pahare, r\u00e2sete, murmur incoerent, hai noroc, s\u0103n\u0103tate, \u00een background. S\u0103 le simt \u00een jur, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fiu parte din ac\u0163iune. M\u0103 ajut\u0103 ca o parte din energia aceea s\u0103 se transfere \u00een ceea ce scriu.
\nAm descoperit chestia asta \u00een studen\u0163ie.
\n\u00cen studen\u0163ie, eram s\u0103rac\u0103. Nu am cuvinte s\u0103 povestesc cam c\u00e2t de s\u0103rac\u0103. Aveam nivelul “p\u00e2ine cu mu\u015ftar \u00een fiecare zi”. Bun, \u015fi c\u00e2nd e\u015fti \u00een halul \u0103la de s\u0103rac, ai dou\u0103 op\u0163iuni: s\u0103 te vaie\u0163i la popor c\u0103 e\u015fti s\u0103rac \u015fi s\u0103 te l\u0103f\u0103i \u00een foame, sau s\u0103 munce\u015fti.
\nPrintre muncile care s-au lipit instant de mine au fost \u015fi traducerile. Fusesem olimpic\u0103 la nivel na\u0163ional la limba englez\u0103 an de an \u00een liceu, nu puneam botul la vr\u0103jeala de tip “hai, f\u0103-o pentru glorie” pentru c\u0103 nu-mi permitea nivelul de foame-n g\u00e2t – \u015fi \u00eentre timp, am \u00eenv\u0103\u0163at c\u0103 oamenii care te pl\u0103tesc au un nivel mult mai mic de misecuvenism dec\u00e2t \u0103ia pentru care faci chestii free, cumva ideea de scos bani din buzunar \u00eei \u0163ine \u00een banca lor – drept care, veneau traducerile pe banc\u0103 rulant\u0103.
\n\u00cen Bucure\u015fti, \u00eenc\u0103 existau multe internet cafe-uri. Aveam unul \u00een Pia\u0163a Muncii, la urm\u0103toarea intersec\u0163ie dup\u0103 Pia\u0163a Alba Iulia, unde aveam c\u0103minul. \u00cemi luam “toat\u0103 noaptea” \u015fi m\u0103 puneam la lucru. “Toat\u0103 noaptea” \u00eensemna c\u0103 pl\u0103teai 20 de lei pentru intervalul orar 22 – 6. Muuult pentru nivelul meu de s\u0103r\u0103cie, dar se recupera din tradus. \u015ei aveau \u015fi cafea ok. \u00cel \u0163ineau ni\u015fte ar\u0103be\u0163i, iar dac\u0103 ar\u0103be\u0163ii se pricep la un lucru, \u0103la e cafeaua.
\nEi bine, \u00een afar\u0103 de mine, cafe-urile erau pline pe atunci de pu\u015ftani de 14 – 15 ani. Chiar m\u0103 \u00eentrebam \u00een sinea mea: unde-s p\u0103rin\u0163ii acestor copii \u015fi cum de \u00eei las\u0103 toat\u0103 noaptea f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u015ftie de ei. Pu\u015ftanii b\u0103gau diverse jocuri, se amenin\u0163au \u00een gura mare c\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi iau unul altuia coloniile \u015fi c\u0103-\u015fi omoar\u0103 reciproc toate armatele, \u015fi c\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi fut reciproc mamele. Eu aveam un computer rezervat, pe care instalaser\u0103 \u0103\u015ftia un Word piratat \u015fi diacritice rom\u00e2ne\u015fti. \u00cen scurt timp le-am explicat c\u0103 muncesc pentru c\u0103 am nevoie disperat\u0103 de bani, iar asta le c\u00e2\u015ftigase respectul.
\nMai erau doi-trei labagii dubio\u015fi de v\u00e2rsta a doua, care \u00ee\u015fi alegeau calculatoarele din col\u0163 s\u0103 se uite la pornache \u015fi din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd p\u0103r\u0103seau punctul de lucru pentru o vizit\u0103 brusc\u0103 \u015fi extrem de scurt\u0103 la baie. De aceea, nu m\u0103 duceam niciodat\u0103 la buda internet cafeului. La c\u00e2\u0163i urma\u015fi de loser z\u0103ceau oropsi\u0163i prin toate cotloanele, aveam senza\u0163ia c\u0103 po\u0163i r\u0103m\u00e2ne gravid\u0103 doar respir\u00e2nd aerul spa\u0163iului cu pricina.
\n\u00cen internet cafe, oric\u00e2t testosteron neogoit ar fi b\u00e2ntuit \u00een jur, omul concentrat la calculator era sf\u00e2nt. Nu te \u00eentreba nimeni de s\u0103n\u0103tate. Lucrai like a bo$$.
\nIar diminea\u0163a, \u00een timp ce bucure\u015ftenii normali \u00ee\u015fi scoteau c\u0103\u0163eii la prima pi\u015fare, ne t\u00e2ram c\u0103tre cas\u0103. \u00cemi amintesc cu invidie cum dormeam patru ore, p\u00e2n\u0103 la unsprezece, apoi m\u0103 trezeam \u015fi b\u0103gam \u015fcoal\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 seara. Unde mai e randamentul \u0103sta inuman? Poate a disp\u0103rut o dat\u0103 cu s\u0103r\u0103cia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
