Dear professor, doctor, assistant professor Veselina Drljević, president of the Council,
What can I tell you - life is a great adventure, if you discover something new every day... It sounds like a commonplace, but it is not. Gloomy and sad things happen to us, both locally and globally, it all affects us, so let's escape from this misery and turn to trivia. Why not!? Let's save our sanity.
Let's get to the point. Yesterday, I found myself on the famous sixth floor of a concrete building, better known as the RTCG building. Although the sum of the years I have spent in this house already places me in the category of "television Methuselahs", so it would be logical that nothing could surprise me, still ... In our "Grey Home", surprises never end!
For the uninformed, the "flower" of this House reigns on the famous 6th floor. It seems to him like some kind of Dedinje building, and there, according to the criterion of "floweriness", I reckon, you are there too.
For the sake of the readership (someone is obviously hacking our emails, so these letters immediately appear on certain portals), let me describe what we first see when we step into the lobby of the floor where our General's office penthouse is located. So, a red carpet downstairs, a dazzling light upstairs, a board in front that says RTCG, on the sides a bunch of plastic ivy and vines!
Everything is there, and yet, you immediately feel that something is missing that suits such an ambience, actually - more like the environment. Anyone who thinks in terms of associations, when they see that scene, asks themselves the question - where is Tarzan?
While waiting for Tarzan to appear or at least to speak out in his characteristic way, I came across the “results” of the modernization of the Public Service. I came across the so-called “digitalized toilet” with all the accompanying content! Which is not available on the lower floors! So, the toilet facilities covered by digitalization are intended exclusively for holders of the highest positions and all-round prosperity, who are IT-aware and God-pleasing. In short – the Council and management.
Now… I have a dilemma. You and I differ on some essential issues – I tend to believe that there is life before the position. And it seems to me that the point of view that life begins with the position and continues after we die is closer to you. Since that is the case, and it is – why then should you, by definition, be disgusted by such trivialities. What do you need access to a “digital toilet”, the existence of which the mortals from the floors below, including me, have no idea about?
Although one could argue your right to that step forward in making life in the building easier. How many sleepless nights, how many struggles and sacrifices, how many sacrifices you make every day in order to enlighten us, make us more objective and acceptable to the people! In that light, a digital wet node, with accompanying contents, is the least you are entitled to.
And we from the lower floors, as we are, would also spoil the marble. We would spray everything and make devils before you say digitization or Biscuit (plasma).
Well, now I'm digging those accompanying contents. What is there? What is hidden behind the door, which requires a code to open. To clarify - you can't enter a digital toilet, as the old Montenegrins would say, without a password!
Here's what else interests me.
*Do all users of the digital toilet have personal codes or is there a unique one?
*What are the codes and are they safe?
*What do you do if by any chance you forget the so-called "sanitary code"?
*Are your colleagues ready, in case of an emergency, to give you the password?
*Who is the keeper of the “digital toilet” software?
*When you were talking about “incomparably better working conditions at RTCG”, did you have this “sanitary” benefit in mind? Limited availability that does not affect the bigger picture.
*When will we get soap in the “analog toilet” on the lower floors?
And, finally, the question of all questions., based on what was seen yesterday: What is political analyst Predrag Kalezić, director of the Society for Research on Politics and Political Theory, doing in the RTCG building, with all the buckets, brushes and complete painting equipment?! She saw it with her own eyes and let it down!
May God grant you wisdom and patience, thank you.
