Persona non grata
Monday morning when I arrived at work, the door wouldn’t open for me! My security badge had been disabled! This is the way rights of the victims of our reorganization are taken away step by step. Of course my badge had to be re-activated by the administration, because I (still) work in this building. But [...]

I came well prepared by reading Andrea’s page on this subject once again. When I read [...]
