List of expectations
He meets two friends who form the couple, starts talking to them, and one of them, mixed, says a hope list instead of a waiting list. Your partner realizes, but it conceals good. The author of the story is learning Basque and is awaiting the results of the recent study. I have later learned that he has not passed the test and that he is rather desperate.
We say goodbye and I remember the lapsus: “A good set of words to talk about Osakidetza’s waiting lists; waiting for the appointment, to be called once,” I thought of myself. And then it strikes me that, as it couldn't be otherwise, Twitter can be a success, and maybe it can be viralized, to my modest extent. Or, what the hell, why not write the ARGIA column itself on this topic.
But I'd stay with humor on Twitter, and that Osakidetza's accounts are not to go laminar and crack, to fall with a scarce joke. The moment I write, I have a slightly reddened eye. In the phone call, the nurse has made a kind of diagnosis without seeing me straight ahead. But I've gone to the pharmacy for the recommended eye drops, and the pharmacist has made a completely different diagnosis, looking at my eye closely. In my next phone call with the nurse, it seemed to me that I had to put some pressure to get a face-to-face consultation with the doctor. Who benefits from social networking?
It says a list of mixed expectations instead of a waiting list. The author of the talk is learning Basque and is awaiting the results of the recent study
I've made progress with Plan B, of course, and now that I'm quite ahead with the column, I've realized that maybe my friend didn't tell the hope list, but the hope room, instead of the waiting room, of course. And if that were the case, which I'm not sure, I would find it even better to play words, it could have other substantial senses. But where does this lead me?
In the end, I thought that language can be very productive for the development of thought, but then I saw the other side of the coin: what can be surface, if not for much more. And moving on to myself, I have not come to the conclusion that the limits of my world are the limits of my language, as Wittgenstein said, but that my thinking – or, in my case, the chaos of loose ideas – is partly conditioned by the occurrences derived from an eccentric game of words. Sometimes almost to the limit.

Vicent Andrés Estellés poetaren hitzak harturik, bat naiz hainbat eta hainbat kasuren artean, eta ez kasu bakan, arraro edo ezohiko bat. Zoritxarrez, ez. Hainbaten artean, bat. Zehazki, Europako Kontseiluaren arabera, eta ibilbide handiko beste erakunde batzuen... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]

Sometimes you make a blessing, and say where you had to say it, for sure, and when you're done, you want to cry loudly. When everything was over, with the affection of the luggage, he gave you a long hug as if he were holding you.
You might once lie down with a colleague you... [+]
Five decades later, we seem to be leaving behind the Washington Consensus. The climate crisis and, above all, the rise of China have reinvented the interest in leadership and the active participation that the country should have in the economy. The former austerity managers,... [+]
Following the complaint against Iñigo Errejón for machista violence, it seems that some have realised that in parties, unions and leftist institutions, women are not free to receive violence from affiliated men. In addition, it has become clear that in these situations some... [+]
