no really..
i really don’t!!!
it has been a massively unproductive day at work – i have been procrastinating x 5 billion
and i just wanna go shopping!!!! ;p
the rest of the week has been chaotic and stressful!!!!! how annoying right!
it is thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPPY WEEKENDING FOLKS ;p
its strange – my place of work has to be one of the oddest places that exist in terms of employment.. (and I mean just out department)
sometimes I feel it is some kind of soap opera with a little less “romance”
however, all other fronts make up for the drama about 3-4 fold the drama missing on the romantic front…
today we had two people almost get into a fight – a physical one… and verbal abuse was thrown around…
there was a pair of scissors also tossed at one of the guys…
i don’t know exactly what the situation was – luckily i was out of the office…
but one of the guys has been fired while the other has been sent home for a week!
i just feel that the level of professionalism in the office is ridiculous…
the guy that got fired has made inappropriate perverted comments in the past – and those comments are kinda R rated!
i don’t know what to think – i just feel bad for the family of the guy that got fired – i hope he finds a job very soon..
sunday night i left london, and reached dubai early monday morning.. and straight into work..
i hadn’t been feeling too dandy – a bit fluey and a bit sore throaty… and just really drained!
monday morning – i stayed at work half the day – took a conference call from home.. and passed out from about 4pm till 8pm and then slept a short while after again!
the next morning (yesterday) it was still difficult waking up – still was feeling fluey and tired and blegh really..
at noon i left to have a root canal done at Dr. Nicholas & Asp Centre in Jumeirah 3! they have to be the best dentists that i have ever come across!!!!!!!!!!
at 2:30 i made it back to work – and lo and behold – 30 minutes later there’s an earthquake!!!!!!! our whole building swings from side to side (i thought i was just not feeling so well!!!!)
we were evacuated from the building and shortly after asked to leave the office…
i believe the earthquake was felt in a large part of the middle east and originated in iran… did you feel it?
such a waste of being back at work for 2 days!!!!! i’m just glad the dentist wasn’t working on my teeth when the building shook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today – i am feeling pretty crappy! i can’t open my mouth much – swollen face ;) and sniffles – throat ache – headache.. and just generally blegh..
and this, my friends, this is why i’m hot ;p
lol
happy wednesday :D
it has been a long time since i have posted..
it has been for a mixture of reasons… work has been so hectic and so has life..
so i have not had a chance to sit down properly and write..
also, i find that i don’t know what blog audiences want to hear about anymore… so its a guess job – and often turns into me writing down my thoughts and music preferences – and i am not sure if anyone is interested…
however, this blog is sort of a release from work, everyday life
i kind of like that not many of my friends are aware this is mine and Moody’s blog – its the perfect place to kind of be anonymous.. pour my thoughts and frustrations out.. and carry on with the day like nothing ever happened…
i missed u blog and blog friends <3
I have always known that using the snooze button is not gonna do me any good, but I kinda managed to put on a system that so far is fine with me! What I do is that I put an alarm an hour before I wanna sleep, another one half an hour before, and somehow it prepares me to be more awake and expecting the alarm the next time to get up. I don’t feel absolutely fresh, but to me its better than waking up all of sudden and knowing that I have to get out of bed right away!
Whats your way?
my little niece, about 2 years and 6 months old now, has reached the “why” stage of her life!
so for everything – there is a chain of why questions!
why? i have no idea..
but i feel – that it is best to answer every question (giving simple, easy to understand answers) and just keep answering every question so that they don’t feel that their curiosity is wrong in some way – or bothersome to people in some way…
so the other day – i got home from work… she followed me into my room and started looking around and touching things (as usual) ;p – then she said:
her: why you got so many books
me: because i like to read them
her: why?
me: to make me more knowledgeable
her: why?
me: so i can understand more about life..
her: where u got them?
me: from a bookstore
her: cheeky, i not got any books (in reality she has a gazillion) u take me to get some books?
me: yes, i will take you this weekend, how many books shall we get?
her: 5 (that’s her favourite number at the moment) cheeky, where did you go today?
me: to work
her: why?
me: because my boss wanted me to
her: why?
me: so i can deal with the clients
her: why?
me: so we can make money for the company
her: why?
me: so i can make money to get you some books ;p
her: let’s send grandma to work – and you come to nursery with me!!!! :D
it was such a loopy conversation – and its profound… mashallah she’s soo curious and wants to know everything and be involved! and so so innocent!!!!!!!!!!
i wish somehow we could retain a child’s innocence as we grow older!!!!!!!
it has been a pleasant two weeks or so away!
and now i am back at work!
it has been bittersweet – to have to be thrown into different projects and meetings suddenly – but constantly being told that you were missed! by your clients and other parties that you work with!
i don’t think i could have handled not working much longer – but in saying that!
i wish our days were shorter and more relaxed!
more personal time if it were!
how do you guys feel going back to work after a break???
It’s weird how people complain whenever they have something that’s bothering them, and once its over, they stop appreciating how good it feels not having that thing that gives them a headache. Sadly, I can be one of those people sometimes, but it hits me every now and then and I start appreciating more. But you know, it bugs me how I don’t talk about it enough or acknowledge it anymore. This is way am writing this post, to show my appreciation in something that used to bug the hell out of me, which is all you know by now…WORK!
This whole blog started because me and Cheeky were bitching the whole time about work, and it was definitely a great get away for both of us, it made us laugh and be more connected, It was Cheeky’s idea and ill always love her for that..and many other things :P
When i look back and remember how awful I used to feel about my job, how much I used to hate my boss, how bad no one gave a shit, and how much I felt unappreciated! I used to talk to my best friends about it and complain and complain. I used to do everything I could possibly do to improve the situation, but every time I get pushed away and back to point zero. Life felt so unfair at that time, and it hurt my feelings a lot, it made me feel angry towards some people, feelings that I have never felt before, except for those people.
But right now, I don’t complain about work at all, because simply I don’t have anything to complain about! Al7amdilla my boss is awesome, work is not too crazy but definitely way more enjoyable. I feel comfortable around people and happy in my office. and best of all, I feel appreciated, and that what matters.
I can’t deny the fact that I miss my buddies at my old job, they were the best people to talk to even when you are all bitching about work, cuz we all knew how bad it was. I also miss the gossiping and the rumors that people used to pass around. I didn’t get to make good friends at my new job yet, but ill always remember my old buddies :D
That’s it, I just felt like letting this out, in a way or another to show how much I appreciate the opportunity that I got and everything that I have now. If you are going through what I went through, ill tell you this “good things happen to those who wait”, my best friend used to tell me this and I kept laughing about it until it did happen. Just don’t give up!
do you guys have the problem when you are trying to do some work and some annoying person keeps coming up to you and showing you stuff?
or they keep stating stuff out loud that no one is interested in?
or they stand behind you and laugh hysterically when nothing funny has been said!
today all three of the above have been happening more than usual..
a heavy workload does not make for tolerant minds! come on! that’s inspired ;p sounds like something Aristotle would say! ;p i make this crap sound gooooooddd!
phew feeling sooo much better – was about to get up and strangle this girl that feels the need to share every detail of her life (not so very exciting to me) with EVERYONE!
she complains loudly – jokes loudly – laughs loudly! and everyone is just trying to get on with their work! it is literally pin-drop silence at the moment!!
*sigh*
thanks for the vent session ;p
