Its getting rediculous again! Its annoying when things become like this! In a perfect world things would work in a timely manner, and you would be able to depend on different people, but at this point it isnt the case! Time lines need to be met, I have to meet with different people, and things just have to go crazy!
Ripping their heads off is an understatement! Dont promise me something and not come through! Just dont promise in the first place! Have some damn work ethic! Be honest to the work that needs to be done, and dont underestimate it! And it seems to be the case in Kuwait to ask for the impossible at the last minute without thinking that it could delay what they want to do.
This is going to be one hell of rollercoaster! Its been like Ramadan, I dont eat until the sun sets! If the weather is good this weekend Im going riding! I dont care I need to ride! thats it! Bes!
Didnt sleep much last night, I got about 2.5 hours of sleep. I have been at hour and it feels like I want to kill somebody to keep myself awake. I have had three cups of tea which have been very soothing. And I really dont like coffee, my phone keeps going off and I really wish I had a hammer at this point! I would have probably broken a lot of things!
And what happened to people this morning! I was driving to work on the same route I take during Ramadam and it was traffic as usual, but EVERYONE was flying and I mean EVERYONE! I was being cut-off by women left and right, I wasnt the only guy surprised, I thought I was driving fast until these women kept on flying buy. I dont know what was up today!
Feeling like a zombie, but Im really going to try to hit the gym! I want to get things moving. I think I will go and kill off the rest of the energy left in me!
Ok this is just funny! I usually dont mix up names, and I try to remember everyone’s name. But we have two secretaries who sit next to each other in the admin building. They take care of a lot of paper work. And they deal with things that I used to get in contact with them for. At first somebody told me one of them was name Kawthar, and the other Manal. It turned out it was the other way around, but I didnt find out until 2 weeks later. I was so confident about it, and after that I was laughing at myself!
Now sometimes I mix up their names and cant help it. Manal keeps giving me looks, but i just cant help laughing about it. The other problem is that both of them wear exactly the same thing. A black dress from head to toe with a black hijab, and both of them do that. So you see them wearing the samething day in and day out, never any color what so ever. So since I used to mix up their names based on somebody incorrect knowledge, and since they wear the same thing I cant help mix it up!
I know everybody else’s name down to the T! Even I know the gate keeper well! This is just funny sometimes!
I know I got a lot of work tommorow, especially since tommorow is one of the few days left to work. I need to make sure everything goes smoothly, but the one thing Im looking forward to is that I dont have any formal meetings. So I can do one thing for sure! Which is go riding to work. I alreayd put my laptop in my back pack and its already charged so I dont need the power plug with me. Its going to be an interesting day for sure, but at least riding to and from work is going to be pretty nice, and Im taking the long way there both ways. Because of this Im looking forward to waking up early just to get on my bike!
Im getting sent away by work tonight! For the first time Im going to Frankfurt Germany and stopping. The first time I flew through it was on my way to the states and thats it, but now Im landing in Frankfurt and staying there for work. I land at 6:20am and I have meeting at 8:30am and I have meetings all day, and then the next day I fly back to Kuwait. I dont like traveling during Ramadan because of all the commitments. Its going to be interesting to say the least. And flying with Lufthansa but its a night flight so Im probably going to pass out since I could sleep anywhere, but on the way back Im going to take full advantage of the Internet. I will posting up pictures of the hotel and all the places I will be going to. Im wondering if they have US movies in Germany because I would go in a heart beat.
The one thing that annoys me about flying is when they tell you to put your seats in an upright position. Whats the difference, your going to land so why do I have to put the seat back. The only airline I know that doesnt make you put your seat back is Virgin Airlines. I always try to sneak a little back when the air attendents walk away, and I push the seat back a little.
After I had sometime today to breath. I just made a excel sheet of how time I was working and how much I slept. The only day I managed to catch up on sleep was thursday night. Other then that I dont know how I was awake the rest of the week.
When I was driving to work thursday morning I couldnt believe how pleasent it was. The road was empty and I was enjoying my ride. Then I tought it seems nobody is going to work on thursdays. This is the second thursday where the road was extremely empty and the drive enjoyable. Then it came to my realization that nobody seems to be going to work on thursdays, every thursday the road is empty durin Ramadan. I dont mind at this point, but only one thursday left.
Today has been a very long day! As I mentioned before I knew I had to get up in the morning. I was at work around 8 am this morning thinking that I would come in early to fiinish up read a lot of paper work, and making sure things would get done and get an early start. Well thats what I was hoping for, but thats nothing close to what happened. Sometimes the best of plans just go out the window!
After a meeting that didnt go so great at 10am got done at 11am I had a billion things to do. And I think I was literally in the middle of a shitstorm! Its hard to get things done when no information is being conveyed to you! So I was going nuts, and I had a short fuse today, but I made sure to thank everyone who was doing what they were doing and more, because a lot of people werent coming through on their parts. I was going nuts. I was loosing it! It has been a long week, and I couldnt stop thinking of all the milestones, time lines, projects, emails, peoples, prices, things to do, when and where, sooooo much stuff not enough time to think! At least I would always smile to people who werent causing me any havoc, I had a co-worker who is a friend just look and say “I know” and he smiled! Then I just busted out laughing! Things were getting so crazy that I was just laughing! I was tired of being tired a couple of days ago.. now it was just operating on a different level!
I managed to leave work around 4:00pm, but the best part of it is that I have to go to work on Friday at 1pm to finish up a lot of paper work and fine tuning details required for saturday. i really have no problem with the extra work or even the late nights. I get pissed when information isnt conveyed to me, or something is missing because somebody failed to email. Emails should be utizilized more! When I left work I was just happy that I could get some rest, but then I was thinking of my MVP.
MVP stands for one thing to me Most Valuable Person, and thats my nephew. He has been sick the past couple of days, and I havent had a chance to pass by. So I went from work to his home to check on him. On the way I got a message telling me to take him back to our house. And thats what I did, I took him home with me. When he was with me in the car I was the happiest guy in the world. He always looked at me if I wasnt looking at him. So I was driving extremely protective, I would move away from hazords and idiots! But e kept making me laugh!
I like carrying him around like Im the big giant, and he would be entertained by everything I would be doing inbetween. After futoor I was playing with him for a while, but I know I need a nap, so while he is entertained Im going to take a quick nap and Im not that quick!
I just got back home at 11:30pm, and I have to be at work tommorow at 8:30am to check on things. So I thought I would reward myself and really didnt care about calories or what I should or shouldnt eat. So I went to my stash in the freezer and found my KDD ice cream, and it never looked so could. But after eating it I felt damn good. But work is going to be a bitch tommorow.
Those saying that work during Ramadan arent really working! Work is supposed to be from 10 am until 3pm, and I know its shorter then some companies but that isnt really the case. I came into to work this morning around 9 am knowing I have a lot to do, and I didnt leave work today until 5:08 pm and getting to the front door of my house at exactly 5:26pm at the same time I could hear the call for prayer. Im just relaxing a bit before I have to be back at work around 8:30pm. Its one hell of a day!
Its like my battery ran out, and Im still getting energy from some where, where I dont know. I suddenly got another surge of energy around 4:30pm just going nuts! Some people stayed and some people left. I want to rest, but I know I cant! Its just one of those days! hehehe! At least when I was driving back there was no traffic what so ever! And in the morning you have to get up rediculously early to get to work on time or at time you want! Thats not including being obligated to go to the qabgahs(late dinner) every night of this week. Its been insane, Im lacking sleeping and at some meetings I felt my head was all fuzzy even though I was typing notes of what I wanted to do! What a day! This Friday some rest shall be needed, but I do want to go riding, but not tonight Im just too drained!
