Workin'

so i finally started working ... by that i mean they finally decided to give me some shit to do ... been working for the past week now ... the past two days have been normal ... but prior to that i was working twelve hour days ... and we even worked on thursday and friday ...
we just moved to our new facility so that's why ... the preparations for launching require a lot of time and effort ... needless to say i'm exhausted ... we got this new client who deals in medical equipment ... like hospital supplies and what not ... in addition to our existing clients ... and there are still many more on the way ...


still watching movies ... the pursuit of happyness ... and 300 ... i'm guessing everyone has seen them ... but in case you haven't ... i highly recommend ...
i've also seen vantage point ... very similar to the movie go if you ever heard of it ... whereby they bring the same event but from different points of view ... not bad but the ending kind of sucks ...
what else have i seen ... i watched sweeney todd ... it's a musical so that's annoying ... very annoying actually ... but it's not your stereotypical homosexual musical ... it's a pretty gruesome movie ... plus sacha baron cohen aka borat has a cool role in the movie ...
trying to think of else what i've seen ... that's all i can remember ...

driving in riyadh is an adventure ... people here drive like psychos ... i am finding myself honking and cursing more than ever ... i think i curse an average of ten mothers a day ... and another five sisters ...

my friends will all be going on vacation soon ... like in a few days ... leaving me all alone here in this desert ... they are literally deserting me ... i should be going to amman next month ... to attend my brother's wedding ... but only for a couple of days ...

life is boring ... but whatever ... i'm definitely getting a cable subscription next month ... orbit or showtime or just plain satellite ... but something ... so that should make life a little bit more bearable ...

the other day was somebody's birthday ... somebody i'd rather forget ... if it wasn't for facebook i wouldn't have known ... so i did the only reasonable thing ... i removed her from my list of friends ...

i'm starting to realize why people tried to warn me about moving to riyadh ...

as far as the house ... i'll post some photos soon ... maybe even a video ... i promise ...

in closing ... i leave you with the song i want you by third eye blind ...

eh ya3teek alf 3afieh.. ma3leish tawwil balak, give it time,you'll adjust fine soon inshallah..it is hard no matter where you are, Riyadh, florida it's all the same..
a couple of days in amman will give you a much needed break and you'll come back as new :)

So,driving in Riyadh is similar to driving in Beirut but without the guns ??
take care:)

Thanks for the movie recommendations :)

Well, here is the thing. Would you rather be working or sitting at home and being bored to death? :P

I honestly do not think driving in Riyadh is worse than driving in Jordan :D

Mabrook to your brother, here is something to look forward to. I wish I can visit even for a day :(

As for the Facebook 'friend,' you did the right thing.

manutdfanatic .. well i have a friend who should be introducing to me the world of riyadh compounds but it hasnt happened yet .. thanks Allah ybarik feeki .. facebook hehe .. and thanks again :)

noura .. its not like beirut cuz beirut is too congested .. whereas riyadh is just a vast network of highways .. so theres a lot of speeding going on :/

hala .. sure always come here for movie recommendations from now on .. i watch an avg of like 4 movies a week .. for ur question i would rather have a job i enjoy but hamdulila nonetheless .. like i told noura its worse than jordan in the sense that there are a lot of highways here and most of my routes involve highways :/ .. and thx Allah ybarik feeki .. and ya i felt good about the facebook move :D
