The American Visitors

It’s already 6 and I am still at work, we have Some American Visitors, they cam at four and at 5:30 they said all that is left is the tour and they’ll just leave but Dr. A, god bless him :( asked em if any one wants to check his/her email and what do you know all of them jumped t that opportunity, apparently they hadn’t had an online access for a while now , what normally would’ve been a 5 min glance is going into 15 minutes, and who knows when they’ll be over with it, can anybody really get enough the net when they’ve been deprived for so long.
Hope they’ll get over with it soon enough, I wanna go home :(

Walking in My Shoes

Hello everybody, another post already, I must be on fire, LOL
Anyways, it's been a while .
Nothing new , the thing i was doubting got conformed yesterday, that no more conventions or seminars for me, no more Helnan Palestine or Sheraton. all that because there would be no one left in the library if i left. do I sound like whining , maybe I am, I just missed 2 trips to Cairo , don't get me wrong am not a Cairo fan but i wanted to stay at the four seasons, never been there b4. the cliche was right you never miss something till it's gone, anyways
since i last posted nothing new happened, there was a day that i almost got interviewed by the Nile TV, but thanks god they changed their mind, I guess am not pretty enough to be on TV. LOL

talkin about Today, for the last few days we have been having some weather changes here in Alex, it's not winter yet but its not summer either, you can say it's the fall (although you gotta say that in a really low voice or else the sun will shine LOL)
Anyways it rained yesterday so i started wearing demi-season clothes, i think it's (the word not my clothes) french i don't know what it means except that you wear clothes that have sleeves but not really heavy.
anyways so today i decided to wear some shoes, I don't go bare footed LOL i usually go with platform flip flops , anyways since i am very short and my pants are very long, i needed something with high heels and a little comfy since i would stand a lot today cause we have a workshop at the library.
anyways i found some OLD shoes, i used to wear them in college (4 years ago) and they were my favourite pair, to the extend that they would get ripped and i fix em and wear em again, they seemed ok. and while i put them on i thought that maybe they would be my official pair that winter, boy was i wrong, anywayz
I wore them and went to work , at the car i could feel the heel moving from it's place while am driving so i though, I'll just glow it when i get home.
when the workshop started as expected i kept moving around the library helping people moving around and suddenly, i felt vacancy under my left heel, i didn't stop and kept moving while tiptoeing and glance at my left feet to find that the whole heel has simply left the shoe, i kept moving around while thinking and trying to figure out what to do, I can't leave work now, no ways and i can't go for the rest of the day like this and i also can't go to the HR manager and tell her i need to go home cause i have a shoe emergency. after a considerable amount of thinking i decided that i will hang for the workshop and then I'll sit in my place till the end of the day.
BUT 5 second later the other shoe started literaly falling apart suddenly i could feel the whole front of the shoe moving up and my toes were free from the confinement of the shoe.
i didn't know what to do i don't think the shoe could handled a trip to the HR manager and back and it was impossible to leave right in the middle of the workshop I even considered callin home for help but it would take too long and everyone is asleep at home for sure , when suddenly the solution came to me, no no body walked and handed me a spare shoes LOL.
I remember that yesterday i was wearing a sandal that had a high heel and hurt my leg so bad so i always take a spare flip flop so i could drive, and being the lazy person i am I left it in the car so i i took my car keys and headed toward the car, midway dr A&S wanted to talk to me about a favour i asked them for, and i was like yeah yeah, i didn't hear 1/2 what they said and kept wishing they just would go. the distance between the library and the front door can't be more than 50 steps but in those 50 steps the shoes, both the left and right fell completely a part that i was tiptoeing at one leg and trying not to lift the other off the ground, thank god nobody saw me.
anywayz i changed the shoes, now am wearing the sandals that hurt my feet soo much especially my little toe, but am happy about it.
lesson learned NEVER EVER wear your favorite OLD pair of shoes to work, and if you do you better have a replacement.
LOL
that's it for now Later!
