OMG! This is the longest post ever

Today was one of the most eventful days of my working life. To start from the beginning tomorrow was nearly eventless (I hardly even remember it) and it passed fast enough, at 5:30 my phone rang, I was in my car so I picked up to find a guy named W who works here at the center he told me to come early (before 9:45 that means around 8:30) because am goin to the No2rashy .
So today I woke up at 7 and was here at the centre at 8:20 and as usual we didn’t move from here until 9:20, but before we leave I met N (the one I think is soo not my style ) she asked me have you heard the latest news? and of course I told her I didn’t she said that they won’t renewal madam’s M contract.
To tell you the truth I was upset , and shocked never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that they’d do that, I mean even if she didn’t work that good to just fire her ass, with no prior warning it’s creepy, anyways when I asked her why? She said she don’t know but Dr. H (the boss) didn’t want her, and that everyone begged him to keep her but he wouldn’t . OMG! It’s because of me, of course I didn’t say that but I thought it, anyways N told me not to tell anyone since she only knows cause she is the one who typed it, (as a secretary) .
Then off I headed to the no2ashy , which wasn’t as bad as everyone else said it was. Don’t get me wrong it was DISGUSTING but I thought it would be even more DISGUSTING, maybe part of the reason I didn’t hate it that much is because there were no other ppl only ppl who came with me from the centre (don’t get me wrong there was other ppl but they all happened to be GURLS and since guys & gurls aren’t treated 2gether then it was only us ) the nurses treat you there like you are one of 2 things 1- in jail 2- in the army, they bark orders that you have to follow, if you didn’t …………… you figure that out.
Anyways I came back from the No2rashy intact I was hot disgusted felt like throwing up with my hair tied after it was down, but still intact. (I know it could’ve been worst). Anyways I came back and then I started classifying the books (I started that yesterday)
Then couple of hours later M (a gurl who works here who I have a minimum contact with) came and told me to do some stuff for the convention we have tomorrow, I started to do that, then a call came in the there is some new books coming here, when they came the dude who’s supposed to sign for receiving them didn’t come (his name is Is) so I went down to fetch him, and he asked me to do him a favor, since these books will eventually come to the library and I’ll sign that I took them, that I take them and he will sign cause his English is awful, I said I would , I don’t know the exact number of those books but am sure there no less than 100 probably 200.
anyways while I was doing that Madam H called (she’s the HR manager) and told me that Dr, H is coming with some VIP and are taking a tour at 6 pm , (which I knew already because Dr’s H secretary told me and she also told me confidentially that Dr H has a lot of hope in you so you wouldn’t let him down ) and that I needed to be dressed in formal , which I totally wasn’t because I knew am going to the No2rashy so I dressed in jeans J
LOL
Anyways then N came and told me that I am staying in Helnan Palestine for the duration of the convention, and I had to get my bags ready, WOW.
So I told Madam H I still have work to do it was around 2 so I gave them till 3 then decided I’d leave, of course at 3 I wasn’t done yet so I went to Is told him that I gtg right now
Anywayz I went to my aunt borrowed a blazer from her then I flown home got my bag ready and flown back here, at 5:15 I was inside the library and it was a total mess, books everywhere, empty boxes. It was totally upside down, I took off my blazer and started moving the books Madame H came and found me doing that , so she sent a couple of workers to assist me, in 20 minutes the library was as good as new so I turned on all of the computers opened the webpage and closed the shades turned on the high lights , cut off the internet of my pc and plugged it to another one so when the Dr. H comes find every PC working, then wiped my hands and face, and opened all the AC closed the doors and relaxed on the chair , then Dr H came so I gave him a replay email for the things he asked about couple of days ago, he told me to give it to Dr A, then sat down took a deep breath and started writing the whole thing on a Word file so I would put it on my blog later, then Madame H cam and told me that I should take care of my work and a whole lecture that means in a nutshell cover your ass and take care or you’ll get fired like Madame M (she didn’t mean it a mean way at least it didn’t sound like one, she was more shocked about the fact that they fired Madam M , so she’s kinda wondering who would he fire next since all of them don’t understand what is he so upset about). When I told her there was a certain things that we told Dr. A about and he said he’ll do it. she said and I quote – here you have to do your work not wait for anyone’s help or else you are the one who’ll take the blame later on, the library now is under the spotlight and there is a lot of things that he(Dr. H) is less than satisfied about so take care. And if you need ANYTHING come 2 me.
End of quote
And also NV (Dr. H secrtary )told me that Madame M is leaving, I told her that I heard words but am not sure and that Madam M didn’t say anything to me and I asked her Why and she said that Dr H doesn’t like her work and before she said anything else Qu came in and she didn’t complete.
They stood for a while and left.
Now it’s 7:27 and the ppl are not here yet so I am tired, sleepless and hungry
That’s it for now,
P.s and if you think it’s tiredsom to read ALL that imagin doing it,
And on another note my feet hurt like hell cause the shoes am wearing is sooo tight, god I hate formal .

poor girl what a freakin tiresome day u had, and no food, or any thing -u could've eat any thing when u went to fetch the jacket or when u were packing ur bags-, but god be wiz u, an have fun during the convention :D

as for madam M, i'd actually be sorry for her if she needs this job financially, but if she was just working, to spend time or any other reason, then she didn't take her work seriously, donno, but she always comes late, some times she donn even show up, and that's not professional, but still u can't help feelin a bit sorry for her :)

thanx i know i should've ate when i went home but there wasnt anytime and i wasn't really inclined to try to find time but it was ok cause at then end of the day they took us to have dinner in Fishmarket, I am not a huge fish fan but i was hungry so i ate. . the convention was ok
and i know what you mean about Madame M, I don't think she really needs that job, from what i get that she only have one son who lives at the US, plus she has Health insurence from the WHO so it's i think she takes retirement salary from them,
anywayz i still feel sad for her
Sorry i didn't replay to that earlier I've been workin my butt of for the last couple of days including today.
thats it for now
later
