A pattern or a Practical Joke??

Hey I know I’ve been missing for so long, but I’ve been busy. Trying to work.
Everything isn’t working the way I thought it would be but it’s all good. Lets see my last post was on may and it was about me thinking I won’t stay at my job for long and that Dr. H the big boss was whipping my behind.
Well, he stopped that , he have been asking me to go to his office for the last 2 weeks for all sort of things, but I still worry when I get called to his office. Thank god Ramadan is comin and I won’t have to see him no more :D.
Also they made us all take the ICDL , they brought an instructer and he have us the 7 modules, needless to say I passed the 7 from the first time and I’ve also helped most of the people here.
On a totally different note, I think am starting to lose my mind, or the guyz with me at work are.
Yesterday a guy that work at the accountant department said something and it made me think about a weird pattern that has been going on for a couple of month, (or at least I think there is a pattern maybe am seeing things that arent’ really there)
Ok first off that guy from accountant said. “marry me, Lobna” am not kidding but he was . At least that what it was supposed to be. He’s married, so I was telling him that he’s an awful husband and that his wife would be entered to heaven just because she was married to him, so he said “you marry me, Lobna!” when I answered no thanks he said I wanted you to go to heaven. Now that I am writing it, it does sound like an innocent joke. But maybe it was the way he said, or maybe am reading too much into this and simply seeing things that aren’t there.
Not to mention this other really weird annoying guy, that I was helping study for the ICDL. He had to come here every single day and won’t leave and then acted like we are friends. He once was talking about his ex-fiance and then he was so like, I bet you are jealous of her. I didn’t exactly get what he meant so I was like what??. He just said nothing. I had to kick him out couple of times till he stopped coming everyday. He just comes every couple of days and tell me he’s mad at me cause I don’t check on him at all (mesh bas2al 3alleh) I keep telling him that I would never do that and he keep saying it every time.
Then there is N and the IT guys. only 2 IT are single , 1 Muslim and 1 Christine .And unrelated events
A while back my computer had a horrible virus that infected my home computer, so after formatting my home pc I needed someone to fix the one at work, and the IT guyz ever so reliable kept ignoring my pleas for a week or 2. once I talked to the Christine guy he came along and fixed it. It took him around an hour to do so meanwhile N kept coming and telling me, what exactly is going on between you 2? (in front of him), why are sitting all that time alone? I kept telling her that he was just fixing the pc, but she kept nagging. so he left and kept coming back every 15 min or so to finish fixing it.
fast forward 2 weeks, the Muslim IT guy, was coming to check my new mobile and we kept talking for about an hour or so.
Next day N called me up at the lib. to ask me "jokingly" "what's going on between you and the IT guyz, every week I find you with talking with one of them".
I treated it the whole issue as a joke, but to tell you the truth I thought she was out of line.

what the hell is wrong with ppl I work with? am I making a big deal out of nothing, or is the whole world playing a stupid practical joke on me?

:`````(

I've been away for a long while now and I don't think anybody is reading this anymore, (not that there a fanbase or something) anyways
after February I thought that I don't have a reason to write here anymore and I was seriously thinking of closing it, but I always felt to lazy to declare that it's officially no more.
I didn't even get a chance to say that I saw the first lady in her visit to wehre i work.
Anyways I believe that those are my last couple of month here cause I think they won't renew my contract in June. so like madame M I will leave with the first of july, who they intend to bring after me I don't know. (and I honestly don't care)
All I know is that my work here is done, and I am starting to hate my job here Dr. H the big boss have been whippin my butt for the last couple of month and I pray daily that I won't see him.
It's not actually my fault but he's blaming me for all sort of things,
that's it I officailly hate my JOB, and seriously thinking if by any chance they didn't fire me that I would quit.
IT SUCKS

Update

Last week was a full of events and disasters . I have been suffering from an endless stream of Headache, because of the occupation at my Library. Yesterday was the last day.
they've been here since Last Tuesday. They even came on Saturday, which meant that I had to come on Saturday too.
But it wasn't all bad because I had a Real Crush on one of the guys there, but with my usual luck he was engaged, but I still thought he was cute, I even snatched couple of his pictures from our photographer, of course the photographer didn't have a clue I took them.*Evil Grin*
he made me giggle like a school girl all week long , and before he leave I told him "O! you should come and visit us" (in Arabic you is used in singular is different from you in plural and I used plural) he said that they are a bit annoying when you are going inside and I told him "just tell them you are coming to the library " . he said he would come and even be a member of the library and he gave me his business card and told me if you ever needed anything from X hospital call me.
I am soo Smittin
On Sunday and Monday my lips swollen for no apparent reason, it started at Saturday night and went on till I went to sleep on Monday. I looked like I took Botox just to one side of my lips . I took Vitamin B complex tablets and the Swollen went away.
They changed my Monitor and now I have an LCD Monitor like Everyone Else . Yaaaay! and they are also added 2 Extra computers. Making the total of what I have 24 instead of 22. I want to remeber to tell Qu so when she's doing the tour she'd say 24 not 22.
Today I had another Meeting with Dr A & S and sevral other people, becaue of the project of the WHO. still have no idea what am i supposed to do, but we'll see. Qu came with a tour today while I was with Dr A & S and she said she saw me at Dr. H office, where I've been, I told her that we had some kind of project together. tried to make her understand as hard as I can. but I don't think i did a good job.
Next week Sa told me that they are having a
they are painting the windowframes with something and that material gave me headache, and I feel alittle bit hard.
That's it for the week kids. LOL

Headache

I Have the worst headache anyone can suffer from right now. And I've had it for 2 days. and I so happen to know the exact reason for it. This month promises to be the worst. Let's start from the beginning.
they told me that something called the Egyptian Fellowship. are having a foundation course at the centre and they rented 3 lecture rooms and the Library. yes you read it right , my very own library. didn't know it was for rent. :(
anyhow in this month 3 days of the week they are here from 9 to 5. and let me tell you they are a pain in the ... neck . the library only has 22 computers and 22 chairs. they are at least 30. so that means that they bring extra chairs.
yesterday i slept at 11, yeah me, and today i woke up at 8:10 grumpy and wanting to go back to sleep. I hate those ppl. I can't even concentrate right now cause the specific person who is talking right now, is loud.
O! and yesterday i told Dr A& S that I took the EBM course.
I leave you with this advice
before you decide to try to be nice to someone please do check out the ring on his fingers. LOL

PS
if that whole post didn't make sense to you, just realize how much in pain i really am in :)

I am back

Hey , I am back. as usual it's been forever , and as usual nothing much happened.
 the WHO Project with Dr A and S has started to take some postive actions.  today we had a meeting with Dr H (my direct boss) , Dr A and S , Dr IA (a guy who's totally weird but origonally work with the WHO.) a gurl named Dr S. she is an Ex-EGC like me, and together we represent the young people (aka the ppl who knows anything about what's goin on in this project).
the users started to come more often to the library which is a cool thing. today a gurl came and while I was giving her my piece on what our glouriouse library offer, she asked me if I was Lobna. I smiled and said yes and silently wondered. then she said that alot of her friends told her to come to ME, and that I would help her, her literal words where,  "everyone told me to go to Ms Lobna, all my friends told me just go to Ms Lobna " and then gave a signal with her hand showing that everything is done.
I dont wanna come off like am bousting or anything . but I am :). It felt gr8 . to be recommended becuase I am good. I bet alot of people go through that everysingle day. personally some people did told me that a friend recommended me. but when she said EVERYONE . I was Happy.
the fact is I am a little bit obssessive so when someone comes to the library and ask me to help him/her find somthing I take it as a personal insult if they didn't so I'd spend as many hours as necessary until I am satisfied that they found what they need.
that's it for now
I hope i'll be back soon

New Year's First Post

As usual it's been so long.
last 2 weeks not much happened, so a quick review of the most important stuff.
Last week Dr A & S met with my aunt ,her son has Behcet's Disease, so when I told them they wanted to meet her and make sure he's taking the right medication and everything is ok with him.
at the same day they had a fight with ShF, ShF is a gurl who came here 1 month before Madame M left. she's alright we both graduated from EGC and from library dep. she doesn't work with me and I hope she never will, I don't hate her, but I don't think I'll get along with her that much. anywayz she asked Dr A & S if they celebrated Christmas at 25 or 7 and they got upset especially Dr S and she was mean to ShF. then Dr A told me to go tell ShF, that they aren't mad at her and they don't want her to be mad at them. for the record I'd like to say that I am the worst messenger that ever could be sent. but I did my best I told ShF that they got upset because they are Muslims, but I *think* their Mom is christian. and it's very obvious that religion is a touchy subject with them. she was mad at the beginning but after a while she wasn't so angry, but she still felt like they embarrassed her for no reason at all.
This week nothing important happened except that the Library Cards came in yesterday, I've been waiting for the designer to make them months ago. last month I asked them about them and she said that she forgot and she just want me to send her a draft to what I think they need to look like, I have to admit that I slacked a little bit and didn't send them.
they look kinda cool .
Nothing new.
O! Except that today am wearing a new pair of Boots,they are costume made for me ^_^
but they are killing my left foot, the right is ok .
that's it for now.
O! and (Late) Happy New Year for everyone.

The boss's son

today for the second time I saw the boss's son, and let me tell you all the "kid " is hot. before you all get me wrong thinking am some kind of pedophiler. the kid is over 18. he might even be in his early 20's . but me being in my mid 20's I see him as a kid. so anyways he came so Dr. S would explain something for him, he's studying in med school. (they did the same thing to my kid sista couple of weeks back) his first name is his father's last name so he's a cute kid with a weird name. still his the best thing I've ever seen at work,of course after my love the American ambassador, and follow them closely is that Dr. i had a crush on awhile back. whom I finally learn his name and did I mention he own a BMW, the Dr. i had a crush on not the kid.
O! anyways this post is starting to sound like a crush list. so enough with it.
I'll go do something else.

Thursday, December 18, 2008

OMG! OMG!

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
I am sooooo stupid I had a meeting at 11 and I forgot it, can you imagin this? My first Fricken meeting and I manage to completely forget it and remeber it 4 hours later .
Ok,
today morning Dr S, came and told me that today I had a meeting with them and a Dr. IA , about the WHO Project at 11 O'clock. but somehow the information didn't stick in my mind and it completely sliped out of my mind.
I was reminded 5 minutes ago , by Dr. IA walking into the library. he didn't say anything, and neither did I . I was too busy cussing and calling myself names.
I really wanna go home now and hide under my covers. but in the same time i wanna go to Dr. S & A . and appologize for being so Stupid.
Those people had done a lot for me and I'd hate to disappointing them.
I feel like I wanna cry now, I suck :(


Update
:) I don't suck, there was no meeting, I met them and went to appologize for not attending the meeting , but they told me there were no meeting as Dr. IA traveled to Cairo. I know he didn't , but I didn't tell them, why would I want to bother them.
Yaaay, that teaches me next time I have a meeting I should set some kind of a reminder.

on another note, 2 days ago Dr. H (the big boss) told me that i will have to come to work Saturday 27. because this really important guy is coming from WHO Cairo, and Dr. H should be here to meet him, but he won't.
now i don't want to take the wrong idea, am sure that even if Dr. H was here I would probably would have came 2, but still I couldn't help feel important when he put it like that.
Anyways, that's it for now

Update

It's been soo Long since I posted ANYTHING work related, I guess i have a reason somewhere around here, but am not sure what exactly is it? I don't know what I've been doing here lately, I am sure am doing stuff, but wouldn't know what exactly those stuff where if someone held a gun to my head, i hardly been readin any of my usual blogs, let alone commenting (which i have to admit is something i hardly done anywayz), hardly have time to see my facebook account, I've been checking my mail but that only takes me 5 min.
I've been thinking about writing a new post here for a long time, but i didn't i really don't know what's wrong with me, I started this blog so i document the changes i go through at the "new" job , now a year and half later i don't think there is much of a change apart that Madame M left and thing fell into order nothing is freaken changed, and I don't even know if i hate it or love it or what?
but anyways i don't want to rant maybe later i'll start a new blog called "a venting of an unsatisfied bored brat librarian" LOL, that sounded shorter in my head, anywayz, I am not sure I talked about Dr A & S, they are 2 sisters both doctors both in the same dep. I totally love ,it's mutual, a lot of people don't like them.
anywayz they gave me 2 pieces of info's
1- they hinted that Madame M was bad mouthing me to Dr. H the big boss complaining that i don't work, they said that someone did that to Dr. H all the time and that they changed his opinion and put a good word about me to him. I believe them because he said they did, i just checked an old post here and I actually mention that, maybe this blog is useful after all, anywayz again they didn't say Madame M but i had the imprission that it's probably her, but there is this sneaky feeling that it might be Madame H (the nice HR lady) maybe she isn't that nice after all. well if it was Madame M then she got what she deserves and what goes around comes around, and if she's Madame H , then no worries Dr A & S got my back LOL

2- they told me that they are doing a project with the WHO (World Health Organization) and that they added MY NAME to the team work, how cool is that, I mean a project done under the supervision of the WHO, and those ppl I know it will be gr8, InshAllah . and they said that i would got paid :).
still not sure what am gonna do, but i think it will involve online searching. anywayz they told me to keep my mouth shut for now, so this is what am doing .
WISH me Luck !

Maybe next post would be about people who are important with me at work (Like I planned that one to be)

الكتابة بالعربية

لقد حاولت مراراً الكتابة باللغة العربية و لكننى ببساطة فشلب ؟ لا أعلم لما فشلت ، لا أعلم حتى لماذا قررت أننى فشلت، هل هو فشلى التام فى أستيعاب النحو و قواعده أم لأنى عشت طويلاُ فى وهم موهبتى فى الكتابة باللغة الأنجليزية .

لا تهم الأسباب الأن بعدما قررت أ، أجرب ، أجرب التعبير بلغتى الأم شئ يدعو للضحك، لكنه ضحك أقرب للبكاء كيف علمونى أن أكتب الأنجليزية و دربونى أن أفكر بالأنجليزية لأكتب الأنجليزية الصحيحة .

لماذا لم يهتم أحد باللغة العربية ، هل لأنها اللغة الأم فسأجيدها يوماً ما ؟ أتمنى ، لكنى أعرف فى صميم قلبى أن السبب بكل بساطة أنها مثل كل ما هو عربى تم التنكر له و أول من تنكر له هم العرب. فاللغة العربية هى لغة الجاهلين، لغة الفقراء الذين لم يحن عليهم الزمن و يتخرجوا من مدارس لغات ، لست مثلهم عزيزتى أنتى مختلفة ، لا تتصرفى مثلهم عزيزتى أنهم بلدى ! و ما العيب فى ببلدى أسأل و لا أجاب ؟ فأسكت وأتحدث الأنجليزية و أفكر بالأنجليزية و أكتب بالأنجليزية و مع أصحابى نضحك على جهلنا الشديد باللغة العربية و لكنه ضحك يترك أثار مرارة فى قلبى ,. و الأن هأنا أكتب بالعربية و يالله أحس بالعربية أتمنى أن يدوم هذا و لكن يدرك قلبى أن ما هى ألا محاولة فاشلة للكتابة بالعربية

و لن تدوم أبداً لن تدوم

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!

Rat or Mouse

Happy Ramadan,
It's my first post at Ramadan, I though I wouldn't blog at all at Ramadan Since I hardly have the time to do a thing. I come to work 10 and leave 2:30 and those are the official hours there have been days when I left at 3 and I once left at 1 and I usually come at 10:15 and 10:30 I even came at 10:45 once . so in the midst of this irregular hours I tried to read the Quran Daily, play games and check all the blogs o and worked just a little LOL.
anyways Ramadan had flown by and I wish that all year long would be Ramadan, they gave us extra month salary as a bonus last week. yaaay.
Dr. H (the big boss ) has been in Mexico since the 2nd week of Ramadan till now , they say he'll stay till after the eid :)
anywayz lets head straight to the reason of that post.
last Thursday i left at 2:45 cause i had to wait for some books to arrive, I need to point here that those books are PERSONAL belongings for Dr. H (the big boss) . it's not exactly books it's medical journals that have been bound together to look like a book , they were 21 volumes. anywayz they arrived on Thursday at 2:45. so I left them in their boxes and went home after locking the room (the library where i work).
Today I opened the door to find 2 of them ruined huge chunks of their bounding were missing. I didn't understand what went wrong so I went to the security who had the keys to the library. after some decisions they told me what you already guessed based on the title, that it was bitten by a mouse.
then I sent the word to Madame H (the nice lady at HR) , she came and had a look. the decisions was made that they would bring a device to expel the mouse.
of course a lot of people heard about the mouse and came to watch and that guy told me that it's probably a rat.
I also called DR. H personal assistance and told her what happened, she said that she will send those 2 books to be re-bound.
anywayz
I should leave now cause it's gettin late and I don't want to stay alone here.
No what really is puzzeling me is , is it a rat or is it a mouse? LOL
P.s
Today I started an Online course, wish me luck
and they gave us 2 boxes of ka7k el eid at work . LOL

Welcome to SMC

As usual it's been long since my last post, it's not that i don't have events happening but it's that I find it hard to commit to writing sometimes, I've wrote TONs of unfinished stories, it's a small miracle that I actually kept this thing running for a year now, its not me, a fast look to my list of blogs and you'll find that i hardly commit to any of them, anyways that's not the point now.
the Crazy Ahmed Fahmy came couple of more times and i've been gettin ruder and ruder, the third time he came he brought me Chocolate, didn't know it's the brand cause it was wrapped in a piece of white paper , anywayz i told him i didn't want anything from him and that i wouldn't take it, and i gave it back to him, as usual I was Rude with a capital R, the following time I was even ruder and told him, that I am here to work not joke with other people. anyways am hoping against hope that this loco got offended and wouldn't show up here again.
I had to come to work last Saturday cause there was a workshop and they came to the library, they've been coming since Saturday but from what i understood they finished yesterday so i they won't come today , they've been coming daily since Saturday and they gave me a headache.
Today we have a BIG visit the ambassadors of 19 African countries are coming over here, last week (Thursday to be exact) the ambassador of Mali, came over here.
but it's wasn't that Big a deal , maybe cause this time it's a bunch of them they cared that much that they made me park in the street not in our parking lot even IS (who rides a motorcycle) they made him park in the street.
Surprisingly I've been gettin more and more restless, like I can't stand work anymore, I have no idea why, maybe cause for the first time I didn't take any summer Vacation , I dunno but I am just sooo tiresome.
Anyways I have to run now cause it's almost 11 now and this is when they are expected.

Ahmed Fahmy 2

so yesterday was a very busy day, Dr H (the big boss) had somefriends over and he was goin to give them the grand tour and of course the library is a very important part of he tour so I had to turn on the computers and get ready for him, while i was doin so, that crazy dude ahmed fahmy came in, of corse after last time i had a decission that i am goin to be rude to him, so the second he came in i just glanced at him and said "I am very busy right now, so you can just sit at a PC " he was so puzzled and thrown that i had actually to repeat that one more time, LOL.
anywayz for around 15 min i totally ignored him and continued what i was doing (which was opening all the 21 PC on 3 spesific pages), after that he told me he needs to write an email and could i write it for him, it's actually a part of my job so i had to do it, but i told him give me 5 minutes and then i went to see the IT guy about a problem we have in the computers, and then I came back i wrote the email but i kept my eyes on the monitor didn't look at him no matter how long he talked and i never actually answered him, hardly laughed at his jokes, after writing the email (in like 5 minutes) I was leaving so he asked me can i teach him how to use the computer, i told him that i didn't have the time today, and then left i walked to my mobile and pretended i am gonna make a call, surprising he followed me and asked me if i was upset with him, i smirked and told him no, then he started tellin me that he wants to work in the SMC and how he met Dr. MM and that he wants to know if I knew someone who can "pressure " her so she would except him here, i said i didn't, as if i would ever tell him, anywayz that's my it, hopefully he wont come here again, cause if he did Not only i would be COLD i'd be rude too, hopefully he got the message.

Ahmed Fahmy

IT's been sooooooooooooooo Long since I posted here, I've been very busy and also I think I had lost the urge that made me want to start this blog, I started so one day I can look back at those days (the days that i was really bored) and wish i had them back, and I am kinda there it's seems that Since Madame M left i always have stuff to do to the extend that i feel like am staling and I hardly have time to check my email everyday.
anyways maybe my new urge for writing is to count the strange charachters i meet at my job.
Today at 10:00 am a man walked in on me, he is a new user in the library (I've seen him before when he Joined the library , he seemed decent enough he just seemed like he's a flirt). Today he wanted to send an email and needed my help. of course i helped him as this is actually a part of my job. he wanted to mail an English female friend apparently there is a love story between the 2 of them, anyways he was sending that one email I mean I was, he said what he wanted to say rephrased it and typed it on the computer the whole email should've took around 5 min to write and send but it took us hour and a half to do so because he kept interrupting me with his stories at first he was just a harmless old guy flirting and giving compliments and reminiscing about his life but slowly it turned in to this bizarre situation where i felt that he wasn't even kidding he kept saying he wanted to go out with me (as purely friends) at first i laughed it off and then when he repeated that saying that he was serious I just kept laughing and told him that this is impossible surprising enough he kept saying that he wanted me to travel with him. he told me the story of his life about his 2 wives and his son that he hardly ever see and where he is originally from where did he work all of his life. how he met his English friend he also asked me this bunch of questions about my family and me , the dude must be 50 or more and he actually told me that he'd want to talk to my father as in wanting to Marry me eeeeeeeewwwwwwww.
I pretended that everything he said was a funny joke, but i honestly believe this dude is CRAZY , he actually made me physically sick (I was nausea and felt i'll pass out )and am praying he wouldn't come tomorrow the only thing that saved me from him was another user came in to the library so he left.
Anywayz if he ever Came in again I Promise I will be rude as ever, sometimes it just doesn't pay to be nice





On a more personal note I lost another 6 KG making the amount I lost 10 KG , Yaaaay me :))

Been soooo long

It's been so long since I've done any posting, I was busy , I promise you I was.
so I'll just give you a run through what happen since i last posted..
that day we went to fish market for dinner, and then went to helnan Palestine , stayed till Wednesday, went home on Wednesday and then came back to work on Thursday worked my ass of (wasn't even my job it was Is) and did that also on Sunday, then I heard that Mrs H husband died, it was a very sudden death. I cried that day when i went to see her at night , she was so broken.
anywayz, I kept working the whole week very hard, and then i heard that there was a Convention in Helnan Palestine June 21 that was a Saturday so before i left on Thursday i asked whether am in it or not, Dr , A told me he'll see and he never got back to me.
So i assumed i didn't on Friday night N called me at home and told me i have to go. I went on Saturday morning and we stayed till Sunday afternoon.
On Monday Madame M asked me why didn't i call her and tell her that i wasn't coming on Sunday, I told her that I couldn't call her Friday night cause it was late and I assumed that she already knew. anyways I when i came back from Helnan Palestine, i started classifying the entire library.
the whole week went by with me classifying then the on Thursday i finished Doin that.
Last week was Madam M last few days in the centre and until then she didn't say that she's leavin on Monday 23 I asked her if she's leavin and she said she "might" leave. give me a fucken break, anywayz on her last 2 days she was a total b**** i could see her emptying her drawers, she was very mean to me. on her last day (which was a Monday) I started putting the books in an order according to the classification I've done.
her last words to me before i leave were, I am leavin now I might come on Tuesday and might not. she left around 2.30 2 and half hours earlier than she should've and 1 and half earlier than she usually does, anywayz surprisingly the first word that went in my mind after she left was good riddance, don't get me wrong i don't hate her, i really felt sorry for her cause she left and i was nervous that the spot light now is on me waitin to see if I'd fill her shoes or not.
but she wasn't exactly trying to leave us with good memory she was almost as if she was mad on everyone, the following day everyone came to ask if she really is gone? and wondering how come she didn't say goodbye to ANYONE , not a single person even ppl who considered her a friend.
Dr. H (the big boss) came after she left asked me what i am doin I told him that am classifying the library. and he said i have to be over with it before mid July.
god! I have to work harder, but my Pc keeps goin banana every other day and i have no idea why it does that.
anywayz also Dr H (apperantly she's been me and Madam M boss for a long time but i've never known) she cam to me and asked me how am holding on and then asked me what am doin and gave me some stuff to do in Auguest.
Hopefully I'd remember.
On 15 last month I started a diet and i also go to the gym till now i lost 4 Kg, that's 2 Kg a week, yay me
but this made me not be able to go out with my sisters and friens since goin out means eating (at least to me) but it's worth it to find that cloth that hardly fit me before are alittle wide now.LOL
WOW that's it for now cause i wrote 2 much stuff
Later

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 .

Good Morning Madam M

today was just like any usual day in my boring SMC life, I came early cause i figured probably Mr h the boss will be there early.
the day kinda flew Dr Ha Came and asked me to do some work for her which i and in my way to give it to her N, Dr H the boss’s secretary, called me over, she was on the phone so I had to wait till I find out what does she wants , while am hanging around in her office Madame M came and saw me so she asked me what am doing here (like it’s any of her business) so I told her am not sure, then 10 minutes later N gave me a letter that I have typed it earlier to Dr. A so when Madame M realized that she went on telling me that I should run anything by her and when I told her that I told her before that I told her I typed this letter, she told me that I should ‘ve told her that I already did, (I have to admit that 1 of my many flaws is when I feel am under attack I get defensive it’s like I don’t want ppl so say I did anything wrong) so we went for a couple minutes in a you should told me to I already did routine and then I went back to my desk she told me that anything I should do am supposed to tell her which I still wont “always ” do like yesterday Dr. H the boss sent me an email and told me to send it to a certain ppl, I won’t tell her for 2 reasons 1- Dr. H asked them from me not her 2- because when I first worked at the SMC Dr. H the boss asked me to send him an email and gave me an email and everything , I was new and I didn’t want her to feel threatened so I told her everything, then she told me not to worry cause she’d send him the email, wanna guess what happened , yeah absolutely right she didn’t and Dr. H got the impression than am not competent so am sorry Madame M won’t let you do that again to me, he already think that you are not good enough you’re over 60 you already retired and apparently this job is not that important for you am 25 this is the job of my dream I won’t let you ruin it for me , thank you very much,

Plus it’s not like she run everything by me.

Hopefully this situation will be resolved soon with no real problems (at least not for me LOL)

Anywayz before Dr. H the boss left he summoned me in his office and asked me if I sent the emails I told him I did and he was very pleased, gr8 work Lobna

Ps I started this post at work but finished it at home cause a friend was waitin for me at the street so I couldn’t keep her waitin any longer

That’s it for now

is it WOW3?

yeah it just might be my third post about my and my boss Dr.H.
today i came about 9:30 am and found out that he's already here, i hurried to the library turned on every computer and mine and while i was opening the internet explorer on the first one he came in, he and Dr. A and qu. then he asked about certain things in the WHO then asked me to follow him to his office and i stayed in his office for like 10 or 20 min.
then he started asking me about the journals we subscibed at and the WHO stuff. and he asked about a certain list then i told him it's with Madame M, he then asked about her when i told him she wasn't here yet he didn't like it he kept repeating that it seems that she doesn't wanna be her anymore (of course a clear sign that they won't renew her contract next year) then he sent me some stuff on the email and told me that i have to start knowing everything.
i need to pause just a minute i don't wish for Madame M to get fired although am not her greatest fan (don't think anyone is) but i don't wish her harm, don't get me wrong I've always said that when she dies i'll bring ma friend Noga to work in her place, but that's another matter i mean she's already a zillion years old and she'll die eventually. i don't want to have the slightest hand in her leaving . plus to be honset it was hardly ten so it wasn't that late(she usually come on 11:30 ) we start at 9 but everyone comes at 9:30.
upausing and going back to what happened
then i stayed in his office for a while and every few minutes he'd say the same thing about Madame M.
after that i came back to the library and waited for a while then she came , i was still guilty from what i felt like my fault so the minute she came i tried to look worried (which wasn't that hard cause i already felt guilty) she asked me if he asked about her and for the first time she wasn't that worried I told her he did and that he wanted stuff from her, she didn't seem concerned and went to her desk.
the email dr H sent me did reach me so i told his secretary N that and gave her my email again and asked her not to forget to give it to him and then just kinda zoned out. at 2pm Madame M asked me if dr. H is sending me an email then she asked what was in the email? i told her and she in the mid of my sentence she seemed like she lost interest.
then at 3 she left , i mean that woman should pay more attention to her work
anyways that's what happened today nothing, and the email is still not here
that's it for now
