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.
