Yes, if you have not noticed, I was on a break! I was off exploring new horizons like how to not angry, and how to be silent for a long time.
Oh I will tell you a few stories to make you bored if you aren’t yet. I was torn between two worlds. One world is called will I ever get a new job? If I ever do, then I won’t give a notice that I am leaving. Why you may ask? Why am I so evil all of a sudden? Double sigh… I could start by saying that I have been here for almost 3 years and I got one raise only because someone above those greedy bastards came and told them to. Then a few months ago we kept being told there isn’t any money to pay our salaries. In my mind I think that I don’t work hard enough. I just program, maintain customers, sales (although there is a new sales person but I don’t have to teach her about marketing and selling, someone needs to teach me that, but what do I know about jobs? Incompetence gets you a job!), and I manage the software and different clients too that have contracts with us. Did I say I was getting paid less than I was in my old job? Can you imagine if I left? It will be one hell of a day! Why am I complaining? Cause I can and I am God like on my blog!
My other world, because I am failing the first one, is finding a guy. Maybe I am beyond picky and I hate pushy men. I don’t care that you want to get married tomorrow. I want to say hey how are you tomorrow and maybe we can have coffee. I think I am getting too old for this and desperation has disappeared, and all I want is a guy that wants more then, “Let’s get married now!” God! Do Arabs want something more personal like getting to know one another and maybe this stupid thing called like each other first? I am not getting married to you tomorrow instead of an excuse for a one night stand!
I can complain all day. No one wants to listen to me anyways. I might as well write it all out and I don’t care who reads it.
I will get back to what I was doing and pretend to work.
Oh my my my!,
Sometimes if you cannot find a door, use a window. I hope that you can find a door rather than having the door shown to you.
I believe that both camps (Work and Relationships) are driven by the inner you. If you can believe and trust in yourself you can go very far indeed. Don’t let the lack of progress discourage you. Use the situations as a challenge to yourself to make yourself more of the ideal you.
Welcome back nice to see a long time blogger come back from the dark abyss of time and space.
I wouldn’t worry about getting a guy. I am older than you and single and it doesn’t bother me. You don’t need a man to make your life complete besides half of the relationships out there end in tears anyways. Life is too short to be crying over some guy. You’re young and single live it up while you can.
Lets get married now!

hi Mona,
I found this Opportunity to read your blog by accident, through my reading I felt that you are realistic, show up with real stories from our daily life. I greet you and keep going.
lets see the world through your eyes.
TALAL
Hey Mona,
try & keep busy doing other stuff
just wanted to tell u that we all go through similar problems
when it comes to finding a man im not in any position to give u advise, as i myself am still single! I hate it i agree but let’s face it there’s more to life than being in a relationship
i tend to travel a lot, so that keeps me focused on something else & I get to meet interesting people ( nope not a potential husband yet)
Concerning ur job, that’s entirely in ur hands
& keep us up to date we r more than interested in ur journey 
if u really hate it that much i suggest u just quit it & get urself a new one.
ur obviously more than capable, i dont question ur intelligence nor abilities.
so all you have to do is start looking & applying to as many interesting jobs as possible as to find the one that will satsify u.
i’m sure u’ll do fine, ur just in a bad place for the moment u’ll get over it, u just have to!
goodluck with it all
I’m glad I found your blog, I’m going to read it all. I’m half Arab myself and I dont like my mothers side of the family. I’ve lived there for nearly six years and never turned back apart from twice in six years. I like my cousins but I don’t have time to meet social obligations of somewhere that’s five thousand miles away. I hope you write about family, because it would be nice to relate. If you haven’t already written one, here’s my request
I dated a bunch of bad guys and decided that I was gonna wait until I found the right one. After about a year of being single, I found the perfect guy. You just have to have faith. It will happen one day.
