I have noticed that people get carried away a lot by fame and success. I was like that at one point. All I can say that if no one is paying you a lot for that, don’t do it!
That’s my advice for today! lol
I need to stop being so sporadic in my postings. I had an interesting week. Where should I start?
Last Saturday, not yesterday, a week ago, I was bored and I decided to try my luck again with job hunting. I don’t even know why, but companies usually don’t answer right away or even answer. By the same day, not even an hour later, I got an answer from one asking for an interview. I was stunned. Then the next evening, the past Sunday, I got another one that asked me to come the next day, even at the lunch hour to talk. I was like ok?
So I went on Monday. It was a small business, not even 7 people, but the owner had a desperate way of asking me to come work. After conversing, and you guys know me! I think big, I love to organize the business, and I love to make things easy for the end user to utilize. The owner said, I will pay you the exact same salary you are getting now, and parking is free. So I am saving on parking? Wow! It was such an intriguing offer to leave my current job for that. Not only that, he wanted me to do management level work and development. I was like you are kidden me? Management work with this salary? So I told him no on the Tuesday.
He was not happy.
Did I mention that I didn’t go to the first interview with the company that answered me first because they won’t even pay close to what I am getting? But I will be getting an amazing atmosphere! Wow! Pay cut to work at God’s who knows place.
So back to the first employer. I said, “No thank you. This is not a career move that makes sense to me at the moment… blah blah…. ” I got a reply back with a very angry desperate tone. I told him I am too busy to think now, maybe I will have a definite answer in the end of the week.
What would you guys think when I said, “yeah whatever, I will answer you later?” REJECTION!
Friday came, and guess who emails me at 8:00 am? HIM asking if I thought about it and want to work for him. I was like dude, I appreciate the consideration, but no.
I knew a guy a few months ago who had the same approach in wanting to date me and I kept saying no, but he didn’t get it that I was not interested in him that way. He wasn’t my type. Now, this reminds me, earlier this week, my new co-worker, a very nice girl around my age asked me, “So what is your type of guy Mona?” That came as a surprise because I didn’t have an answer. I started with labeling some physical features, but then I kept thinking that it is wrong to judge someone on how they look. Then I kept changing my mind to stuff more related to how I looked. Tall, round face, olive skinned, educated, etc. She told me, “You love your self!” I said with a confused look, “I guess so… ”
Hmm yeah… Well, yesterday at the mall, I got my second ear re-pierced. Yes, now I have 4 active piercings. 1 was closed, and I re-opened it. Now I look like my old self. I still want to get one more piercing at the top of my left ear, but I can wait. I would pierce my nose, but then I would look Indian and I would itch my nose all the time. lol
So yeah, I had an interesting week. Sort of.
Does this guy read my blog and now he has his own hilarious way of presenting this stuff? I think some stuff is over exaggerated, but damn it is funny!
I only blog to get attention. Isn’t that why bloggers write on the Internet? (sigh)
I know, a lot of lame comments I get. It’s better if I don’t write a lot to sway the attention for me, but I do appreciate all that still remember me.
Where have I been? Well, watching movies, staying warm, and going to work and hiding in my own office trying to stay warm. It it just the typical winter day.
I have been calm lately. I didn’t want to write because really, what is there to say? I am cold. I am Arab. This is not the weather that my body has evolved to over the years to withstand. I am supposed to be basking in the dessert heat, chilaxin with a camel and eating cactus. Wait, isn’t that a stereotype or just a dream?
What would be my dream right now? I would be lounging in a tropical area or dessert and looking at the clear skies thanking God I am still alive to enjoy it.
Where do you see your self right now?
Hello everyone.. again!
How is everyone doing? I feel a bit mellow today. I just want to lay back and do nothing. I feel it has been a long hard week. That’s my life every week. Once I reach the end of it I am like dear God! Then it all starts over again on Monday. Oh well!
I was looking at my archives and my emails, and I can’t believe I started my first blog entry in 2005. I don’t even remember 2005. I don’t even remember what I did yesterday, which makes me glad that I do have a blog and I can document my life. Even though I do come across as a pessimist, but I just speak my mind. Every body when they really say what is on their mind then it comes across as not so nice.
I have learned a lot about criticism and rejection from this blog. It helps in life because it really teaches you how to deal with people of every walk of life. I remember when I had my first website back in early 2000 or 1999, and people out of no where did not like me. I didn’t understand why. What was I saying that people didn’t like? I had to learn the very hard way that the truth is not acceptable. Speaking your mind and being who you are is frowned upon. I think I stopped caring in 2006/2007 when I realized that people actually spent their valuable time making hate websites about me and stealing my pictures as well.
I guess you can be loved in different ways.
What is so appealing about my blog and way of writing? Is it just the hard truth? Is it the things that people frown upon and I discuss it? I don’t do anything wrong in life. I am very honest and I learned that honestly is the best solution to all my problems. I sleep well at night. I don’t think and re-think over and over. I don’t hide anything. I am an open book and I learned to live life day by day.
If I have been ignoring or not answering your email, then I do apologize. I am just at a loss of word sometimes. (Yeah! ME!) Also, I do not want to put any advertisements or promote any products. I get a lot of those emails, and I don’t want to clutter my website. I want to redesign it one day, if I have time, and try to be a rebellious Arab girl with a different theme and point of view. For now, let’s all stick to this and see how it goes. It is only the first week of January and things are crazy already. It’s a leap year. It’s 2012. I wonder what scary movie they have up the works on December 12, 2012.
My brain is unstable. I really need more coffee eh? 
Time for me to find something to do. Peace!
Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!
