I killed a bird yesterday. The stupid bird just flew into my windshield, as I was driving along the Abu Dhabi/Dubai highway. I saw it coming from the left, and it just hit my windshield with such force, I really thought my windshield would crack!
I was shocked for about 3 minutes, not really realising what had happened. Poor birdie. R.I.P...
That was yesterday morning, the start of what looks like is going to be a very rough week. Work, work, and more work....enough work to last me a lifetime...I've come to the realisation that I hate meetings. Not just because most of them are simply completely useless and a complete waste of time, but also because meetings usually mean that I have to stay an extra 5 hours at work just to try to catch up on the workload. And that was in fact the case yesterday.
And to top things off, I have a horrible back ache that's making me miserable, you know, the kind of back ache that makes you hurt when you take a deep breath...and that woke me up at 5AM this morning. I feel like I'm 70 years old!
And that was just Sunday! I wonder what the rest of the week has in store for me...
This blog is all about stories...stories about me, about my life, about Dubai, about my life in Dubai (and Abu Dhabi), and about anything that I find interesting enough to share with you...Enjoy!

Oh my God! You criminal!!!!
Can't believe you killed a bird...you should feel so bad!!!
:p
Btw, why is your post posted 3 times?
And how's your back?
WoW... you know, while we were driving in Syria, a hawk just decided to plunge into our windshield. It didn't die but it almost had us killed... and I realize now that windshields are really, really strong.
Listen Sis....I feel bad enough already, I don't need you to emphasize the fact that I killed a bird ok? :p
And my back still hurts. I am sure the 4 hours of sleep do not help either.
KJ, a hawk!!! I would have definitely freaked and started screaming!
Poor widdle birdy - but then, maybe it had a death wish and you helped it to succeed! :-)
Take some time out and come to Building 1 and have lunch with J and me!
Or just take the afternoon and go to sleeeeeeeeep!
Seriously
was it a seagull, cuz my only memory of seagulls in Dubai was them mercilessly shitting on me during lunch in the St. Mary's playground.....
Tough luck on the back....tis stress.
Crankyputz...not a seagull...no...thankfully...I think that would have been disastrous!
NZM...u back in Dubai??
Yup!
so it's back pain. Salemtik.
well drive more carefully next time!
as for meetings, i hate em for exactly the same reasons as yours above.. btw, i tried something today .. we had this big meeting with 12 suits.. and i was not in the mood to sit on it.. i wanted 1 guy for 10 min to get info for my report.. so i found him, collared him and had a mini meeting with him b4 the main meeting.
got my stuff done, he got his stuff done then i skipped the meeting and was home by 5.30pm
