Smoke Ban!

I wish we had the same thing here... I could shoot some dear friends for a reason then!

Ps: Actually we do have the same thing, BUT no one even cares about it. People smoke during work hours in the stairs (we have no smoking area), they smoke in the cafes & as a very outgoing person that makes HUGE problems for me & the funnier point is that a smoker told me

'You could stop coming to the cafe if you dont like smoke'

You get the picture.

I Got My Internet Back!

Thanks God!


I was losing my mind! It's good to be back!

My Days

This is written in request of a friend:
My life is pretty normal Well... but I guess u do not know what is normal in Iran LOL.
I usually wake up at 6:30 (my alram goes off at 5:45 though) & I leave home at 7:30 or so. I have a half-an-hour ride to reach my work by a taxi. I dont take my car cos I work in a restricted area where cars are not allowed in. I start work at 8. I'm a food inspector in an Orgnizational Company. So I have to go down to the site sometimes but I'm more in the office nowadays. Work times finish at 4 here but I usually have to stay overtime till 6 pm cos I take one day off each week for my classes. The ride back home take usually an hour or so.... bad traffic & all that junk. Anyway, I usually have classes in the evening: My English conversation gatherings, painting classes, gym & some school courses. If I would not have a class I'm usually out with my numerous friends. We go out to movies, cafes, resturants, theaters, bookstores &.... I participate in some different group of friends so it takes a lot of time for me to stay connected to them all. Usually it's 9ish when I get back home. & then I have a few words with my family, I study a bit. I play Sims II & I sleep around 11.
Workday starts from Saturday till Wedensday & we have Thursdays & Fridays off. However, I have classes on Thursdays too so that leave Fridays to be spent by my family & of course study a bit!
Well that's how my life passes me by.

Here Come Yalda

In my personal opinion, Yalda Night (Celeberating the victory of Light over darkness) is the best one-night celeberation of Persian culture.
Some say that Chahar-shanbe-soori (the bon-fire night near Norooz) in March, is the most memorable one, yet for me, Yalda has a very special place... I have such nice memories of the tales been told by fire light, the poems read, the stuff eaten (you know I LOVE snacks) & ... that hardly anything else can replace them.
This year Yalda is Thursday night (Weekend in Iran) so most families gather together & have fun. It should be another memorable night.

Anyhow, it'll be my birthday in 2 weeks too.... My Sister says "You like Winter, cos you were born in winter". Maybe she is right... or maybe simply, winter is the nicest season ever.

Somewhere in Between

I still don't have a clue if I will be staying in this job or not. People are running around doing things but I spend my days at my desk just lazing around... & still nothing.
On the other hand, I went to the doctor's yesterday (I hear you say at last!) & he said that I have to take medications for a month & go back to check my condition. I feel tired still but there is hope that I at least get some rest when finally they put me out of job.
I'm not angry, upset or afriad. Whatever that happens would be for my best. I will find a part time job & I will have more time at hand to study. No worries there.

Job or No Job?

Yesterday I had classes so I did not come to the office. During this ONE day, my boss had resigned & I've been informed that there is an expelling letter waiting for me!
God bless the whole of them.
I might be out of job as of this Saturday. No payment, no security, no penalty for kicking me out of Job!
Congradualtions Proshat! You've accomplished so much!

Someone New...?

How About Me?

Rain... Rain... & More Rain!

Did anyone mentioned anything about using cooling system somewhere in Dear Lynne's Comments? Not me certainly! *Tries to hide somewhere*
It had been raining all day yesterday... such a nice way to speand a holiday... sitting by the window nursing a cup of tea & listening to the rain fall... & shivering!!!!

Listen to the pouring rain,

Listen to it pour,

& with every drop of rain

You know I love you more

Let it rain all night long

Let my love for you grow strong

As long as we're together

Who cares about the weather?

Listen to the falling rain,

Listen to it fall.

& With every drop of rain

I can hear you call.

Call my name right out loud,

I can hear above the clouds,

& I'm hear among the poddles,

You & I together huddle,

Listen to the falling rain,

Listen to it rain.

SURPRISE

& that's how it's done....:
I watched with my own eyes that Mr. Poltics who was supposed to be in Canada studying, walked up the stairs of a resturant in Tehran & meet my questions with "Yeah, right I'm my brother!"
I just froze, could not believe my eyes & I had to pinch his cheeks to make sure that he was real! It was really funny... I could explode with joy.
When the initial shock washed off, it was time for questions: "What the hell are you doing here?" "Why did you come back?"

"I have only three words," he said "Loneliness, My friends & family"

& That's how it's done!

Proshat
You Pronounce the first part : (Pro) the same way you Pronounce a word like profound, or protein.
