It has been an extremely tough period!
I can’t remember the last time I was exhausted this much.
I can’t believe its been over a month since i last listened to music.
I can’t remember the last time that I sat down and breathed.
Alter ego: So Doomish, first of your name… tell us the good stuff!
Me: Well, I have an apartment now, empty, mind you, but still…
I bought the necessities; I’ll let Mrs. Doomish-to-be buy the rest when she comes here.
The necessities are a water cooler, fridge, water kettle, clothes iron, TV, satellite receiver, router, toaster, bed mattress, pillow, and the most important thing in the world: sugar, Coffee-mate, and lots and lots of coffee.
Alter ego: So, are you settling in comfortably at work?
Me: Um, it’s weird, I’m out and about most of the day meeting new people and building contacts; that is not me, THAT IS NOT ME! Also, writing news stories on various topics is challenging, man; I had an article on a stamps exhibition, another one about science festivals for kids, and other articles about medicinal issues, fires, a gang of thieves, shit, man, it’s diverse!
Alter ego: Man up! You better do some good work, or you will get your walking papers! Tell us about the emirate you are in charge of.
Me: Well, Sharjah is complicated and really vast! Without Google Maps, I would have been lost since day one! The traffic jams are unbearable! On the plus side, taking a wrong exit isn’t as catastrophic as in Dubai. Man, once I took a wrong exit in Dubai, and I ended up late almost an hour to my destination.
In Sharjah, everything is kind of low-key and hush-hush when it comes to bad and negative stuff, unlike in Dubai, where everything seems in the open.
Alter ego: How about RAK?
Me: I haven’t gone there yet. I’m trying to familiarize myself with Sharjah; it’s more important at the moment.
Alter ego: So what about the title of this post? You went on a boat and got lost, right?
Me: Meh, Na. For the first time, I had spare time, so I went to the beach, kicked back, and listened to some music with a cup of large coffee from Dunkin Donuts. May their coffee stream never end. I drifted away watching the sunset. The weather is just amazing these days.
Alter ego: Good for you dude, any plans for the weekend?
Me: Yes, SLEEP and hopefully not sleep, but SLUMBER.
Alter ego: Honestly, this chat is boring; how about you do something away from here?!
Me: Crawl back to whence you came, Maggot!
“Brights were the days and fiery the sun
The nights were soft and cloudless; the silent welkin hung.”
Doomish:
Brave, Courageous and bold.
Long live his fame,
and long live his glory.
Long may his worthless posts be told.
