I read almost all the newspapers, and some websites, every morning at work (research related). So I get the chance to know who wrote what first, or compare the different info given on the same subject, or spot typos.... Specially when its one newspaper with a typo against MANY others...
Yesterday, while browsing AlWatan Newspaper I spotted a very shocking news piece! It states that Saudi Telecom Company, STC, is giving distributions of SAR75.3! I was like Whoa! Whatta company to be distributing that much PER SHARE! I knew right there and then that this was a typo, specially when I started reading other newspapers and websites. It is suppose to read SAR3.75... (simple math, since they added SAR3 and SAR0.75). I decided to double check with AlWatan and called the Economic Division.
Let me tell you the guy was SO RUDE!!
He was like; "Sister... can I tell you something? First of all, for such mistakes DO NOT COME TO US, call KUNA for that they are our main source, so it is NOT US to blame... secondly where do you work?"
I was shocked! I told him this was not the right way to speak to me, and that all other sites and newspaper got it right so it could be a typo and I only meant well! And I told him I work in a field where I have to check such news on daily basis... he interrupted me and asked if I work for STC? I said no, and he was like then why do you care! I WAS FURIOUS at such treatment! I swear I thought they were gonna do something about it and not investigate with me! Grrrrrrr!
Oh and whats up with guys I see at work with bags!? I am talking little LV purses with no handles (no, not portfolios)! I dont like Male-brandwhores! I dont like seeing guys who are dressed in brands head to toes with the initials of that brand allover... well, girls as well! Its distracting! I have seen some girls some time ago at the avenues who were dressed this way! Screaming for attention with all the Gucci, LV, and God knows what logos on their clothes, earrings, handbags! Ughhhhh!
And why am I still suffering from my flu! I know I had a bad case of flu with respiratory infection, middle ear infection, fever of 39.5C, and sore throat! How long dose it take to be cured? And why am I still lethargic!
Hahahahaha I reread what I wrote and I am nagging a lot :-P And that guy's ad that I read on Buzberry is annoying me too!!
I am just being Grouchy Smurf for the day I guess :-P (By the way... if you strangle a smurf, what color will he turn to?)

Sheeesh that guy in Al Watan...
Why does everywhere only require "Bachelor's Degree" or such degrees, and no check up on a person's attitude?
Most of the places that refuse to employ me have such people.. they go "you need a diploma" or "you need a bachelor's" and you hear the sickest jokes and the stupidest attitudes in the back.
Allah e3een lol
And matshofeen shar.
And totally LOL at the smurf thingy!

LOL! Yeah! For AlWatan, I meant well, I swear. I was like I just wanted to let you know about the mistake cuz you're the only newspaper with that typo (but I said more, its lost in translation)
No... Male-brandwhore is not a typo, at least not to me!
White Strangled Smurf! Hmmm interesting! :-P

Why is it bank employees get brain washed about customer service?? Why not other Enterprises and Government facilities give their employees these kind of courses. They need it more than we do :((
