Where Was I?

That was taken last week!

Where was I?

Where am I?

This pic was taken few days back ;-)

Communications "Skills"

Yes! A lot of sales people, call centers, waiters/waitresses, managers need it!

A new restaurants opens, my sister goes with her friends for breakfast and get mixed up orders THREE times! Not to mention the careless manager. They tell him we wont pay... he goes "be my guest". He does not even try to make it up to them

Telemarketers who cannot understand "NOT interested" and keep asking for a minute or two to at least convince me into getting their products! I mean they want me to buy new shampoo, I tell them I am bald, they still wanna talk!

Call centers! Yes, I ask about an offer, she goes the promotion period is over, I ask her what was it about, and she say why do you wanna know? ITS BECAUSE I WANNA KNOW! And its not like she ask why do you wanna know? She goes and interrupt me before I finish my question and tell me with a sarcastic tone that I am TOO late to be asking about it! What if I wanna understand the ad itself!

Its not just that! I go into the elevator and someone burps! WTH! No sorry no excuse me NO NOTHING!

Paid!

I have just received a "PAID" latte and club sandwich in organic bread from CR!
Hmmmm Yumm! And Thanks????

UPDATE:
My blog was acting all weird at work and I could not update it... Turned out it was a treat from Coffee Republic themselves because I received mixed up order the day before ;-)

Headless!?

I was reading AlRai Newspaper and on page 30 When I saw this picture, which I cannot explain! Where is that woman's head???? Are they two women or one?

Where am I?

IVR - Again

I received another email today about something I posted some time ago regarding Zain's IVR. Wonder if its true!


Thanks Zona ;-)

Domino Effect... Still On

As I was walking out the door towards my car, I saw Isaac (our driver)... I clearly said this to him.

"Isaac, dont make any plans today at around 10:00am. I am dropping my car at the bodyshop in Shuwaikh... So I want you to pick me up from there and drop me to work"

He said ok!

So I went to work and left at around 90:00AM heading to Shuwaikh. I get all the paper work done and call Isaac.

Ansam: Can you please pick me up now.. I am in Shuwaikh?
Isaac: I am in the Coop with your mom
Ansam: WHAT! I told you that I needed you today! I will be late to work!
Isaac: Talk to madam
Ansam: Mom... can you please tell him to pick me up? I dont want to be late for work... Dad can come and get you?
Mom: Sure... we just got in, I will be done by the time hes done with you
Ansam: Thanks :-* OK so let me talk to him please
Mom: OK dear
Isaac: Yes?
Ansam: I am not at the dealership.. I am in the Shuwaikh garage.. OK?
Isaac: Yeah.. I know the place, been there with Sir
Ansam: Perfect.. Thanks
Isaac: You're welcome

15 minutes later... phone rings

Ansam: Are you out?
Isaac: Yeah I am home
Ansam: HOME!?
Isaac: Yes.. where are you?
Ansam: I told you to pick me up from the garage... THE GARAGE ISAAC
Isaac: I did not hear you well I guess
Ansam: I DONT WANT TO BE LATE TO WORK... Come to Shuwaikh NOW!
Isaac: OK

15 minutes later... phone rings

Ansam: Are you out
Isaac: Yes, outside garage #7

I did not pay attention to the numbers, but THANK GOD he came to the right place

Isaac: So you want to go to work?
Ansam: Yes please
Isaac: Which road should I take
Ansam: Any road that leads to Kuwait City
Isaac: Rd 45 or 40?
Ansam: I dont care

*I was not in the mood to talk to him cuz all I was thinking is I wanna choke him*

Isaac: OK

Now I am at work, and the minute I got to my floor...... I threw up :-S

The Battle

Which one do you believe in....

"Absence make the heart grow fonder"

or..... "Out of sight out of mind"??

Caste System!

I was out with my friend, Joanne, when she said something about the caste system.... IN KUWAIT!

Ansam: What? Caste system in Kuwait? Really??
Jo: Uh huh!!!!!
Ansam: You think?
Jo: YEAH! Come on... Sunnis? Shiites? Social classes?
Ansam: Its not THAT bad
Jo: Yes it is
Ansam: Not really!?
Jo: Would your parents let you marry someone outside your social class or marry someone with different religious beliefs or sectors!?
Ansam: Well.... if you put it this way.. hmmm
Jo: You see?!! You DO have caste system in Kuwait!
Ansam: Its everywhere but its not that bad in here in Kuwait! We dont have the outcastes - "untouchables"!!!!
Jo: BEDOUNS!!! They are not allowed to travel or go to school or even work!!!!
Ansam (silent)
Jo: See!! There you go!


What do you all think? Do we have "Caste System*" in Kuwait?

*I studied about the caste system back in college in one of my anthropology classes, you can click on it above to learn more.

Yahoo!-STUPID-Groups

OK so lately I have been added to stupid yahoo! groups whos members send TONS AND TONS of email messages, most of which are useless and they flood my inbox DAILY on the hour every hour... it not one group that I have been added to, not two, not three... BUT MANY! I am getting sick of this and I dont know who is adding me to those time-wasting groups who would just send stupid useless email messages ALL DAY LONG! Why am I being add to begin with? How is it done? Do people just add me randomly or what? I woke up this morning to find six+ friggin email messages from some stupid yahoo! group about some stupid event happening at Beit Dalia, or a picture of a butterfly, or the most expensive LV handbag!!!! So this is how my day is starting, me in a very icky mood! wonder how my day will turn out to be! Ughhhh!

Happy Bad Mood Day!

How is this even possible?

IVR - Zain

I dont know if this is true, but that picture above is of ZAIN's (formerly MTC) IVR Man:

“The mobile has been switched off, or out of the coverage area. Please try later”


He has been the IVR for the longest time ever! Ever wondered how he looked like? LOL :-P

Can anyone confirm this?

Help!

I have been playing this game of guessing company logos (130 companies in total)
I got stuck on some of them (pic attached)... I thought I have some of them right, like ING Group and UN... but can you help me with it?


Cheers!
