You could simply be depressed. I suggest you go to a doctor of some sort and see what can be done about it. Depression is a chemical imbalance, so if you feel like you have so much, and yet aren't happy, that's probably the issue. Get it looked at.

Yeah I know, just that I don't tend to like taking meds and often they make me more depressed and suicidal (I'm not). It's really difficult.

Well I'm feeling fine today and I have a job interview. I'm really positive about it.

"Oh yeah, I'm not going to be available on Saturday mornings from September because of Arabic classes."
"Are you Muslim, Carl?"
"Whu... what? Why do you ask that?"
"I dunno, you just look Muslim-y."
"There's a Muslim-y look?"
"Yeah, and you got it. You also look Arab-y."
"I look Arab-y...?"
"Yeah. You do." (turns to the other person in the room) "Doesn't he?"
"Yeah, you really do."
"I look nothing like an Arab. Is it because I keep a bit of stubble and shave my moustache?"
"No, you just do. Now you're learning Arabic, too, you seem double-Muslim."


So, apparently, I seem double-Muslim.

Oh wow. And I thought I worked with idiots. :sorry1:

Believe me, I left out the offensive jokes.

One of which was, "Maybe we should start checking you for bombs when you come in."

Erm... >_>

I get circumcision jokes all the time.

And they think it's just hilarious....

The song "Bohemian Rhapsody is going through my head.

 

[Breathe]

I get circumcision jokes all the time.

And they think it's just hilarious....

You live in a country where it's the norm for people to get circumcised and they still make circumcision jokes? Jeez, there is no hope for humanity, is there?

Well I freaked out after my job interview but my husband insists I did well from my answers. Maybe I overreacted but I'm not sure.

I'm sure you did fine.



I just saw a guy cycle past shirtless while pushing a lawn mower and drinking a can of beer. Classy.

Vanakkam,

You overreacted. Because we, women, always overreact everything 7
ALWAYS

Lol probably, doesn't help that I'm an overemotional person on top of that!

I'm trying to fast for ramadan, actually. Since I'm not a practising Muslim, might seem strange to some but it's a good exercise of self-control and empathy towards people who starve everyday around the world.

Who knows if I'm able to do it, then I might turn to Islam again... Been thinking a lot about it lately. It would certainly be a miracle for me to succeed.

Still no internet. Tech support said they would be out yesterday late afternoon/early evening or early morning today. It is now the afternoon here, and they have not been here. And they still expect me to pay my bill, by tomorrow, to avoid late fees.
The internet access here is the only real drawback of living out here. It is this crappy wireless DSL, dial-up, or high priced satellite that comes with monthly data limits and speed throttles that kill your speed unless you are on in the middle of the night.

My nearly 5y/o girl's favorite song is Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. She sings along to it and even knows most of the words pretty well. She's next to me right now swinging back and forth just singing away..."all systems go, sun hasn't died, deep in my bones, straight from inside...."

If you're dizzy and hungry, eat. I don't know if you're hypoglycemic or not, but goodness...eat. Don't make it worse...I've been much worse, it's not fun.
