Owl, Hem and I have been running, a lot. Even though I’m the slacker, today was odd. I’d like to blame it on the weather coz the UAE has this weird weather which tires you out even if you just sit in one spot all day! But really I think its just me. This is what happens when I behave like a complete sloth monkey for months on end and then ruwalk (my acronym, my trademark 
) 3.4 kms.Today’s total was 5 kms and had it not been for Owlie’s philosophy of mind over body it would have been zero 
And now it feels like I did something bad to my legs. They don’t like me anymore 
Also I reactivated my sweat glands today. I’m the girl who does not sweat. Ever. Today though, something clicked into place or broke… who knows and really who cares? Also TMI?
So other than cancelling out all effects of the ruwalk by consuming trays of Owl-made caramel popcorn I have also been promoted… sort of. That is if you count being given an office and a new job description, which doesnt involve getting masses of documents signed, a promotion. The irony of this situation is the fact that this happened because I’m quitting in four months and the junglee office people wanted me to hand over all my stuff now so that people have time to orient themselves to the new tasks. Notice how I said people?? Yup my job has been split between three people!!! So I’m paying them back by going to work late and leaving a little earlier than the 10.5 hours I’m supposed to work everyday. I figure all that over time I did these past two years ought be enough to cover up my slack now.
So guess what they are making the always-late-slacker do? I’m writing Internal Control policies. Did I shock you enough for the day? Now please tell me if they knew I was capable of doing this all along should this not have been given to me before I told them I quit! Also despite the economic crisis, since we are apparently capable of hiring new people, a little monetary incentive would have been good!
Rant over.

Whatever is wrong, caramel corn will fix it.

They want you to stay? At least thats how i see it, and i wouldn’t be surprised if monetary incentive comes too in the next month or two.
