Bank holiday weekend
Don’t really have a better title, so the above will do for now.

Haven’t blogged for a while, so let’s just start [ranting] from the beginning .......

Work is doing my nut in. I know I can do so much better than the shit hole I’m currently am at, at the mo. A few months ago I really thought I was making some kind of progress of ‘working my way up the ladder’ but that seems to have fizzled out mainly because I am not loud, arrogant, rude, obnoxious, a bitch .... You kinda get my drift.... Why is it people who ARE ALL of the above are the ones who worm their way up the corporate structure? I refuse to become a complete arse just so I can achieve better things BUT unfortunately that’s the way it works in real life.

Not only do I have to deal with that, I also have to deal with the fact that I’ve got myself a new manager who is the biggest cow on the planet. I am so damn sure that she’s racist but doesn’t know it ...... meaning I don’t think she actually realises [it’s so blatantly obvious] that she’s treating me any different to everyone else on the team, as I am the only Paki. BUT that doesn’t really bother me much really ... what really gets on my [‘scuse my French] tits is how pathetically ignorant she is - with her in charge, I won’t have a chance in hell of progressing ......You know a while ago before she became our manager, I actually, believe it or not, had a dream where I was at work and got the sack ..... Guess who the person was that sacked me in front of everyone?? I thought it was hilarious at the time and told my friends about it .......... Is someone trying to tell me something?!!

Let’s just say that I am very glad that I’ve got friends in much higher positions than she is ...

Moving on, I’ve had the house to myself this weekend as my ‘crew’ have gone down to London to stay with my bro and SIL. I had loads of things planned but due to my ever endless bad luck I seem to have, I’ve been in bed all weekend, drugged up with a nasty flu. I’ve been so bored and had been looking forward to a night out yesterday with my mates that had been arranged a while ago but wasn’t meant to be!! I managed to drag my ass out of bed this afternoon to grab some fresh air and by that I mean the rain, had some food, rang my best mate for some goss and finally logged onto here ... thinking what a lazy monkey I’ve been as I haven’t updated my blog for some time.

On a plus note, my ‘crew’ finally found out that my SIL is pregnant!!! YEY!!!!!! Marsallah, she is glowing! My dad and his wife were so happy with the news! I can’t wait now to tell the rest of the family about the pregnancy. It’s been so difficult keeping [pardon the pun] mum about it all!!! The ‘crew’ will be back later tonight with my bro and SIL in tow but I am in no mood for socialising.

Right ... after my disastrous score on the ‘How Paki are you’ test, I was determined to do much better [after taking it bout 4 times!!]. I know it’s JUST a test but still .... so here goes [for the final time]:

Arey, you are 27% Pakistani!
 

Sorry yaar, that's quite low. You're either a Pakistani that's strayed far from your roots, or a non-Pakistani with a little bit of spice in your character. A little bit more effort wouldn't hurt!

How Pakistani are you? (first class number one!)

OMG .... I give up!!!!!!

    Congratulations on the news of the baby!

    I've been in a situation where my boss was racist. It was right after 9/11 and she didn't know I was Muslim until I brought it up and then everything change. So I guess I should be happy that she doesn't hate Indians...? But I got myself out of there asap. I knew I wouldn't get anywhere with her being the manager so I sought out a better job and got it (and rubbed it in her face a bit). I don't know if that's what you'd aim to do now, but it could be a good chance to get out of a place you've been at for awhile. Good luck!

    AKA - Thanks!

    I am looking for another job. I just feel like I'm not really progressing and that I'm totally wasting my skills .... So, hopefully soon, I will find my dream job!!
