Perils of the job

Working in the field can be both a learning experience, and a step closer to death, as I have found out yesterday. I am faced with different experiences everyday, mostly good.. But when a bad thing happens, w/c is rarely.. IT IS REALLY BAD.. and scary!I was traversing the fields at Jihailah, Barka yesterday, and finding a good spot to set my station, when I felt the heat and decided to rest for a while and sit down just for a few minutes and hydrate myself. As I was about to sit on a cool spot, I heard this low hissing sound and walaaah! There was this snake right in front of me, probably ready to strike cos I think i stepped on it’s tail or something.

So what do you do when you’re in a pit, with a suspected venomous snake?? (I’m assuming it’s venomous cos here in Oman, most species of snakes are of the kind that you don’t wanna mess with). You don’t stay put. You don’t sit still. YOU RUN LIKE HELL and SCREAM at the TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!! Of course I’m exagerating, but then again, I might have done both cos I suddenly found myself inside the vehicle, parked about 500 meters from the spot I was sitting in, in less than 5 seconds.

Ok ok.. I’m not the type of person who runs away from a fight. I always say these words: “If you don’t like me, Bite me. I’d bite you back though bla bla bla”. Ahhhh, that snake don’t like me for sure. And if it bites? I’m supposed to bite it right back??? Dont think so.

Prudence is the better part of valor. So instead of a face off. I opted to take his picture instead. He might have scared the shit out of me there in the field, but now I have his pic. It’s humiliation time nye nye nye!

WTF am I talking about?. I’m the one who got humiliated and humbled drats!

I’m telling you right now. It’s not safe out there. Always be prepared. Always have your camera with you so in case something bad happens to you, you have a picture of the one responsible to show to the police. Hahahahaha!

I’m aware of the fact that some people don’t like me, not because of something I have done to them, but because they don’t don’t like me period.

  • Some people don’t like the way I walk.
  • Some people don’t like the way I talk.
  • Some people don’t like me because I can do a better job than them.
  • Some people don’t like me because other people like me, and I’m popular and well-loved, and for that simple reason, some people hate my guts.
  • Some people don’t like me because my hair is longer than theirs.
  • Some people don’t like me because my skin is a little darker than theirs.

No matter what I do, some people aren’t gonna like me. They will dislike me not for something I did, but because of various jealous reactions and other responses that are so prevalent in human nature. But after looking at these things and admitting them, I must face the fact that an individual dislike me because of something that I’ve done deep down in the past, some personality attributes that I possess, something that I’ve done but have completely forgotten about it; but it was something that aroused the hate response within the individual.

There are lots of people that I myself find difficult to like. I don’t like what they do to me. I don’t like what they say about me and other people. I don’t like their attitude. i don’t like some of the things they are doing. I don’t like some of the things they are not doing.

Bottomline… If they don’t like me, I won’t dislike them in return.. i simply…..

WON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS

After 2 hours working in the field, I decided to invite my Indian helpers to my place to drink, and celebrate my birthday.. Nakakatawa, cos I didn’t understand a word they said (they talk so damn fast), and yet I enjoyed myself.. It’s not often that one celebrates his birthday with people of a different race. After a few rounds of beer, I realized that these people are nothing compared to pinoys when it comes to “inuman”.. 5 bottles of beer and all you can hear are mumbles.. “ar^#)^*^$&^$gj$%#^%&” Hala sige.. Inom pa rin.. I guess pag dating sa alak.. Wala race race. Wala nationality nationality… The only thing that matters is the desire for intoxication…

I should be spending my birthday with fellow pinoys, but i said to myself… “Naaaaaahhhh…. they didn’t invite me on their birthdays, so why would I invite them on mine”

I had a great time.. Not planning on coming back to the office later tonight.. If my boss gets pissed so fuckin what?.. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I can do whatever the hell I want.

Zidane kicks ass!

Zidane had every right to headbutt Materazzi.. The Italian dickwad called Zizou a nigger, a terrorist, and called his mother and sister prostitutes…Zidane before anything else, is a man.. If the same words were said to you, what will you do?

I know what i’ll do.. I’ll rip Materazzi’s head off and shove it up his racist ass.
