Just an update

It could be the onset of Ramadan or it could be all the turmoil happening with my work but I have been feeling a bit lethargic when it came to updating my not one but four blogs. Whatever it is, I decided the best cure for it is just to sit and force myself to type something down and post it.

Last Tuesday was my birthday. I got presents from my wife which include a humongous cheesecake that I am still struggling to finish off a week later. My mother and father called me to wish me Happy Birthday and I got text messages from my siblings. And my niece parroted off a happy birthday to me as well which was kind of nice. The best wish came from my mother in law who sang me a happy birthday song and I did not realize it was her until she finished and started talking to me. Her English was just BEEYOOTEEFOOL.

Whats happening at work is pretty complicated so I am just going to touch on it a little bit. It seems that the contracts I am currently on are not fair or up to standard so I maybe getting a new contract sometime soon which would mean better pay. And when I say sometime soon it could be next week or next month or even next year. These people are not well known for their sense of urgency when it comes to dealing out more money to their employees. Still my coworkers are threatening to strike and I have already said yes. What gets my goat is that they just hired some new staff this month and they are already on this new contract which means us on the old one who have been here for a year now are getting less pay than these new people who get penalty rates as well which is something that we don't get either.

Anyways hopefully I will hear something positive by the end of this week. I am gonna go work on that cheesecake a bit more.
