  • Business is business

    When I read Qussa’s post about how women are treated when dealing with men in Lebanon in different places, I remembered a story  that happened with me around 2 years ago when I was still in college and had just started freelancing.

    Now I know this is much less serious than the issues tackled in the article, but it still shows how women are often badly treated in the workplace simply based on their sex and not on their potential. I refuse to believe as many might say that this is human nature and that a woman will always be judged on her appearance and not on her work. I hope this aspect will change with time…

    Don”t worry I don”t get the way some people think either! I wonder if it”s our profession that”s always underestimated, or if this is just the way Lebanese downlond free games do business. I also wonder why I still deal with the likes of her!! Need to draw a line at human rights infringements of the sort…

    How much information can the human brain simultaneously carry? I wish there was some kind of external hard disk for our brains… Lately I have so much on my mind that my short term memory is not exceeding 3 seconds! Oh vacation where are you?

    Always think twice of the consequences before answering! Well what can I say, freelancing is a tough teacher 😀 Specially regarding fiscal issues. What is sure is that I will never accept barter again. I’m sure them phoenicians invented money for a very necessary reason!

    (P.S. I know someone who’d take the chicken! ;))

    Sometimes being a designer can be very enriching: we work on the design of books about science, technology, history, and thus we learn a lot. But the REAL torture is actually having to work on a book about vacation and relaxation places while you’re stuck home on a friday night. The visuals of SPA, and COTTAGES, and and.. can actually have a damaging impact on your mental health. I was this close of jumping from the balcony. This only means one thing: I am going to need a real vacation real soon!
