Modern slavery
Just another example of modern slavery… I stood there for a whole minute not believing what i had just seen! The woman left the car forgetting about the maid. When I saw the man who was driving making signs to her that she forgot something, I directly thought it was a suitcase, until I saw the maid hop out the trunk, and the woman laughing that she forgot her.

ATM's and I
I have a pretty bad history (and luck) with ATMs. Today was the pinnacle. I went to three ATMs in a row, at a time where I badly needed money to pay for the gasoline, otherwise my car would stop in place and I would be late to the (going-to-be-boring) meeting, and not one was working properly, and I don’t think there were other ATMs in the region. Hope you have a lovely day for a change! 😀

Barter: the return.
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! ;))

Will you marry me?
The marriage proposal. An eternal dilemma. Is the future husband supposed to stick to the classical-get-down-on-your-knee-prince-charming- proposal ? or should he try something creative and new. I only know one thing: in our materialistic society, the more it costs, the more effective it will be! So good luck to all you guys out there, start saving money from the day you are born.

Why I love working freelance!
Now you can see why I absolutely love working freelance with (a portion of) lebanese clients. Total professionalism, total awareness of market prices… I’ve tried all ways to get fair offers compared to the amount of work. Let’s say it seldom happens !
