2nd Rant Today! Yipee!

So i finally lugged myself up there, to continue numbering.
The girl who started with us, and who i didn't mind, came up to sit and help out, even though she's no longer obligated now that she excused herself from this particular course.
You see, one of the reasons that i am left to get everything done in terms of numbering is becuase we use nail polish materials, ink, and acetone. That stuff stinks. Gets in your nostrils and makes you get a headache. She's pregnant, and he's asthmatic (and not the kind we all got as kids :p).

So whatever. She came, she talked her head off, i grunted, make noises when i had to, and continued to silently sing along with my mp3 player.

Then i realized i overstayed my alloted time again, and realized that it would only be fair (:D) that Clueless does the same.

So i called him.

Told him that besides having to count materials and bagging them, he now has to go over my numbering with the nail polish sealer.

I am fully aware that i just said he was asthmatic, and that i do the nail polish bit becuase they can't, but he asked for it when he said he wasn't going to be here tomorrow or the day after, becuase they're going to Failaka.

'I'm sorry, what? Why are you going? Whose going?'
He said that a few guys are going, none of them archeologists, and none of them, so far at least, i am aware that they are allowed to go for Tarqeeb (basically scouting the fenced area to see if there were any problems). But, it turns out, not surprisingly ofcourse, that they're not going there for tarqeeb, but instead 'chithee' 'mako shughul' 'wanasa'.

Oh, HELL no.

Now, i'm not saying i am supposed to go with them, becuase technically i'm not (it's not an excavation), but still. That's messed up. And Clueless gets to go, just for being a guy, even though we all know, including himself, that he won't be able to take the dust, the heat, and the challenges that will arise. But, he gets to go. For fun. They can go and get burned (yi7targoun :p), but he gets to go? Oh, how he's going to get grilled as to what they did. If i don't hear 'tarqeeb' in his answer, i'm throwing something... at Purple Elephant.
Just becuase there is always an excuse to hate her.

However, to be fair, they are all staying in thier KNM house there. But, there is a seperate wing. And although i got Big Boss Man to score me a house in the Village there, i am not throwing a shit fit becuase this scenario doesn't warrant one.

So,
i will continue to work upstairs alone, and will continue to come up with more ways to work that boy. Except he's clueless. But that's ok, becuase you can't get mad at people who mean well, but just can't get there.

Hmm...
i've already mentioned how i think this place might be sexist, and i don't know if i can count the above incident as proof.

MAN, i'm grouchy when i'm lacking sleep!

I promise to get my eight hours tonight inshallah :D

until the next time, pigeons,
-me.
