Two drops of news

Lets make this quick shall we, cuz I really have to go to bed soon before I crash on my keyboard and wake up tomorrow morning with the F7 ket key stamped onto my forehead. Hmm.. I seem to have gone off track already. Ok, first off we got an additional satellite channel installed today at our house in preperation for the upcoming football world cup. The word 'Yippeee' comes to mind, shortly followed by "Kayayyaye"; interpret that as you will. What ticked me off however, is that the whole schbang for only one month of subscritption to said channel cost us 1060 Qatari Riyal which is 353 dollars. Thats ridiculous, I mean thats like blatantly robbing people of money knowing their passion for a sport. I was disgusted, not to mention that I now owe my dad a significant chunk of my first salary. I could have paid for this myself, but then who would be walkign the streets of Doha dressed like a marketing pimp? Exactly, no one. Its much better for all of us that I wear my pimpalicious suits and watch football on the TV, thereby protecting the general society from serious harm, which incidentally would be brought upon them by me if I didn't get to watch the world cup.

The second thing I want to tell you about (and yes, I realise that this news falls in the same vein as the other eighteen times I have updated you on such stuff,) is that I begin my job tomorrow officially. I mean, all the paperwork is done, the residence permit has been issued, my computer and desk are on the way, its official. Official enough that they will have to give me a month's notice before firing my ass, officialy enough that I smell the cash. So, yeah. Its a weight off my shoulders. Now, I'm just looking forward to some sleep. Shabba Khayr.
