Now Thats What I Call Qatar 42: Too much internet!

Hello there,

Been under so much stress recently,Work is starting to really annoy me. I had my annual review and i did ok, was told some good things and some things that need improving,however overall i was consdiered to be performing to my grade, and its weird as I have a set of people who are for me, and a set who are against me with some sitting in the middle and some not having a clue whats going on, I have been told i go on the internet too much, i dont c why internet has become such a huge issue but it has, and its ridiculous, they pay me to do a job if i do that job then whats the problem, if i do the job quicker than others am i not entitled to relax for the remaining time, no i must continue to seek more work. I am not like that you see, I mean i want to do well and i am ambitious there is no denying that, however im not a slave and i refuse to be. If i were i would be in banking where at least the slaves are well paid.

Talking of money, I was thinking about the future and when or if I will return to the UK to work, I mean I sometimes dont c the point, i mean yes family there buts its not like they cant come out here to visit or I go and visit them, there are no taxes here in the middle east, lower crime rate, MUCH higher standard of living, and basically ill be working double the hours (incl. commuting time) in the UK yet earning half the money than I would in the Gulf. That does not add up to me, i mean we work so we can further our lives however I dont c how me going back to UK would make me further my earning growth.

I have so many decisions and dilemas coming up about work and u, its really consuming me. My mother is planning to come in Mid march to stay with me for a few weeks, and I am aiming to speak to her about Shamina, so theres another thing thats on my mind!

Aneway tommorrow i have a another football match and its lookin like ill have to play a key role as there are not many people in, so my fitness and my anxiety will really be put to the test!!

Also its valentines day i cant give too much away however i got a little bit of stuff planned even though im miles away, however i think will celebrate it when were back together next week! Though valentines is a commerical/Christian holiday,
I think like Christmas the message of the holiday is worth celebrating, (for valentines this is shows your loved one how your feel and celebrate the love you have) and (for Christmas i think the whole family getting together for at least one time in the year is a great idea) so taking away any relgigious significance i feel everyone should celebrate it!!

So i was going to talk about sunnis and shias however i dont have time so i cant but i promise at some point in Feb i will!!

for now Adios...
