A few of my gripes with the world....

All,

Due to a really good reception ive had with my blog, i have decided to continue it even if my posts will be sporadic..

So im back in sunny Doha after my holiday and i feel really refreshed. Its weird as I get so many holidays with my job, yet i havent really been on a proper holiday for 2 years since my China travels, its because i been going back to the UK every opportunity i get. Well since things changed in my life it has allowed me to explore of Gods green earth and i am loving it.

I had such an amazing time away, and i have uploaded what i thought were the best 300 or so photos out of like 2000 pictures onto facebook so check them out. I tried to capture the feel of the cities i was in, and the feel of the cities is rarely in the scenery but the people of the country that is why so many of my pictures have random people in!

A couple of things have been bothering me so much, earlier today at work, this guy who will remain anonymous takes his job SUPER seriously, which im sure on paper all companies will love, but when in reality you see the impact people like that have on other people in the company then that desire and commitment will be seen s a detriment as they push people away and don't work in an effective manner, this guy is picking on this woman who is like one of the kindest and gentlist people in the office to the brink of tears, seeing a middle aged women crying due to some punk 30 something year old guys bullying is discussing and you cant get involved because its work related and will look even worse for her, but i just hate bullying and people who take their job super serious, as i always say you work to live and not live to work.

The other thing that has been bothering me was brought up by another friend and fellow blogger who said how he left facebook because of the things he saw on that regarding his friends and that he felt let down by it, and i thought it was nonsense and that you shouldn't be so judgemental and that if people are doing stuff you don't like or don't approve on facebook then you should try speaking to them rather than turning a blind eye, however i have recently been in that situation of where i saw some stuff on someone i had alot of respect for and was shocked to find some information on someone and was quite upset or more let down by that person and not sure what to say to be honest, i havent brought it up as i don't know how to or even if its my place to bring up, but its such a bad feeling having that where your disappointed in someone and im trying not to judge and there could be numerous explanations behind things, so its best not to but its a natural human emotion that is very hard to devoid from....

Anyway other updates in my life, well alot of my friends have recently left Doha, and so I am back to the situation of where i have some random friends like from this part of my life or that but no core- nucleus like i used, however it means i can spend some more time with myself, like reading and updating stuff on my files and photos and little things that i actually love doing, so in a way i am happy, and plus i have exams coming up for my mba so i gota start nailing the work! I been reading up on like if you dont do well what happens, and that will universitys know and they do so its shit me up even more, however inshallah my revision is going well so I wont mess up!
I read this thing the other day that was quite funny and quite true, well it says how like people say its cool to travel on your own and you find yourself etc etc and im one of those people that says all that, well they go its bull, and that really your just sitting in your hotel room wondering which mate to ring back home and txt and stuff, and its so true in my case, well its not really friend but its more like a partner but when you dont have one of them then it becomes a friend lol! The best kinda traveling i think is as a couple, because you get to share the memorable moments together and you also hopefully have similar intrests and so get to see everything you want which isnt always the case with mates!

aneway i best leave now, however inshallah ill write again soon!
