Report #146: Nasty Arabs & new kitchen

Hello all!

Some nasty Emirati kids on mini motorcycles foamed my car due to national day. I slammed the breaks in an attempt to make one of them go flying into my car. Disappointingly he dodged my car. He would've been hurt since none of them was wearing protection or helmet. U may ask why one would want to hurt a kid? Oh, it's a lot more fun than it sounds! U should try it!

(Oh stop! There's nothing to do in the desert so we take whatever entertainment we can get! Even if it involves hurting small, furry mammals such as Arab children (but I would never hurt an animal, they are real creatures). You should see what they do in Saudi for fun...)

"He can't put your blinds up because he's only a contractor and doesn't work for the landlord." What??? Since when do we have a union here???

Contractors came at 8 PM and started installing my kitchen. They left at 3 AM. It was on a govt holiday in an Arab country. I think that says something about my powers of persuasion. Someone told me there are women who scream and then there's

More contractors are coming tomorrow to finish piping and tiles in kitchen, and put up blackout curtains. Silly me mistakingly took for granted a kitchen should have water...

If anyone has horrible house-moving-contractor story, now would be the time to tell me...
