Why am I the only person in the universe who has to pay for his foolishness instantly?

Starting a fight with a Taxi driver and putting him in a headlock and giving him two sissy punches in the chest in the middle of the street over 5 EGPs, in a matter of few hours, costs me 178 EGPs*!

While in headlock the driver decided to pull me from my right sleeve. The fabric of the shirt decided that it had enough.

I was left looking like an ass hole, both for attacking the Taxi driver and how I walked away red faced with a torn shirt.

You see I am a doctor and this sort of behaviour should get me suspended or ruin my career.

I will stop going to work this week, so as to sort myself out.

The following was never published I wrote it back in 2005. I thought I will finish it, but I never did. I think it needs to see the light.

I always tried not to reveal a lot about myself on this blog. But I think this is no longer important. Mohammed Sameer tagged me, I have no choice but to get it all out in the open.

I had to keep the work's LCD projector for two days with me. Watched Taxi Driver with the pink dragon, the Waragi master and the Wesnothian knight. As usual I had to repay my REM debt during the film. But I have a general idea what the film was about.

Yesterday, I was lucky again and had to keep the projector with me. I watched another film, meet the fockers, it was great and everything but...

I displayed a slideshow with the LCD projector of some photos I have. It was a totally different experience.

Today, I decided that I will finish something related to work. Something really important that I suck at*. That I am supposed to have ready by tomorrow morning. So as usual I like keeping my ass warm, watch a movie, do some reading, checking my mail, try out all VOIP applications and did nothing related to the work I should do. I even didn't bother to bring the file from the car downstairs.

Finally, at almost 3am, I decided to get the job done. Only to discover that I left the file at work. How nice.

* "Something really important that I suck at" seems to be the fatal recipe for severe damaging procrastination. I need help!

These holidays, made me aware of how I am totally out of sync with the outside world. I wake up at 12pm to discover that they hanged Saddam. I thought that he was still on trial!

While walking in the streets tonight; I find them deserted, with a sudden drop in population density. More that what is common for Eid; to discover by a phone call, that was probably annoying to the other end, that there is an Ahly vs. Zamalek match. Best thing is that my visit to some TV-glued relatives was brief as I didn't need to waste their football match.

These days, I talk alot about myself and my work. I am sure, I am now trained, after months of sensory deprivation, to think that me and my work are the center of the universe. I would like to apologize for all the people who had to suffer and listen to my narcissistic stories, and which them Happy Eid and a Happy New year.
