When she calls me “mojremah”
So, I go to work today, with an exceptional good mood! *hope it stays like that* and sat on my tiny table, checking my emails and sending faxes. Of course the blog needs to be checked aaaaaand DONE!
No problemo! The point of this post boys & girls is to prove that there is no such thing as “being professional” at work or leaving your emotions at home; My mother (who works in the same company) walks up to me and goes like:
Mummy: “Pls take this girl to the bank downstairs she needs to open an account”
Chika: ” Why should I take her! can’t she go by herself! It is just opening an account, no was6a required!”
Mummy: “But you know people there and they would do it quicker, yalla 7abebti!”
Chika: ” And what would I tell my boss! Would you inform him.”
Mummy: ” No need, I will inform HR Manager”
Chika: ” You know this guy won’t do anything if Big Boss asks about me so you go take permission first”
Mummy: ” Khalas, mesh 3ayza 7aga mennek efft!
That is when she turns to another girl and goes like: “Benty mogremah! Ya rabbi!” I go like ” Ok, ok, let her come but everytime I see this girl she doesn’t even bother to put a crappy smile on her face or say hi, so tell her to have manners next time she sees me!” I am pissed off at this moment because I do not like helping people who are mean to me…
I took her to the bank, She got her papers done and she actually smiled to me! Well, THAT MADE MY DAY SISTER!
Lessons to be learnt:
1. Do not work with your parents
2. Do not enclose your realtions with people so they won’t start asking you for favors
3. Stay at home and not work
Leave you with “Beautiful Day”

Umm, do you think you would get to work in that company if you were not her daughter :)?
July 31st, 2007 at
In fact yes I would. She has been with her boss who is also my boss for 10 years. I used to visit her at her old company and he would call me in and talk to me about college o work and he goes like enshallah when y ou graduate you will join us which is what happened.
It was on one day, during a break from a job i just started that morning- I went to her company and was sobbing about how terrible this job was and that i wasn’t feeling it when he saw me and called me in his office: “Ha shloonich o shloon shegel.. blahblah bla, Why don’t you come!” I went like ok man! From there I managed to get where i am now.
So yes, it’s my effort bas her ma3aref :P
