Yes, I'm bitchy today, so what?

By Ingesu

Apologies, I was just informed we will stay a year longer than planned and I am, well, let's say, not too happy.

I dooooo love it here, yes I do, but not so much. Really, I will settle for a simple but guilt-free life!

This means, the publication of my bestseller will have to wait!

Dear Ingesu,

Before I leave your not so beloved place, I have a couple of suggestions for your book's title:

'The biggest liers' , 'Money makes the monkey dance',

'Land of the greedy', 'Poor rich people', 'Thank God I am out'.

Abrazos,

Ale

"on the make" - That title has already been taken by a dear Chinese friend who frequesnts the Ramada.

Would be great to read. The last books of similar issues that I read was "Living with a Bedouin"

The story about this western women who married a Arab Bedouin and lived a Bedouin life.

I'm losing track of my own topic. Let me try, I wrote in a moment of rage when I knew we are meant to stay longer in a place that although I like most of the time, it's not my dream. My book (on the make) is about the experiences living in the Middle East. It will have to wait since unless I write it under a pseudonym it can affect a lot of people... got to go, the beauty of Doha's traffic is calling. Have a great day you too!

Wetback - You mean Mexican ?

By Ingesu• 14 Jun 2009 20:17
Ingesu

Just because Mexico acknowledge ON TIME what was going on, it doesn't make it the origin of the pandemia. HMO even congratulated my country for how well it was managed and controlled whereas in other '1st' world countries such control has not been possible. Have you heard it might have been originated in California and ok, a wetback might brought it back. So what? swine flu is in lots of places and if I am not allowed to return, so be it.

Cheers!

Yes, I'm a bit under the wheather, but it must be also because my little one is in Germany with his grandparents while I'm slaving here.

My post came a bit too negative but actually you know it is not so bad. Luckily Doha has also people like you and not just the ones we complaint about. Take care.

and here I am. I realise now you were being bitchy and why. I guess many of us -expat trailing wives feel the same at some point. Glad you understood the irony of my avatar, the difference is that I am not always smiling, that must be your paisana dono... well, ms happy happy happy. You should get together, she seems to love this place and you hate it!

The angry Frida Kahlo seemed more suitable to your bitchy day, Ingesu why did you change?

Popcorn girl and Ignetsu,

Can understand your thoughts- you feel your hands are tied ; you cannot say a word because husband has a good deal at work, things are perhaps a lot better than home financially but as for you no one cares- you cannot take a walk to a shop because the weather does not permit it or there are no sidewalks - the inability to walk is what gets me down here- and I feel no one understands - people tell me why do you want to walk when you can go any where on the car, with AC or heater or whatever- but for me- I feel driving in a car is not driving unless you can feel the fresh breeze on your face ( here you cannot do that for the dust and the noise of traffic)- the other thing is inability to open our windows at home again because of dust.

I miss breathing fresh air and am sick to death of breathing machine purified air.

I sympathise with you Ignetsu- I hope this year passes fast enough for you.

ingesu, i am sorry that you are not happy. Do vent on QL ... :) That will make you better lol.

I met you through this website, and you invited me to your son birthday party although we never met before. It was in the city centre that supposed to be for ladies only. But then on the day of the birthday few guys came up to the other party (i think it was another party apart of your son party). YOu complained to the manager and they got chased away from the venue.

The next day you wrote on QL, and somehow that guy that you complained about also a QL'er ... i think his log in name is Gomez or something like that?

Another year is not that bad, it still there is a light in the end of the tunnel. At least you not being told you have to stay in Doha 'indefenitely'.

Now cheer up my friend ! :) x

maybe the best seller that youve finished writing needs a sequel or a prequel.

Valium can be long lasting.. but pain killer can take away the pain easily but staying happy.... Keep QLying and be happy

Frustration can lead to depression, that is more worst than what you can think... Just have faith and loose yourself on worries......It will pass afterall!!

Ok, enough complaints, we have a wonderful life and one day in the future we will look back and realise it was worthy (I hope).

Got to go, this is turning monologue, what will be of course part of my book, ha ha ha.

That is why I started working but things got worse when I realised how life was beyond the Expat bubble and I got really angry. I have changed jobs so often always hoping things will be different, but it's all the same! At least on the 'bright' side I am free to go whenever I want but I am tied to my family right, so, whatever is good for them should be good for me (sigh!)

yes kumaran right on target & THANKS...don't stop looking at my twinkling eye if it will help lessen frustrations,upset and whatever not good feelings u have ..lolzz

starfaith is right..we should sometimes keep the lil child in us in case there is an emergency such as what you are experiencing now ingesu...

enjoy ur coming holiday my dear ;)

By anonymous• 13 Jun 2009 19:56

I think I know what you mean.

A lot of the time women feel powerless over here as most of us are here for our husbands to do their jobs. We get moved from country to country, we are the ones that sort out schools, houses etc. They just move us around, go to work and they are happy as they have a job they want.

I like Doha, but sometimes, I just want to get the hell out. However, I am told by my husband that he has a great job (I am glad for him), he is not earning great money (but better than we would get in UK or OZ), kids are coping at school.

The thing is; what about us women? We put up with the daily crap of; actually the kids are lonely and don't really like Doha and want to be back what they consider home; (But don't tell Dad)I have a nice job but I know my job back home is better (but don't tell hubby).

It's a really hard thing to get over. Family life is important but really it is the women that pulls it together for the man to survive here.

MY PMT rant over ;-))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I barely have any free time but for not really for hobbies, I am looking forward to the holidays to say bye to the bunch of brats and other colleagues as bitter as me! I'll recommend them QL, seems to be more fun nowadays!

I mean, lots of things here make me turn a blind eye and I am tired of that. Of having a good life while others so obviously have a miserable time here. I know it's the same back home or all over the world, but I never felt so impotent and sad as I do here regarding other people's life. I mean, there is nothing I can do, even if I have tried, and that makes me just so sad.

By Ingesu• 13 Jun 2009 19:25

I am just looking for threads to release my anger! It might be misunderstood I realise now but I cannot modify it!! sorry I am not in that sort of bitchy mood, but in the sort of ANGRY, annoyed!
