JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

BECAUSE THEY CAN - END OF STORY

More swearing follows.................



Hubs received a phone call, which went like this:-


"Hello, can I please speak to Mr Michael?"

"Speaking"

"Where are you?"

"What do you mean, where am I?"

"Er, I need to know where you are please sir"

"I'm on al Reem island.........in my office! Why do you ask?"

"I'm SoandSo from Mashreq bank"

"And?"

"I've recieved a letter from your ex-employer, which states that you have left the company"

"That's correct"

"Your ex employer has suggested that you intend to leave the UAE, so I have to freeze your accounts & credit cards. That's why I needed to know where you were."


Y'know, the sour bastards - i.e. the fucking-slimy-Leb-ex-employers - just couldn't resist having one last dig. Where did it get them? Nofuckingwhere! Hubs explained to the person calling from the bank that he had joined another company & if they'd care to check, they would see that a recent deposit by his new employer had been made. (Quick glance at the account & yep, the deposit was confirmed). Hubs explained that he was awaiting confirmation of his new visa, but apart from that, his banking would remain 'as per normal'. The bank has asked him to fax through a copy of his visa, as soon as he gets it & told him there certainly wouldn't be a need to freeze his account or credit cards. So that's that - finish, klaar, ghalas.



Hubs' new visa has been issued.......in this emirate. Funny that, considering the pox-riddled cretin the ex-employer refuses to fire, told him 3 & a half years ago it would be impossible. Imposible my arse - he just went out of his way to make life as fucking difficult as possible, because he fucking well could. So, my closing gesture to the company & specific employees who tried their best to make as much trouble as possible, just because Hubs had the audacity to resign, is the picture below.


The words 'swivel' & 'rotate' are applicable to the above graphic.
