54. Salesman ...

I complained to my boss and he increased my salary and promised that my work load will decrease.

There is a saying in Persian that a good perfume should smell good and sell itself, no matter what the salesman is telling you ...

Well in real life that's not going to work ... instead they use a celebrity for tv-add and send Barenaked Ladies to shopping centres to force men to buy a perfume ...

Moral of story: you should shout for your own right ... silence means you are satisfied.

53. Scale ...

As an engineer I have learned 3 things among other stuff:
1. always look for a pattern
2. there is always something not working
3. make the best of the available data

I was wondering why they change kg to lbs scale in the gym every now and then ... I initially thought it has got to do with the days (odd/even) ... then one day I noticed that the scale has changed during the day ... and I thought when it breaks down they replace it ... but once the change was done in less than 10 minutes ...

It took me a whole fucking year ... to realise the scale dial has to sides and you can flip it and read the dial in lbs as well as kg ... I'm loosing it

52. Just 4 BDJ

We were always surprised and couldn't believe what we were hearing when our boss used to complain about his trips ... being told similar stuff by my boss made me draw these conclusion:

A rat doesn't dare to complain about his dull office, boring job and crap weather
But a pig complains about his long holidays, too much drinking and sands in his sandals ...

PS: 52 posts ... blogs anniversary ... not sure being -really rather than virtually- married leaves me enough time to keep up with writing.

51. Pam ...

Combination of elements I have mentioned in earlier posts made me see Borat against my believe that ... you should not laugh at other nation's customs ... though it's a fiction ... still humiliating a country to make people laugh is not a decent way to make money ... but is there any decent way to make money ...

And some scenes were totally Jack Ass style and ridicule rather than humor ...

Anyway me and Borat have something in common ... apart from being hairy ... I was like him so happy to find out that the most famous Canadian celebrity is Pamela Anderson according to my Lonely Plant guide ... it seems Canadians are in love with silicon valley too ...

Now that I am on movies ... let me confess that ... I also watched a screen-camed copy of Bearfest that was horrible as the recorder zipped up his jacket -not to get caught- whenever any one was walking in the screen.

PS1: My 10$ lottery ticket won 5$ ... what I should I call this good luck or bad luck ... the Jackpot was 38Million ... I used my prize money to buy some Irish equipments ... potato peeler and potato masher

PS2: Bad towing (80 dollars) increased my car's repair cost from 10 to 330 dollars ... tow truck invoice says they are not responsible for any damage ... what a Good Friday ... and I won't have my car for a while.
