HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE NEW EMPLOYEES

1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.
2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, then analyze the situation:
- If they're counting the bricks, put them in the AccountingDepartment.
- If they're recounting them, put them in Auditing.
- If they've messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.
- If they're arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning.
- If they're throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.
- If some of the bricks are missing, put them in Logistics.
- If they've broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology.
- If they're sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.
- If they are looking for more, put them in Sales.
- If they've already left for the day, put them in Marketing.
- If they're staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.
- If they're talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

Choosing the major of my concentration

I started my MBA in July 2006 , at that time I thought I should concentrate on MIS, I took a couple of courses and then changed my mind and decided to go for general MBA.

Last quarter I took "International Marketing" course, and liked it a lot, and thought to myself that it's a new major and not so many ppl has it so I should go for it. So I went to the admission and changed my concentration to "International Business", but I got a B in that course coz I have a huge problem in memorizing stuff.

This quarter I am taking "International Corporate Finance" and I'm loving, I figured out that I love finance and I'm so good at it. I get it easily and enjoy it. Actually I knew that about myself when I took the "Financial Management" course, but I was told that I shouldn't depend on that coz I took that course with an American Prof. and they told me he was easy on us.

Bottom line: I have no idea what to do :D

Shall I go for International Business which will get me good job opportunities according to the face that it's a new Major in Jordan. Or shall I go for Finance which I really love and easily get, and will also get me relatively good opportunities but unlike the International Business.

Hoffft I'm confused :S

In love with cars

Cars are my passion, I just love them. I enjoy talking about them, reading about them, driving them, even looking at them. I can spend hours and hours discussing cars issues and I never get bored. My biggest joy was when I wanted to buy a car and went looking for one, I had to go alone at the end coz all my friends got really boerd and refused to go with me. It's in my blood. I loooove cars, I just wish they were a little bit cheaper so I can get dozens on my birthday :D.

Full of Happy Thoughts

There is this cool application on facebook that let ppl post their Honest Anonymous Opinions of you, without you knowing who they are.

Thank God I didn't get any disturbing comments so far, it's either that I am so nice and cute that ppl don't have anything but nice things to say to me lol, or that they don't trust this application and are afraid that one day their names will appear and they don't want that to happen so they just post nice things.

It gives you a blue highlighted text if it's a male and a pink one if it's a female.

Today I got the longest blue highlighted comment ever, and guess what?!?! It was about my blog.

This friend seemed really happy that he can deliver his comment anonymously, I have no idea why hehehe..

He said that he enjoyed reading what I wrote but he felt that I have this negative attitude in my writings.

Well, he is right, and I admitted that in my last post.

But I have a disclaimer to make regarding this issue; I have a very optimistic and positive attitude in life, especially the last couple of months :D I just come here when I feel down. It's only that I don't write when I'm feeling good, I donno why! I just don't.

If I was to write about the beautiful things in my life I would've written around 4 posts a day; coz life is full of beautiful things, and I'd rather enjoy these wonderful moments instead of writing about them.

Anyhow, for you my mysterious friend I will start writing nice and full of life posts. I will start to talk about my happiness as much as I talk about the ugly things in my life. I just wish that my words wont fail me.

Title-less

It's been a while since I last wrote anything in here. There is some weird connection between me and my blog, I only come here when I feel down, frustrated, depressed, pissed off, or mad at everything and everyone.
I go through people's blogs and I find them talking about politics, science, social issues, and many other useful things. But I donno why I don't write about any of these subjects.
It's not that these issues don't interest me, but the thing is that I express myself better in speaking than writing. I suck in writing my thoughts down. No mater how much I try; I just suck!
If I was to write about the things that happen to me through out my day, or the thoughts that come to my mind I would have my blog full of interesting posts, and I guess it would be a popular blog lol.
eeeh anyways, I am writing this because I came across a blog that belongs to a sweet girl I know from Uni, I read many of her posts before but didn't know who she was until few days ago, which made me think how small the world is; that you can find people you know everywhere you go even through blogs. How sweet is that :D

Chewing Gum

I just hate the sound of it. Nth gets on my nerves more than anything else when people chew gum with their mouth open :rant: Grrrrrrrrrrr I feel like hitting them in the face. But I can't say anything it would be so rude!

Just a little thought i felt like letting off my chest.

Men VS. Women

These are some interesting funny Quotes said about Men & Women:

Men,

• Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy fat women.


• Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.


• Part of the reason that men seem so much less loving than women is that men's behavior is measured with a feminine ruler.


• When a man talks dirty to a woman, it's sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man, it's $3.95 a minute. (LoooL that's really funny)


• The old theory was "Marry an older man, because they're more mature." But the new theory is: "Men don't mature. Marry a younger one."


• If they can put one man on the moon why can't they put them all there? (Seriously, why? lol)
  
• What's with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?


• Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.
  

Women,

• Women like silent men. They think they're listening.


• Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.
  
• Women get the last word in every argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. (Ain't that true? hehehe)


• They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken. (LooooooL)


• If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.


• Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women.
  
• There are women who do not like to cause suffering to many men at a time, and who prefer to concentrate on one man: These are the faithful women.


• Women always worry about the things that men forget; men always worry about the things women remember.

And the best one is: "Men feel that women somehow drag them down, and women feel that way about men. It's possible that both are right. "

Feminine, In a different way

I've been raised in a family that consists of four boys and one girl; ME.

People always used to - and still - ask me "don't you wish sometimes you had a sister to play with, to talk to!" But I honestly never got that feeling! not even once in my life.

And although my brothers are older than me - the youngest before me is six years older than I am - but I've always enjoyed my life with them.

Mom used to get me lots of dolls and barbies; but I never ever played with them, and when I did; I used to use my barbies as wrestlers when my brothers wouldn't let me play with theirs.

In my childhood days we lived in a building with six apartments; There was Abu Ashraf who had 3 sons. Abu Ziad, 3 sons. Abu Maher, 5 sons. 3ammo Abdelqader, 2 sons and 2 daughters (who were more than 10 years older than me). And then the neighbors next door who were two old couple living by themselves. Not even that I didn't have sisters; but I didn't have any female neighbors.

I grew older and I started having some female friends, but it took me sometime to understand them. Or actually I didn't! No one can ever get females! we are sooooo complicated! I doubt that any female can understand herself! But I could at least find a way to deal with them.

When guys start joking about females I crack up, especially when they talk about their way in driving cars! OMG women suck with cars! whenever I see a car doing something stupid; I know for sure it's a female. And I'm always right.

I was called anti-feminist before; and honestly I am. I don't believe in equality between women and men. It's soooo ridiculous. I mean I do think that women should get all their rights. They should be treated with respect, have the chance to get a decent well-payed job, and stuff like that. But being equal to men is just a headache for both; men and women.

What I am trying to say here is that I've always had this struggle between males and females mentalities! I am a perfect female when it comes to nagging and making up fights out of nothing, but I feel with men when I act like that with them! Poor men!

I am very feminine when it comes to love and romance, but I can understand how it can b frustrating to men. I do believe that there are many intellectual females, but I also believe that at some points we can be so lame!

Despite all that, I love being a female, I really do with all my heart. We are kind, delicate, caring, loving, romantic, socially smart, and most of all men can't live without us.

Closures

I was out with a group of friends yesterday and I was in a really bad mood, apparently it showed!

One of my friends started talking to me; she seems to have a special gift that she can somehow read people; I don't usually take these talks seriously, coz I don't really believe that anyone can read other people's minds or personalities.

But I was really impressed with the things she has said! I was totally shocked that she could read me that easily! Is it that she is sooo good in that, or am I so easy to be read like an open book.

"You act like you fully trust people; but deep inside you don't, you are too afraid to trust anyone cause you've been through bad experiences." OMG, that is sooo true, although I deny it!I really want to trust people, but she is right, deep inside I can't! But I keep on giving people chances, which makes it harder for me. I don't block people; but yet I don't fully trust them.

"You are lost and indecisive." well I guess that is written on my forehead. I am totally lost, my life is a mess. I've always known what I want to do in my life, I've always been in control of everything. But not anymore, and it's killing me.

"You have a broken heart, but you can't stay this way, you need a CLOSURE. or else you won't ever get married." That was the hardest thing I heard last night! I always act like everything is OK. Whenever I get hurt I just turn the page over and move on; or do I? It seems I never move on, I just put things on the shelf. I might not think of them, but they are still there causing me heartache all the time without realising it.

I was out of words last night, she shocked me with a truth I never wanted to believe. How sad is that! I donno if I'm going to turn over the pages again and again, or will I have the courage to close all the past pages in my life that need to be closed!

~sigh~
