The afternoon meal burns, making it almost impossible to teach. I know I'm over that line, 170, and with temps wickedly hot a twenty minute walk is dangerous. I could get one of them exercise mats and do something inside. We'll see. Next week, Insha'Allah I get my Omani license and then we'll rent a car and I can look around for a mat, what else.
I was thankful for the bottle of Armenian Cognac though it may have contributed to the indigestion. A few small glasses after the evening meal was a nice albeit brief alteration in my solitary confinement. I'm thankful there isn't a daily desire for such lubrications, even beer has become less desirous here, Lord, I gotta get outta here!
Patrick laughed and said I was a lucky man. I expected speeding tickets would choke almost a grand out of me but the call came and the man named Ramadan said I had only two 'flashes' and $52 was my bill. Wow. I will never understand how things work here, it looks like incompetence, and I'm happy if it is, it looks like mercy, and I'm grateful if it is, whatever the case, I shook the man's hand and fled.
The government is going to issue a new law stating if you quit your job you may not return for two years. While the law is aimed at general laborers who are brought over and treated like animals and then escape or abscond, it could also affect professionals and I think this is where the loopholes are found. In any case while I have committed to returning to the inferno, plans to go to Salalah may be in jeopardy. What about just staying here? Lord.
If I swallow anything evil, put your finger down my throat
Next week I am looking at a road trip to Dubai. Dubai is miserable right now but it has the only decent bookstore. The worst thing that could happen to me on the weekends here is having nothing to read. So, a stay of one day? Two days? What else do I need? Have you decided your summer itinerary? Well, I wrote up two scenarios, scenario one it'd be Thailand-US-Nepal, scenario two would be Sri Lanka-Thailand-Nepal. Scenario one will be pricy and I worry about that, not to mention not doing everything I need to do. If I open a bank account and I cannot get a credit card how will I get to Pittsburgh and pick up my stuff? There's no guarantee a bank is going to give me one of those little evil things. Maybe I should get one here, right? Will it be accepted in the states? Why wouldn't it? For crying out loud a visa is a visa, a mastercard is a mastercard and they're both evil. I just need a car to drive, maybe I should buy a car in the states.
