The journey...Jan 5-Jan 10, 2003
Jan. 5, 2003
I hate my job! I have put up with this school's bullshit for a month now and now they are saying, just out of the blue, that my salary is too high. They want to lower it. I told J--- that I objected highly to this as I was hired for a certain amount. She gave me this sob story about how I was hired by the other school and my salary was set by them, but my point is, they should have told me otherwise when I started that it would be different--not wait until payday has come & gone (w/0 pay!) to tell me this! I am very upset...
Jan 10, 2003
The weather here in Winter is much colder than I expected. But, when the sun shines during the day, it is almost paradise.
I love to see the sea in the morning. Briefly, as I pass by on the bus in the morning on my way to the school, I greet silently my new friend, the Mediterranean sea. We smile together upon sighting each other, the sea and I. Some days, the sea feels the sadness w/in me, and splashes upon the rocks in mourning for me and my invisible tears. It makes me sad to see the orange cloud of pollution rising up over the water, and I feel helpless to do anything about it.
Karim is everything to me. I feel as though I have merged my soul with his. I often feel ridiculous as I follow him everywhere. It is hard for me to be away from him. His new job has him starting night shift so we won't see each other from 10:00pm till 3:30 the next day--every day. This is going to kill me! I will miss him...I hope night shift will be short and they will put him back on days! I love this man more than I could ever write or say, or sing about. There is no possible way to explain my heart!
