Been a while ..
December 18, 2008
It’s been a while since I wrote anything, two things make me less motivated to write
First thing work, I work in the government, and it’s getting depressing more and more lately,
between mistakes left and right , everyone trying to throw blame at others , work that delayed for some reason since 2007 and no one touched it ( and I’m suddenly supposed to do it now ) ..Etc
I did write couple of posts but didn’t post them, some may seem outdated and some maybe posted later
These are some of the posts titles
- Transparency protects us!
- Shia Bloggers, should we care?
- Elitist concerns part Four, Kuwait Stamps
- Rulers Sainthood
The other thing that making me less motivated to write is Kuwait , not the weather but the people , the more you read or interact with people the more you feel this country is like a bus driving to the cliff
And you can’t ignore them, if you don’t’ go to Dewaniya or read paper you will see them in blogs, switching off your TV wouldn’t work, you will see more idiots on your way to work, or at work
People you thought were rational speaking irrational stuff, people talking stupid
Stuff people say that I think is totally stupid
- If we remove National Assembly Kuwait will be back as the Perl of The Gulf
Wrong, 1986 - 1990 is a good proof, it was stable government with many veterans yet it failed to do anything
- We don’t need a Forth Refinery, we have Three
Wrong , we need it badly , the count of Refinery is Three , doesn’t mean they work as normal three , one of them is WAY outdated , and is slated to close at 2010 ( which was pushed back 3 times ) one keep on breaking , and the newest one isn’t in a better shape either
Not only we don’t’ have the capacity to produce Gas for Electricity (right now we are burning Crude for that) but they are having real problems fulfilling local needs right now
(Not to mention they do not meet environmental standard, if you are into that kind of stuff)
Where I know that? Friends working in the refinery, I don’t get news from newspapers, they are bad in Kuwait as I have said many times
- Dubai is brilliant they made everything without depending on oil
No , they didn’t , first they have oil ( abet limited but still ) also they depend on Abu Dhabi oil revenues as well ( and right now they will depend more on them for a bailout , read latest Newsweek )
I think a bit of Venting is good for the soul, I may vent more next week
