It’s Sunday. It’s a beautiful day outside. It’s Labor Day.

Bypassing various invitations to go to Aqaba, trekking in Wadi Mujib and bbq-ing in Jerash.

It’s 12:32pm and I just got home from the office.

It’s labor day and I’ve just finished a 26-hour shift.

In the past day I’ve seen the Sun set, the moon rise and then the Sun rise again, all from my office window.

It’s 12:33pm now.

I’m going to salvage this day…

…With sleep

Beautiful, wonderful sleep.

    mabrook Nas the new job.
    what is your job?
    what was keeping you so focus so long?

    let me take 3 guesses: ministry of planning? or a non-profit? or a management consulting company?

    I can’t imagine anything to keep you up so long except for developmental project for Jordan. is it?
