Then We Came to the End

I loved Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris. The whole book is written in the plural first person. This is how we are introduced to the characters: We were fractious and overpaid. Our mornings lacked promise. At least those of us who smoked had something to look forward to at ten-fifteen. Most [...]

Is It the Evil Eye or The Begining of the END?

There was a series of unfortunate events that just bombarded me in the past 3 weeks. It’s like I had a lot of bad things piled up waiting to hit me and BOOM they came one after the other. – Started my new job but not really because my old job begged to keep me [...]

The End

(This post was written by the Bob man, comments in bold by 7aki) 7aki has left us for a new job. She has decided that she would rather get paid more and go where her talents will be appreciated then stay here with her friends. Apparently our unconditional love and affection for her and our [...]

Overheard in the Lunch Room 1

My new cubicle is located right next to the lunch room so I get to hear a lot of chatter during the day so I will start a series called: overheard in the lunch room. Way too talkative colleague (AKA the Nanny because she sounds like Nanny Fran):  When I go in the shower, first, [...]

The Guilt of Bieng a Working Mom

I was watching Queen Rania during her discussion at Yale university and a question she was asked really bothered me. Females are always asked this question especially women in big leadership roles and who happen to also be mothers. They are always asked:” How do you balance your work and family and how do you do it as [...]

On Being Busy

The eternal argument between women who stay at home and women who work is who’s busier and who does more work the woman that balances family and career or the  woman who chose her family as a career. To be honest, now that I am staying at home for a year it feels I am much busier [...]

EW..An exchange at 7aki’s office

I am not sure if you remember one of our coworkers that goes by the name Alex , click the link, he is featured in exchange 2 but just to recap he is known to be the cheapest man alive. Oh and he’s kinda dirty too. Bob: I forgot to tell you the best Alex [...]

An Exchange At The 7aki Office

7aki at 10:45 AM : Lunch today? Where? I am hungry. Bob at 1:24 PM: I’m sorry l just got email access. As a Canadian – I think its right that l apologize for not having access to email and knowing that you would have sent an email for lunch. 7aki: Hahaha. I even came [...]

Some Fresh Pickings and Me Freaking Out

Here are some posts from the blog-sphere that caught my eye today: Arab bloggers keep eye on governments – and each other . Mona Eltahawy talks about what Arab bloggers are going through specifically in Egypt, Syria and Saudia Arabia. Pretty good article. Rated R- Some Don’t Like It Hot Who would have thought that [...]

And Then There Were Two

Monday was a very very sad sad day. Words can’t describe the saddness I am feeling right now. Sadness and despair. It will never be the same , life as I know it has ended and a new phase has begun. William and I are sad to announce that Bob no longer works at the 7aki office anymore, [...]

Hallelujah!

So do you remember our very UNtalented office singer? Well she just moved to a different location now and she is miles away. WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO . You don’t understand what a relief this is! Her favorite song was ”Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fergie” so I had to listen to her sing it BADLY everyday sometimes more than once [...]

Cat-astrophe

** A contribution by Bob** Topper didn’t come to work today because………..<spinning the wheel of excuses, where she stops nobody knows>……. “Her cat had to have emergency surgery” The amazing part was nobody knew she had a cat. And Topper talks non-stop about herself so its strange this cat has never come up in conversation. [...]

Typhoid Mary

I am being “affectionately” called Typhoid Mary at work for the past week (or week and a half? I lose track). Why do you ask? Why do my friends at work love me so much? This is how the name came about to stick to me: I have been hacking and coughing for the past [...]
