Bare

She tries so hard to isolate herself and pretend that she’s now immune to this drama. Truth is she is the most vulnerable.
She thinks about other people and how they think and what they think about. If only they knew what she thought about.
She can’t withhold her tears, they barge before she can tell they’re coming.
She hates his guts, what he has done and is still doing to her.
She looks at this mess and knows for a fact that it can not and will not change, yet she holds on to any string of hope that it might change.
She wishes she could dissolve into thousands of pieces, and disappear.

Pigs can fly

So, this extremely well planned case of shop lifting happens in Dubai at one of the most prestigious malls with an estimate of AED 50 Million (about $ 13.5 Million) worth of stolen diamonds from Graff jewelry store. According to eyewitnesses, security cameras and the police, the whole operation did not take more than one minute and 45 seconds.
It took the police three whole minutes to get to the scene.
A lot of “factors” are to be considered I’m sure, and I’m also sure that I don’t have the experience nor the education to know and consider all of them… but those three people who did this, obviously thought it through and did their research.
They could have an associate working at the mall that helped facilitate the whole stealing process, even if they hadn’t, I’m assuming it would’ve all been the same.
Two Audi cars crash into the mall’s glass entrance and park in front of the store, three individuals come out of the cars, steal the jewelry, go back into the cars and drive out of the mall.
I have a few questions: Why is the entrance to the mall made of breakable glass? Why isn’t there constant security attendance by each and every jewelry store? Why did it take the police three whole minutes to get to the scene? Why didn’t the store have any security measures what so ever that could’ve prevented or might’ve cut the losses of this whole thing? Why wasn’t there proper security or decent security measures? Why was the “available” security unarmed, untrained and so not ready for this?! And why am I not surprised that they weren’t!!??
Get this, a proposed solution that came from the Dubai Chief of Police is to arm UAE National security guards.
Is there such a thing as UAE National security guards?

It

So I finally started working.
A prestigious organization, fancy title, very good pay, supportive line manager, empowering senior management, lots of responsibilities, tons of leadership required, and… a worm.
By the worm I mean a sleazy disgusting person who is having the naked dream… only now it’s for real, and only now it’s on daily basis.
This worm thinks that people actually listen to what it says or when it talks, it thinks that its opinion matters, it thinks that it matters, it thinks that everything would fall apart if it wasn’t for it. Wrong…
So I join this organization, and I get a list of the things I’m to be responsible for, plus the more important things this worm used to do. Worm got stripped off of all its clothes! Haha!
Every single day, the worm comes in and greets with the biggest fakest smile… what this worm doesn’t know is that I’m on to it, I have been bitten by this kind of worm before, NOT going to happen again, not to me.
