Dangerous chicken
January 30th, 2004 byThis is my worklife, honestly.
A man came up to me, a co-worker and goes as such:
Man: “Do you live by yourself?”
Me: thinking: Does he want to give me a new room-mate? I hope not, I have enough as it is “No, I live with my brother”
Man: “Oh I see”
*pause*
Man: “Do you eat out or cook at home?”
Me: “Mostly cook at home I guess”
Man: “Do you want chicken? Whole chicken? To cook?”
And then proceeded to give me two free whole raw zabiha chickens from this farm. Alhamdulilah.
At most offices, you get free coffee. At mine, apparently you get a little more then your contract summarized.
I just can’t wait for next week!

Aww alhamdulilah @ the free chickies!
Maybe you’ll get a lamb next week
This your new job? You like it so far?

Is recieving chicken for free my new job?
No. It’s just a small part of it.
The rest of it entails working in an amazing muslim organization, designing courses for them to help better intellectually educate the community, near and far, through face-to-face and online courses.
I’m their intern/superhero sidekick/coffee addict.
We are looking for a superhero, preferrably with awra covered properly. To apply, please schedule interviews with Sister Owl.

No, I don’t work with Owl I just assign her work randomly. =)

Whahuuuh? Reading these whack comments totally sent all thought out of my head. So I get to interview superheros? W00T!
And the only thing I get at my office is really icky coffee, made by me, and occassionally bowls of mithai that my coworkers actually expect me to polish off. They always seem dissapointed when I can’t reasonably dent them. *dies*

The “Dangerous Chicken” title makes me think of the movie “Chicken Run,” for some reason, which, incidentally, I’ve never seen.
Have a beautiful Eid, Waleed!
