Sinusoid Mirage

Good morning friends and lovers. (Not nearly enough of you are my lovers if you ask me. I got plenty of friends) I had a kind of off and on intense evening last night. But I am not going to get into it on here. I am not a fan of the content. But I had a good talk with that girl Jaime. Though I have never had a bad one. I make her laugh. She makes me funny, so we will get along just fine. I sold a lot of wine yesterday. I was on this kick. My boss gave me a challenge. There has been this Cabernet Merlot sitting in our store. It is by Inniskillin. It is about thirty bucks for a 750ml. So Not cheap. But it hasn't been selling. She gave the store a contest, whover the sells the most in the next week will win a bottle of equal value in the store. Haha. I sold more than half the stock of it last night. Soo no one can beat me. I don't know if I have told you all about my friend Asmaa. Well, she works at the McDonald's right next to where I work. I am there about twice a day when I am working. Before you all get disgusted with me. I go for coffee. Because you all know how much I am a caffeine addict. I am caffeinating myself as we speak.

Anyways. So for months, I see this women about twice a day for five days a week. Well she came into my store yesterday for once. I actually talked to her for about half an hour or so. I got into her religion and everything. She believes in the teachings of the Koran. She is Islamic. Funny thing is, she wasn't raised in it. She converted later in life. She said her parents are very "modern". Her words. Anyways. She was born in Arabia. Move to Pakistan at some point in her life. I think maybe her husband was the one moving her around. She was betrothed to the man she is with when she was seventeen. But both her parents are physicians. Her father is the personal physician of the king of Arabia. She told me the King's name. But I forget. I asked her some questions about the middle east to clear up what is just western rumour and what is true about it. Now don't get me wrong. This women is lighthearted and funny and great. She doesn't get offended by me at all. In fact I think she finds me very refreshing. We really enjoy each others campany.

But I asked her if it was true that you could get beheaded for masturbating there. She told me that that wasn't true. But that premarital sex and cheating on your spouse was punishable by beheading. Which I was still blown away. Haha. I was all like "You know how many people here would be headless!" Haha. She said she knew. She said people there do it anyway. They are just good at not getting caught because of the intense penalty. Her husband is apperently kind of an abusive fuck. Which doesn't surprise me. I saw him yell at her once just for saying hi to me. As she sais, "our men are very possessive". She has a masters degree in textiles and something to do with designing ceramics. She got that degree in Pakistan. But her husband dragged her to this country where there is no market for it. So here is a well educated, bright, intelligent woman, working at McDonald's because her husband made her come here. She told me she hates it here. She was rich back home.

Kind of breaks our common coneptions that the people hate where they live out there that our news sometimes tries to teach us. We are trying to save them from their crappy lifestyle. Though I am sure she isn't the standard. But it was refreshing to have someone hate Canada and love the middle east. Haha. This all came up when she told me I should quit smoking. It is bad for me. I said I don't want to live until i am 75. She replied with "I want to be dead in three years." That is how we got into this kind of personal discussion. Haha. I told her I was raised Christian. (surprise surprise) I am sure that was a shock to her. But that I am not religious at all and generally think religion is bullshit and I think it is causing a lot of the conflicts in the world. She takes with a grain of salt. Which is how I should be taken. I told her the one positive thing about her country that she should take full advantage of, is the fact that divorce is legal. She said that she knew and had seriously sontemplated it. I hope she does. It made me sad to meet such an intelligent woman working at a shittier job then me.

With shittier pay. But far more educated. I am sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I am whiter than her and don't wear what people think is "a rediculous shawl." I also asked her if she encountered much racism here in Canada. I didn't think she would have. But I was incredibly wrong. She told me she faces a hell of a lot of it. not even small amounts. She told me she almost encounteres it daily. She has had people refuse to let her serve them at McDonald's before. I told her I was absolutely ashamed of my countrymen for their actions. That I was shocked because all the people I hang out with aren't ignorant fucks like that. Haha. After I said that she told "you swear too much." Haha. I said that I swear just enough. She told me she needed a better job and I told her we were hiring and that we could probably get her a job. But drinking booze is against her religion and it is requirement to get the job. You have to drink wine. I told her to renounce her Saviour and come back to me. Then she rushed out to finish getting her groceries before her husband came looking for her.

Very very possessive.So I think next time I see her, I am going to find out if sahe has e-mail or anything. Someway to keep in contact with her. But I would have to figure out how to be her friend without her husband knowing. Because if your friends have cocks, she is an evil cheating bitch apperently. Also. If she seriously wants to consider divorce, I told her I would help her with that since her husband keeps such a close eye on her. She seems very unhappy indeed. It makes me sad. Because she is a very kind good-hearted woman. I think it is why we have always clicked. She has always taken over serving me if anyone else would get to me first. She knows how to make my coffee. We even have a system. I stand outside the window of the McDonald's, light up a cigarette. Then she knows I am coming in for a coffee when I am done it and brews a fresh pot. by the time my smoke is done, the coffee is ready. Bewing a regular at a huge chain I never thought would pay off in anyway. But it has. I also want to get contact information from her, because she won't be there much longer. She hates it and wants a better job. Wow I just pretty much made a whole post about Asmaa. Oh and another thing. She has never once called me by my name. Apperently it is not allowed when you are married. She isn't allowed to be familiar enough with another male to call him by his first name. So it is strange. Well. I think I am done sharing with you all for yet another day. As always the experience was lovely. Have a great day. Cheers!
