i wasnt very much pleased when i found out 2 days ago that the company i had to work at for the next 2 weeks would be in sabhan. i've always had bad luck with the places i get, like meena 3bdla or amghara or in the middle of the desert (literally) somewhere off the 7th ring road, so when i heard that i was going to sabhan i felt a little depressed. (for some reason i thought sabhan was very far away)
so today was the first day going to this certain company and i tell you i was very surprised at how close the place was, i mean it might not be that close but the road going there is against the morning traffic so it doesnt feel so far away. but the real surprise came when i actually got there. picture this, a huge huge block of a warehouse with almost no windows on 3 sides and covered with metal." damn" i thought to myself as i was trying to find a parking space, "this place is gonna suck". so after i parked my car and got out and walked towards the door i entered and suddenly found myself inside a modern new york style interior design magazine. this place was, if am not too exaggerating here, the best looking interior of an office building i have ever seen in kuwait, and i have seen a plenty. i couldnt even imagine that kuwaiti companies cared enough to spend so much effort and money on the interior design. i imagined the owner must have an interior designer for a daughter who nagged him on doing this office building the way she wanted. i was so pleased that i even asked for a tour of the building (of which i was ever so abruptly denied) no matters. but i have to admit, the way this place looked cheered me up, i even thought to myself, this is the kinda place i could see myself working in. so after all that try to imagine my surprise, again, at seeing the room where we are going to spend the next 2 weeks in.
GREY! bs. thats it. grey. grey walls, grey ceiling, grey door, grey floor, grey door, no windows, grey table and very uncomfortable grey chairs. me and my colleagues have decided to call it the "interrogation room". i swear bs nagi9 ena a couple of officers come in and start torturing us o yakmil el filim.
now this horror of an image is a pic i found while googleimaging sabhan trying to find a pic that would go well with this post. this painting was done by a syrian artist aptly named "sabhan". so i just thought i would share it with you guys. apparently its art.

If i were you i'd decorate the walls with colored stickies oo ayeeb cushions for the chairs, and make the place my own ;p

loool this post made me laugh, you have this way of telling a story... Anyway that place sounds really cool. I love walking into buildings like that, I'd just stand and stare. I agree with F and Dee, redecorate.
lol now that my friend is...
do not judge a book by it's cover :P
You're so sexist..why not an Interior Designer for a son? Eh?
I'm trying to remember where Sabhan is...
Random q, did you wind up taking the CFA exam? I can't remember if I asked you or not.
Wish you can take some pics! I wanna see that place!
That's so cool! I love when you see a place on the outside looking drab and you go inside and you get shocked by how slick and modern it is. A gray office for two weeks isn't so bad. But if you want you and your buddies can do some "graffiti art" (vandalizing) on the walls to make it look a little more oo-la-la :D
