What is it that actually determines the way in which we measure effort? This has been playing on my mind the past week. I am not certain it can be defined.
If the absolute maximum capacity of someone is 30% in effort levels, should we just except it? We can't possibly change the inherent nature of a person....

Zero!
It has been 2 weeks now since I emailed potential organisations and I have received ZERO.
Not a single acknowledgement of receipt or even a NO THANKS, nothing available.
A few enquiries from friends who work in the region have advised this is quite normal and that responses are usually quite delayed.
Well, they have another fortnight to get back to me. If not, they are off my hit list....for good!

The Plunge!
So, I have finally embarked on real searching for a role in the Middle East.
8 emails sent out. Will I hear back from anyone?

The Irony That Is The Password Hint
It has taken me an entire week to figure out the password for this blog account!
After trying every possible combination, I decided to try the password hint function. What I thought was a relatively simple hint led to hours of responses to no avail.
So much for the password hint!? What the hell was I thinking? I know the answer. I swear I do. I just can't actually figure out what answer I actually typed out when configuring this damned thing!
I finally resorted to emailing Google for assistance but apparently they couldn't verify that I am who I am on this account and that was that!
I decided that it was a sign. It was time to announce a sudden and swift death to Verocious Voice. Time to bury the blog.
However, I woke up slightly troubled this morning at my own inability to memorise a simple damned password and mortified at the thought my brain could not compute my own password hint! I was not going down without a fight!!!!
So I gave it one final shot and a few magic words appeared - password is too short or not enough characters in password (something like that) - and after a couple of attempts, SUCCESS!
Password changed - Affirmative.
Password hint changed - Affirmative.
Keep the blog - Undecided.

The Mammoth Search...
Searching for a specialised role in Digital in the Middle East/Gulf is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Saturday Night Saga
Why is it that when Saturday night hits, there is an expectation that an outing must take place?
Well screw convention and the norm. I refuse to succumb to the social dogma of what is perceived to be the night of drinking and chaos!
I don't want to go out for drinks with you.
I don't want to go out clubbing with you.
I don't want to go bar hopping with you.
I don't want to grab a bite to eat with you.
I don't want to see you.
I don't want to hang out.
I am quite content with my bottle of Pinot and Wolverine on the box.
Your Saturday just might be my Thursday. In other words - PISS OFF!
