I'm having one of those days
 

You know when you just think 'What the hell am I doing here?'.

You probably have a chemical imbalance in your brain. Take a multi vitamin.

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

oh don't worry, I have them at least once a week.

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

can you book yourself a Sanity Break soon?

I think I have a Hate Dubai Day every couple of weeks now, and that's after being here for 18 months (on and off!). I think it's healthy, tbh... it means you've still got your feet on the ground.

Hang in there!

If you are in your mid or late 20s, it is normal, don't worry. The good thing is, this feeling won't last longer :)

Check out the GCC residents only rates at some of the hotels for the summer - there are some really good rates available. They've certainly made us smile:thumbup:

what you need is a good shag.

Ozone Park- very helpful- thanks very much...twat....

Hello Kitty- good to hear this feeling doesn't go away! :blink::(

thanks all- I got back from the UK 3 weeks ago so have just come back from holiday- I think thats when I feel lowest as miss London soo much, and generally just get pissed off to be here.

I keep telling myself think of the money, I need to stay here til next April at the earliest for it to be tax free and I do want to save a house deposit whilst here to make it worth being here so I guess its get your head down and just get on with it, don't let the every day sh*t get you down etc. >>slapping myself around the face and trying to pull myself together<<

Shikra- I'm in my early 30's not sure why age actually makes any difference though? If you don't like it here you don't like it- doesn't matter about your age?

Mr Booty- you are very probably right- it is a dry country after all! :thumbdown:

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

yes drink to get throught it;)

someone told me i'd be drinking a hell of a lot before I left here and speaking pigeon english and how right they were. I don't think of them as bad days - just interesting days;)

meet a mate and have a laugh - you'll be alright.

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

Naaah, the age matters :fingerscrossed:

You are in early 30s, I said you might be in your late 20s, meaning my guess was right ;)

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

How does the age matter, am interested to know

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

Kittycat, we must be the same age!

Being fair, HDDs get less marked as time goes on - I think you develop a nonchalant shrug and just dismiss whatever's happened as another facet to the wonderful world of Dubai. I also vent by recounting the hilarity on my Facebook status. One of these days, I think I should retrieve them all and compile a book!

It's more tragic comedy than anger.

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

Grace, let me ask you, do you think the age has no affect on your emotions? :cool:

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

When you compile the book, do remember to CC me while sending to others ;)

Re: I'm having one of those days
 

No I don't, our emotions/feelings are a part of our own individual personality, i do believe the way you react to your emotions/feelings does change, its called maturity.

You either like the middle east or you don't has nothing to do with age.
