It's finally official

We've been laid off.

At least I now know that my safety net is officially removed on the 28th of February. Time to go job hunting. Yay.

Money well-spent?

What does that even MEAN?

Well let me tell you, to me it means a plethora of games I probably will never be able to finish, as well as great cuisine and man on man porn, any money I spend on these is well-spent. To another person it could mean something entirely different.

Now I get it when people say my government could have invested the money used for the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD BREAKING FIREWORKS SHOW to better the country, but let me put the cause and effect of the show in a few simple terms to show why I think they did the right thing.

1) Kuwait was a pioneer in the region by signing its constitution fifty years ago.
2) The fireworks display made thousands of people happy and brought them together for a joyous occasion.
3) People felt proud of their country for a change, a rarity considering all the political turmoil lately.
4) No right-leaning religious organization could stop the festivities.

To me, that's worth the 4 million KD spent on a few fireworks.
