Short rant #1: Doesn’t it just suck when your boss calls you to work out of the blue on your friggin weekend, so you can clean up the dirty mess he made?
It particularly sucks when you slept at 4 am the night before and barely had 4 hours of sleep! Death to all bosses!
Lengthy rant #2: I was never a great poker player. Not because I didn’t know the rules or couldn’t play poker, but it was my face. You see, I’m such a bad liar. I simply suck at lying. You can always see right through me. My face just said it all, I just can’t keep a straight face!
Whenever I lie, a guilty look immediately emerges on my face, like I might as well just roll my eyes and whistle a random guilty tune. Talk about trying to pull a sickie, oh boy! I always, always, get caught whenever I call in sick. I either call like there’s nothing wrong in the world, or I overdo it and start coughing like an old man who’s about to die from a deadly disease.
So back to poker. Bottom line is I always lost and I lost so many precious things, like the day I lost my watch because I thought I was able to salvage the loss.
So then I tried reverse psychology! Oh yeah! I started putting on a frown whenever I got good cards and vice versa. But even that didn’t work for too long, I got caught again! So my opponents got me all figured out, because I only had two looks on my face: the standard look that they previously understood and the new not-very-deceptive look. So reverse psychology didn’t really work and totally backfired on my face.
Then it hit me. Yes, it was way behind schedule, but better late than never. I just wasn’t meant to play poker! So I settled for Trix, Tarneeb, and anything else I wouldn’t lose my money on. That all got me thinking of an old song I can’t remember … well ok now that I googled some of its lyrics, it’s The Gambler for Kenny Rogers and in one very relevant part of the song, the gambler talks to him and says: “Son, Ive made a life out of readin’ peoples faces and knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes”. And in another part he says: “if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right”. Isn’t that just so right?

working on the weekend SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS
especially if it was not planned…you should demand a weekday off

I meant Bosses
wa*** ba3id!
lol, maybe I should’ve used that technique!
yeah, bosses suck!
this is helarious! i can be a good liar whosane so whenever you need advice let me know
1: when you are called on weekends and you don’t want to go, say you are out of town! Abu Dhabi or whatever, pick the furthest emirate :)! very simple then keep saying “can’t hear you the line is breaking if you need time to think about what you are going to reply”.. creative?!
2: cards!! love it.. i don’t know how to play poker but i play trix and tarneeb (prefer trix) it doesn’t need as much bluffing but here’s the trick.. keep talking, simple right? while you are talking you are thinking of sth else so your face expressions will be related to that thing you are talking about and not your cards!!
tell me if it works, good luck!
the “lier face” i am the same.. i cant lie.. it all shows on my face
wow! I’m impressed. You’re such a good liar! (in a good way). If I have any questions, I know who to contact
it sucks doesn’t it
… 1000 mabrook on your wedding Mrs!
Do let us know how it went
انه المدير يجيبك يوم عطلة يعني ممكن امشيها
اما المشكلة لما يكون المدير مش عارف الخمسة من الطمسة و لو شو ما عمل بطلع هو ببياض الوجه و بتطلع انت مقصر
the best way (and i feel guilty here) to decieve, is not to tell a lie, see i never was able to finish a lie… but i decieve wonderfully
deception is different, and it is an art
here is how it goes:
does my voice sound normal? i just drank a cup of tea this morning, they say it smoothes the nose block…
- who sane, r u not coming to work?
- no not today
- why whats wrong
- u know that virus that hit dubai, the flu?
- u caught that?!
- why did u not catch it?
- fal alla wala falak, u sound fine man
- well thank you
- salamtak yakhoy
Voila, not a single lie
ofcourse u can be as dramatic as u wish
