Job Interview?

Today I had a job interview, or so I thought! I had applied for a job through an ad and they contacted me to set an interview.
I went and searched for the company online and found their webpage, looking through the page I understood that this is not exactly what I thought, since it was all about how to help to set up a business.
Ok, never mind, apparently they have a job opening since they had put an ad I thought!

Weeeeeeeeeeell....

I had an appoinment at 11 pm, I was there quite early, and saw alot of people there too for interview, kind of strange, but still, ok, I'll go with it. It seemed as thought they had a mass interview over there.
So, first I sat and waited in the lobby for around 40 min (luckily I had a book with me), then they called me and said I can come upstairs and wait there, sure I'll do that too. I waited for another 40 something minutes there in a small room filled with other people.
Finally I was called in and it turns out......

It was a HUMAN RESOURCE company!! They did not have a job vacancy, but if you paid 150 Dhs for membership they would send your CV to other companys and so.
So I took my stuff and left promising I would come back to pay.....hm...no, I'm not going back!

It still was a good experience, and since I had a feeling that something is not right here I wasn't angry either. I just wish they would have said in the ad what it was all about, but I guess things doesn't work that way here I better start getting use to it.

And to think, I had the shittiest night ever, couldn't sleep, when I finally fell asleep I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep and I fell really shitty. I then woke up around 7 to go and take a shower and make myself pretty for the interview, LOL.

Anyhow, it was a good experince still ;)

P.S. Today I miss the quitness of the streets at night in Sweden so increadibly much, especially the road beside my parents where the bus stop is, the darkness in the night, the cold, the rain, the emptyness, just me and the road.

Baby, I know exactly how you feel! As you know I've been there myself (not in Dubai but elsewhere), done that, felt that! And even though it might sound crazy to most I am glad that you are going through all these! And you know why! ;)
