الفتنة نائمة؛ لعن الله من أيقظها
عن المغيرة بن شعبة مرفوعا (كان ينهى عن قيل وقال وإضاعة المال، وكثرة السؤال وفي لفظ إن الله كره لكم ذلك) متفق عليه.
على الرغم من استيائي مما نُقل وممن نَقل، إلا أنني أهيب بنفسي عن الخوض في هذه السفاسف.

The Damned Effect of a Psycho
I’ve put on my I’m-so-depressed sneakers and worn a pair of my feeling-down set of jeans for the God-knows time since I moved to this department. You know that I don’t respect jeans and sneakers for work, don’t you? Having said that, I’m not into the so-made-up look as well. You know that I’m a feminine minimalist, don’t you? Gosh, how I hate Lebanese for ruining the Arabs’ sense of fashion and changing them into clowns, rather, whores. Anyhow, it’s about my Syrian, not Lebanese, boss with an American passport with a monthly paycheck worth of all of the department’s staff together. I heard that he received 80000 Saudi Riyals six years ago, God knows, how much he gets now. Anyways, it was not about his salary, you know, it’s about how miserable I’m at this department.
Yesterday, I got a compliment on my I’m-so-depressed sneakers and feeling-down pair of jeans from Mercy. You know her, the tomboy from ORA? I sarcastically replied that I'm getting inspired by your sense of fashion. Everybody laughed at this joke including Mercy. Oh dear, I should stop talking about it, I know.
This is part of a letter that I sent to Omar, my imaginary soulmate.

حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
قال تعالى: "ولا يجرمنكم شنآن قوم على ألا تعدلوا، اعدلوا هو أقرب للتقوى". إن كنت كبيراً، فالله أكبر. الله أكبر، هو حسبي وهو نعم الوكيل سبحانه.
مرسلته،
موظفة!

Justice: As Defined by Man of Principles
Boss,
I'm writing this letter to tell you how I feel about your attitudes lately.
That you don't take the initiative to recommend me for a promotion is something that, although I don't understand, could live with. But that you refuse to pass my application for an announced competition and block me from having an equal opportunity with my peers is something that I cannot understand or respect.
When you decide to have a weekly meeting, and suggest that some of those meetings could be utilized for educational activities, I think you'll appreciate it when your staff respond with suggestions. But when I offer to speak about a tool that people in our field cannot live without, that none of my colleaues have any knowledge about, and you say it is not a departmental activity, and it's irrelevant to our work, this is something I cannot understand. Especially that you yourself keep giving lectures in a field that you're not a specialist in, the department has nothing to do with, and the organization we work for has a standing department for. Was the secretary's presentation about how to process leaves applications relevant to our department, could I ask? Not only irrelevant, but the organization gave a tutorial about it already.
Oh yeah, and when I designed an electronic sorting tool for my colleagues to use in their projects, you rejected it before seeing what it is about. They're dying to use it for your knowledge.
I don't know, but I don't think your attitudes have anything to do with justice, Man of Principles. And that's not all, but I feel disgusted already remembering your doublestandards and unfairness. I might come back when I regain my strength.
No regards,
A staff member!
