When School Administration Collapses

If you stay at work for a long time you start to care less about changes around you but when you leave work for a period of time and get back every change will be exposed to your eyes and you'll feel different, it even takes time for you to adapt with these changes.

I left my job for a couple of weeks and today I marked my come back and to my shock the school is not how I left it. Both assistant principals are gone due to heated dispute between the two, school principal comes late and leaves early, students are in a state of disorder skipping classes and running away from school, teachers can barely contain the situation and continue with their classes.

Trying to resolve all these problems we implemented physical discipline upon those who have helped building up the chaos. We suspended a couple of students and retained order for a period of time up until the first recess, students went out writing on walls and spilling juice on some of the writing boards. From there it went downhill again.

It's hard for me to admit but the situation is out of hand and this snowball is going fast down the mountain. All we can hope for is to have two new assistant principals who better be very strong and very strict as fast as possible.

When school administration collapses brats of hullabaloo prevail.

Review | Munch


Tasteless |ˈtāstlis|
adjective
1 lacking flavor.
2 considered to be lacking in aesthetic judgment or to offend against what is regarded as appropriate behavior : a tasteless joke.

After my bad experience with Japanese food I thought I'd never have anything worse than that but then came Munch.

The best word to describe my experience with Munch is "Tasteless". In fact if you look closely in the dictionary for synonyms of the word tasteless you'd fine "Munch" listed.

This restaurant stands solely on it's hyped decoration and food presentation. Other than that, nothing at all. The service is inadequate, the menu is unreadable, the drinks are made from Sunquick concentrated juice with some add-ons, their fries can be found in City Centre market, their kitchen ventilation system is so noisy you'd think you're in a heavy industry plant, and the food is another story... The food tastes like mud. Yes, Mud! The salads, pasta, burger... No salt at all! Seems their cook has some blood pressure issues.

Definitely the last time I take internet marketing for granted. Oh and a word of advice... Stay away from Bang Bang Chicken salad. Unless you want to vee.o.em.eye.tee.

Aramex "To Clear Things Up"

"Hello Shop&Shippers!

We understand it's been a rough week for all of you, but finally, Kuwait Customs' policy has cleared up, and we're happy to say that online shopping is about to become more fun than ever!

So here's the bottom line: regardless of the goods value, all shipments are subject to customs clearance. We'll clear all shipments in one bundle, and pay the charged customs duties accordingly. You read correctly; it's on us!

In this case, you will only endure the following charges:

- 1 KD handling charges
- 5% of order value for Kuwait Customs duties (applicable only to orders valued above $100 USD)

However, self-clearance option is no longer available for our customers. You can contact us at [+ 965 1 820011] for further details.

Happy online shopping!

Your friends at Shop&Ship,"


Now let's get things straight...

Today $100 UDS = 29 KD (approx.)

Let's say you bought something that costs $1000 USD and weighs 8 LB.

That's 290 KD + 20.5 KD = 310 KD
310 + 5% = 310 + 14.5 + 1 KD = 325.5 KD

35.5 KD is not a small cost. This is outrageous, not to mention we got screwed with shipping fees and still after months of relatively low gas cost Aramex persists on keeping their shipping prices high.

Again, if you want to order something it better be worth it.
