I look into my rear view mirror while driving to my destination wondering if someone is following me. I get in the building and am seated. I am in hurry. Frequently checking the door and imagining bird shadows for people. Someone I know might come in and see me sitting right here and I have to explain. My mind is boggled and I am fidgeting. “Follow me”, I follow him. Four people are waiting for me. I am early as usual. It is time to re-negotiate my contract. I am accepting a new job.

It all started with a simple email I sent in a moment of despair, determination, anger, hope, mixed emotions. It all began when a dear friend said:

“He just left the company and went to a private sector and is looking for Kuwaiti IT staff”.

So I sent my CV. Three months later, the company he left calls me I have an exam, an appointment, contract, re-negotiate contract. I did it

No matter what happens next, I have reached this far, challenged myself, discovered potentials, dare I say I matured, I did it. All fair and square

Almost two and a half years, and I am still holding to my beliefs and ideals. Still I am standing against the so-called working in Kuwaiti-style.

One last step, tell my supervisors I’m leaving, for hopes and dreams of better chances. To them I say ‘Thank You’ . I have reached this far with your help. My only regret is that I am leaving behind the only people I considered worth staying for. To the rest that annoyed me, F*CK YOU ALL.

To you a gentle breeze in my life …
