Conversation on Tinder

He: What are you looking for?

Brigit: A job, world peace and Prince Charming… in that order

He: (disappears)

Brigit: Hello? Hello?  

(Sigh… today’s men!)

Sacrifice

Today I shall march into work to be served notice papers – Ouch. I feel like the fatted calf or is it goat being led to the slaughterhouse. And today is Bakrid or Eid – ironically.

Oh well, note to self: Wear the red shoes and the new Mac lipstick paired with the snazzy jacket. When a girl has got to go, she’ll go - in style!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Brigit: This whole toying with Abraham that you did; getting him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac on Eid is really puzzling if you ask me.  Thankfully the goat appeared on time.

God: “My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts” as is written in Isaiah

Brigit: Well looks like the only goat that is going to save me on Bakrid will be in the Biryani I gorge on tonight to cheer me up…

God: Baaah!

Quandary

Ok so in addition to looking for a man, I now have to look for a new job. In all truthfulness, I must say I am very happy to get out of my brain dead moronic 9 – 9 day job. I just will miss the nice fat paycheck at the end of every month.

It’s rather like the relief you feel when getting out of a claustrophic relationship; you can finally breathe again. Phew!  Except that you miss having someone, even if he is a sorry sod, to be with every Friday night or the weekend.

Well, I’ve survived worse.  Shit hits the fan and life goes on.

Brigit: Boo hoo! I want my mummy!

God: There, there child, chin up. I am with you.  Interesting how you never ask for your father…

Brigit: Ok, prioritize – send me the job first.  The Indian men are anyway lining up for that Mars Orbiter round trip.

God: Maybe your next job could be selling tickets for the ride?  Ha! :)

Brigit: Sigh….Divine inspiration…. With friends like you I don’t need the devil.
