Dear Microsoft : It's over. Our relationship just hasn't been working for a while, and now, this is it. I'm leaving you for another Operating system. I know this isn't a good time--you're down with yet another virus. I do hope you feel better soon--really, I do--but I, too, have to move on with my life. Fact is, in the entire time I've known you, you seem to always have a virus or an occasional worm. You should really see a doctor. That said, I just can't continue with this relationship any longer. I know you say you'll fix things, that next time it'll go better--but that's what you said the last time--and the time before that. Each time I believed you. Well, not any longer. You cheater! The truth is there's nothing more you can say to make things better. I know about your secret marriage to patent. You say you two are not seeing each other anymore, but I just don't believe it. You say you can live without patent, and I've heard that
Jad, my first thought was 'great!" but my second was, "there are so many hands on, face-to-face volunteering needs in Jordan - why go on-line for something else?"
ReplyDeleteFace-face helping builds bonds, if there is one thing East Amman needs, it is bonds with West Amman. I've written to Lina about how many public schools outside of Amman have computers hanging around in boxes gathering dust. Getting these kids computer literate is essential to their future, and Jordan's. With your expertise, and other planet citizens, you can make a differnce right smack where your talents and interests lie.
Kinzi,
ReplyDeleteI agree, face-face helping builds bonds, but if the other face is unknown how you can proceed? Unfortunately we don't have NGOs in Jordan or at least I think so because I have never seen an advert for any asking for some volunteers on the other hand Online volunteering is good because you have build a connection with outside NGOs and at the end the goal is to help others.
Now, Can you blog about these public schools to give us more information on what's needed to be done and how to contact them?
