All jobbed out!

Having just been told by the HR department of the Government TV network where I work that I have another 25 days to pack my bags and leave the unit, my services are no longer required, thank you very much, I have been gobsmacked for the second time in four months...why does someone get the sack for doing their job? What are some of the parameters to holding a job in Dubai? Looks definitely like hard work and integrity don't belong on the list at all. Possibly playing politics does, measuring up to people's liking you does, and celebrating the system definitely does earn you kudos which doing your work and being a nice person does not help accomplish for you.....curioser and curioser - like Alice would have said in Wonderland - it is a bit numbing and definitely the pressue that being unemployed after having had a job all your life, is a bit of a downer...do things happen for a reason - let's take the positive spin on that and say, definitely - there are reasons and reasons.....what is a good reason on God's Green Earth....nice to think, que sera sera, whatever will be will be, but definitely Dubai is a place where working to earn a living is expected of you - the same way as breathig is, for instance! I often wonder what would have happened if Issac Newton had felt similarly pressured, or Leonardo Davinci had been berated for spending time painting chapels, when he could be earning an honest wage?? Is great creativity often the casualty in our humdrum worlds, built to nurture a capitalist economy? Is creativity something that needs to be told to go to hell, if one must remain sane in a work place?? Let's work, work, work and go, go, go....as that inimitable cartoon character - the smurfs - would have put it.....here's to thrifty days and nights!
