Attention Deficit Disorder.
I had to look up what the D.D. stood for.
I keep starting tasks, then forgetting what I'm doing.
Looking up things on the regulator website for work, then realizing 10 minutes later that, no I didn't mean to look up images for "naked gay sex in the streets".
I wanted to see if the Nigerian was serious when he said he saw it on the BBC.
He didn't. You should google it, there are some pretty weird images.
But no naked gay sex in the streets.
Beautiful men with beautiful chests.
No gay sex.
And there I go getting side tracked again.
I should be working, will be working, am going to work.
After all everything has to be tied up before I go!
AMERICA!

The money Alexander McQueen left ME!
Funny, I didn't know that I was acquainted with Mr. McQueen much less that I knew him well enough for him to leave me any money.
This is Alexander:
He looks a little angry in this photo.
Anyway, apparently I was wrong about our relationship or lack thereof, I received this note today:
Dear Friend
Mr name Barr perkins George personal attorney to Alexander McQueen - Designer
Fashion Label who died on the 11th day of feb 2010.I have the documents of a
large amount of funds which he handed over to me before he died made you a
beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Seven Million Great British
Pounds (GBP £7,000.000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good and his friend was a gay aswell due to the fact that Mcqueen was a gay and claimed he realised his
sexual orientation when he was six. He told his family when he was 18.
blah blah blah
Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavour to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant time.
Yours in Service,
P.George & Co. Solicitors

Now clearly this is authentic, you can tell by the excellent grammar and spelling skills Mr. P.George has demonstrated in this note.
And I have to tell you...I am so excited I can hardly stand myself! SEVEN MILLION POUNDS!!! That's like 10,500,000 in USD (the exchange rate right now is 1.51)!
I can buy a nice house in Houston, pay off any debt I may have, and all my problems will be solved right?
I wonder how long it will take to collect the money. Should I just give them my bank details and have them wire it in?
This is so exciting!
HA!
I wonder how many people actually give this guy his admin fee or their bank details when he asks. I mean for spam to be so prevalent there must be a certain percentage of reciptients who actually respond.
Hmmmm.....
Anyway I just thought this was funny. Me knowing Alexander McQueen.
Who knew I was a fashionista!
I must own a lot of these Alexander McQueen dresses and shoes...
Not!
It's not that I don't think they're pretty but I don't think I can pull this look off...
I neither tall nor skinny. I'm also not 12 years old. Look at her - she looks like an angry 12 year old. I guess I would be too if my hair was pulled up like this.
So, I guess I'll send this P.George a note so I can collect my money.
And btw - I'm not going to share! Because I'm just that mean!

Well what do you know...
After that last post I get this from an internal auditor from the home office of one of our clients.
This person is not based in Dubai - he was just here to audit the business here.
This was his e-mail to me (after I answered his questions regarding regulatory requirements in this jurisdiction):
"it is very nice to meet you, you are the smartest, the sweetest person i have ever met there."
No English is not his first language - but he is a smart gentleman - he asked actual honest to God real business questions of me.
What a refreshing change from the questions I usually get like - "why do I have to have a signed agreement?" (doesn't one usually need signed agreements with clients?!) and "I've known him forever, why do I have to gather due diligence on him?" (how many times exactly do I have to explain to you that it's REQUIRED by the DFSA regulations?!)
Anyway this e-mail lifted my day. He called me smart.

A Comment
I got a comment last night on my post about spanking. Now I never really thought anyone would read my blog except my friend SP. And really, as busy as she is with her kids, job, and husband, I'm not even sure she has the time to look at it, although she did follow. Thank you SP!
Anyway this was the comment:
"There are still kids who get spanked like me at 13. My parents punish me on the week end for all what I done during the week. I get 40-50 belt or cord. On bare butt and legs. What is very bad, that my classmates tease me cos I always wear shorts to school and they see my marks and call me baby. Did you have similar problems as a kid?"
Now I'm not sure if this is a real 13 year old or if this is from someone being an ass. But if it is from a real 13 year old my question is, where do you live? Meaning what country.
Because I'd like to think if you are in America going to school, in shorts, with visable welps from being beaten with a belt or cord weekly your teachers would have called child services.
If you are in America and your teachers have not called child services - let me say this to you...call 911.
Tell them what is going on because seriously you are being beaten not spanked. And there is a world of difference between the two. What I was talking about is spanking, which leaves no lasting physical marks. It just makes a point. A very good point that the behavior in question is not acceptable.
As the post has a bit of broken English in it, "What is very bad, that my..." I'm leaning toward the thought that you must be in another country like India, Mexico, etc... where beating your kids is O.K.
And if that is the case - sweetie I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you to do. The only thing I can say is that one day soon you will be an adult and free from your parents house. Or that hopefully one day you will be big enough physically that they will be scared to hit you.
But to answer your question if that happened to me when I was a child. No. I was not beaten as you are being beaten.
I was spanked, I was smacked, but there was never, ever, a mark or bruise left on me. And I was lucky enough that my parents cared enough to do it when I needed it, but not cross the line into abuse. Because they could have easily as my parents were not by any stretch of the imagination what you would call good parents.
Anyway - if this was not a real comment and was from someone trying to make a point - I can write about whatever I want and give my opinion because this is my blog, my thoughts, my life.
