Ridiculous!

Another indication that this country is far from getting productive! Because of the dust that is blown from the west, originating in Iraq, they suddenly announced it was a day off today. They also announced tomorrow would be a day off too! Would Japan close its offices because of the Asian Dust (yellow dust/sand) originating in China? It would be ridiculous to stop things so suddenly! Well, it's not my country and I have to pay my respect to whatever the government decides here, but I first thought only the governmental organizations and offices were to follow the "order"... but it seems like they have announced it as a "public holiday" for "one or two" or even "three" days! How vague can you be when you order people to take a day off!? It's like a joke!
Well, I decided to let my staff take a rest, because they had enough work these two months. I'm having a temporary assistant helping me and even though it costs me money, it could be the wisest way to use money now!

After the 9PM news, the state television broadcasted the President's address to the nation. He surely did not talk just to his citizens, as he attacked his "enemies" as always. I had to work until midnight and it was not a holiday at all for me! It was also sad that while I had to put all myeffort into finding a soundbite I could use for my story, the television on the side was broadcasting the King of Pop's public memorial ceremony which billions around the world must have been watching... I hope at least millions were watching what I was watching!

I checked it out from the roof...

well you can see the Milad Tower... barely in the middle...
but you can see all the buildings nearby!
what's the problemo, seƱor!
