- Over exhausted to the point where a nervous breakdown has started looking like a good vacation idea
- Unable to recognize teammate after her vacation. I find that highly embarrassing.
- Sleeping 10 hours straight (after 1.5 weeks of 3 hours sleep or less every night) does not help all that much
- 4 AM plotting of how to win Annika over is fun
- Using trademark sad voice helps when convincing tough police woman that my residency papers cannot wait and I need it to be processed right now!
- Kindness by random strangers in shops and taxis makes me want to cry
- Craving pakoras and aloo ke parathay
- Making my own suhoor /sehri is not fun
- Saying "we are geniuses, geniuses I tell you" when feeling overworked helps
- Developing a close friendship with the snooze feature on my cell phone does not aid productivity, but can cause teammate and self to be late for a conference we're supposed to be running
- Trying to believe that the laws of gravity also work in pulling you towards favorite coffee shop is highly irrational
- Ramadan day naps are only refreshing as long as your phone does not ring as soon as you have fallen into deep, dreamless sleep
- Inability to speak more than one sentence of Urdu does not help when meeting people who can speak Urdu. Which, btw, in Jordan - apparently ranges from random people to CEOs to the Jordan Prime Minister (who I have not met, but bragging never hurt)
- Ramadan in Jordan rocks. To the point where I wonder how I can finagle my way into spending every Ramadan here..

rid yourself of this curse dearest saba, an old school alarm clock is what you need. jordan has that no?
