I've got too much life / running through my veins / going to waste

Total number of hours of sleep since Friday night: 14
Total number of hours worked since Saturday*: 26 (that I can remember)
Total number of resumes downloaded and EP forms reviewed from Insight: downloaded - around 170 / reviewed - who knows how many I looked at..
Songs of the week: Feel - Robbie Williams / Secret Garden - Bruce Springsteen
Anyway. The flight back to Amman was great (RJ's food is awesome, funnily enough the steward who I briefly talked to on my flight into Jordan 6 months ago recognized me 'you're Pakistani! you traveled 5 - 6 months ago!', and I saw Tel Aviv from the plane!) Being back in Amman is awesome, and being able to speak (read: repeat the few words I know) in Arabic. And I had yet another identity crisis, yay!
So at the airport..
Two queues. One for foreigners. One for Jordanians.
Me: 'I have a Jordanian residence card, but...I am a foreigner. Oh crap, where the hell do I go!?'
Thankfully I asked, and I got to be in the Jordanian queue! They even wrote 'muqeem' (translation: resident) on my passport stamp this time. And then - because the bus outside the RJ terminal wasn't leaving anytime soon for the city, the bus driver drove me to the next terminal and got me into the right bus..yay for me :)
And here's a collage from rainy Rotterdam!
