Last day of work...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh Date : Thursday Dec-22. Action : Exit interview.. It's the first time to speak about my job as a professional developer for a foreign company... So, let's start the story from the begining.. There is not much to tell about how did i get the job or something.. simply i was chatting with a friend who was gethering some people to start working for that company (he is a senior team manager) he said "u wanna work for Critical Sites ?" i said "why not" he said "send me ur C.V" they needed a lot of C.Vs then they would examine them and choose who would be able to get into the next step which is an interview... 2 weeks later... and yet no calls or confirmations yet.. Actually i was not waiting their call cuz mmmm i didn't really care about work.. i just wanted to know their own opinion... Finally the phone rang, i looked at the CallerID... it showed "--------0--------" i laughed and replied... "

(actually if we couldn't, i'ld have been so sad cuz it was one of the main features (and new) we designed in the StocksMarket system)..... It's 2 pm now... when we should go to deliver but Oh
