One last thing, I noticed that the letter "n" keeps being replaced by the letter "m" when I type. There's multiple typos where for some reason this mistake keeps happening even though I edit my emails and correct it when I see it. For instance, there an error below where "and" shows up as "amd" by mistake. Does this also happen to you? If yes, how do you cope with it?

By the way, Kamal. Did you forward my emails to Ahmed this time? The last time I "blogged" my thoughts to the family, you were so impressed with my writing ability, that you insisted on sharing my emails with Ahmed, the resident Sudanese with a PhD in English Literature, living in UAE, twice divorced having lost his second wife, the beautiful Selwa, despite a scandalous APTN office affair, leading to both of them leaving their wife/husband respectively including the children (Selwa had 5!) to pursue their "grand amour." Too bad it doesn't last in real life like the fairy tales.

Family,

Happy Saturday. Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend. Are you ready for another installment of Notes from the Overground (not to be confused with the Undergound)? Talk about a double entender.

This time it's Mona's turn because no one wants to be left out. I am not sure she qualifies as fully stricken by MDS. She is definitely non-responsive but then again so are most of you, with Yeune and Susan being the notable exceptions. The rest can best be described as zombies, sleep walking through life. How else would you react to "family and friends" who profess to care but their extent of "caring" is to deploy missives through the form of police agents. Literally the opposite of caring. But I digress.

Below is proof positive that something is amiss with my job search. I have had these elliptical communications with multiple companies since the summer and it just seems like they are in the twilight zone. Or maybe it's me that is in the twilight zone. Either way, it does not compute. I'm sure there's a "reason" that Mona kept insisting the two times we talked on the phone, that I reach out to Doug and Kevin Stephens. Which is bizarre to me because when we were all working for BAH, Doug and Kevin were essentially "hi and bye" type colleagues. They supported different agencies. Kevin Stephens wasn't even in Capital Planning. But for some reason Mona just keeps saying, did you reach out to Doug and Kevin Stephens (not to be confused with Kevin Foley. One is Black amd one is White.) It is like she's a broken record. 

I will keep holding up a mirror to society (as Jerry Springer famously said) until you all snap out of it and wake up! I will be waiting with open arms.

FYI, because you kept referring me to Doug and Kevin Stephens at NTT, the Japanese consulting company, below is the latest communications I had with them. They are not responsive by any stretch of the imaginations. See, I do follow your advice.
