Welcome to my world!!!!!

Hello Rachel,

Well,........AAACHEOM!!!!!!
Sorry! Oh yes, I caught flu and I am very sick. Actually, I didn't figure out the cause, but I realise that I have to move temporarily from being a flu friend to a flu victim or even a flu prey. Don't worry! I am just fine right now and it seems like I will pass this anyway.

In one of your enteries you said, "Could you take some photos of yourself at work? I am interested to see what your pharmacy looks like! " Well, Rachel, I can't refuse any thing you ask. I took some photos of the most important moments in my work day. So, let's begin.

10.00 am: I open the pharmacy doors myself


Now, it's time to clean up all this mess of the previous busy night.


I have never been good in cleening my room and making it tidy, and it was hard at first to do that in pharmacy. By time, the whole task has become easier.

After 45 minuets............

TADAAAAAA!!!!!!!!



I used to sweep this floor then clean it using a mop every day.........Not bad for a young man, isn't it?

It's the time to have my morning tea break.I drink one cup of tea with milk two times daily.


After a while, my mother comes to the pharmacy. She is the manager.

She is a kind woman, but when it comes to work she becomes serious. I learnt from her many things about managing the pharmacy and how to make my pharmaceutical information very useful. She is a good pharmacist and a great manager.

During this, I have to deal with the new drugs coming to the pharmacy. I arrange them in categories, write down their expirey date in the records, put the price lables then puting them in shelves.

At 3.00 pm my morning shift ends. I leave y mother in the pharmacy and stay at home for three hours.

At 6.00 pm the night shift begins. During this shift nothing important happens. I spend some moments watching TV.

I spend most of the night shift with my father.

He was a surgeon, but he had to retire early when he was 29 because of Parkinsonism, a central nervous system disease. In spite of that, he takes part in the management of the pharmacy with my mother and plays successfuly his rule as the leader of the family. Also, he gives medical advice to people gratis. In fact, he is a brave man.


I hope you have enjoyed these pictures and looking forward for your comments.

See you after the weekend.

Hi Jihad, you have a fantastic family. I see thath there is a great feeling amongst you and your mother but it's also important the respect that you for your father. Very kind family!

Hi Jihad, thanks for your pics. It are really, really marvellous. Special comments deserve the pictures with your parents. My soul has been recharged for the friendly vibes that emanate from those wonderful pics. -Trust In me, THANKS A LOT-. In addiction, I enjoyed a lot (also)your friendly style with those ACHEOOOM and TADAAAAA. At first time I've made an unforgiven mistake; I've taken the e-dictionari searchin 'acheooom' with null result. Weeeeell (I thought) and once I restarted to read I've realised that you were using an onomatopeia. Sudenly I've burst into tears of laugh. Enough for today, but I don't want to finish without give my special regards to your great parents. See you pal. Toni

Can anybody buy any kinds of medicines at the pharmacy without a doctor's prescription in Egypt? How many hours do you open the pharmacy? How many days a week do you open it? Best regards, James.

Hello,I'm fond of your job.I known it is difficult for a boy to clean up room,but you do it well.

very nice pictures, how many members are there in your family? are you the only son in the family? regards

Excellent

Hi Jihad, I enjoyed very much your pictures and you described very precisely your daily life. You have very young parents. They seem to be beautiful people. You're lucky to be able to work with your parents and get on very well. By the way, the pharmacy looks very clean and tidy. Congratulations!!! Send my regards to your mum and dad. Best wishes, Cristina

Hi Jihad! Hope you are feeling better by now. You sure it doesn't have anything to do with H1N1? ;) Nice photos! It it interesting to see you at work, and with your family. It should be a very special opportunity to work with the other members of family. Not all people experience it. What do think about it?

Thanks for your interesting daily routine, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Your workshop looks spic and speck and the floor is immaculate after you used some elbow grease. Well done!! Many people are always serching for their life time a hero (nice), but I don’t think you need any idle because you have got your father. He sets a good example and shows you how to overcome all the odds with great courage. You are a very lucky son to have a brave father like him, and your dad is an unsung hero!!! Are you sure that she is your mum? It looks she is your sister to me because she looks so young. Lastly, could you tell us when you close the pharmacy, and when you take or have a day off, please? Have a wonderful day!!!

Hi Jihad, Thanks for the nice pictures, i hope you will get well soon. Sreenadh.T

Hello Jihad! I see my comment had been lost,I keep no concepts, but take the warmest compliment on your parents, your bright relationships and nature, the smart pharmacy and yours authority in there and last but not least your writing style! I asked weather you´ve got siblings?

Hello, Jihad.I admire you very much! I wish I would be so happy as you one day. Best regards to your fmaily.

Hi Muhammad It's been a while since I wrote here. I was busy with my university work and it was quiet time consuming. I missed writing here. I just finished my work today and I am already here to read all the messages. I I just saw your pictures and they are fantastic. Apart from the pictures, I am really imressed with your comments you wrote about your parents. This means you are a good son. It is good to give respect to your elderly especially your parents. As parents always wants good for their children but once the children grow up, they start complaining that you like that child more than me etc. Some times children think they are more clever than their parents and which some times leads to conflict between parents and children. In my it is better to value their point of views and at the same time suggest your own point of views. Parents a lot of experience but some children think they understand everything better than their parents. You will be always successful when you respect your parents. I will finish by saying that your parents are great and you are superab. Take care Rabail UK
