另一則齋戒月訊息

想到資深同事寄給所有第一次體驗齋戒月的新同事的email,
總歸一句就是趙爸爸說的：出門要注意安全！！

All, Ramadan is here again and for those of you who have not had the joy of experiencing this time please be aware of a few safety tips:

The roads are, to say the least, even more exciting than usual at this time of year. The time to watch out for is around dusk - at this point everybody rushes home to break their fast and having not eaten or drunk all day they are in a huge hurry and generally not concentrating as much as they should.

Try to avoid driving around sunset - it will save you time, aggravation and possibly your life if you just pull over or delay you trip 20 minutes or so. As soon as the sun has set and everybody has got home the roads are beautifully empty and safe. Road accidents for this time of year are truly horrendous so watch out. If you are in a taxi I would recommend you always sit in the back as this can apparently reduce your risk of injury in a crash by up to 50%.

Let's be careful out there (doo do doo, do doo do - Hill Street Blues theme tune...)

注意事項多歸多，但好處也不少～
1. 齋戒月一天"只能"工作六小時(其他時間要用來獻給阿拉吧，我想)
以我一天11小時的班，等於我每一天班有5小時的加班費！
2. 齋戒月後照慣例有十天假(我今年的假都排不完了，最好是變現金吧！)
3. 每天日落後，公司請飯店在阿拉伯式大帳篷內辦外燴，免費吃到撐。
4. 各大購物中心都有阿拉伯文化的表演和活動，頗有伊斯蘭文化祭的感覺。

還OK吧！innit?
