OHR
October 28, 2005 | 25 Ramadhan 1426

Today, I graciously accepted my position at U-Penn with the OHR - Office of Human Research. I’m the new Operations Specialist (I like the sound of that - makes me think I’ll be apart of some secret splinter cell operation). I went in today to inspect my new desk, pick out my computer as well as sign more paper work than any man should ever have to. The staff all seem to be a really cheery group of people and I’m honored that I’ve been chosen from so many applicants to work with them. Stop on by if you’re ever on campus. We’re at 150 Anatomy-Chemistry Building (the ACB).

    Congrats Marc. I’m glad you found some full-time employment to tie you down for awhile. With your spirit, you’re liable to be in Algeria by June…but in the mean time, enjoy the new gig. I don’t know how job market is in Phila but here in Detroit man, jobs are PRECIOUS! I hope the city of brotherly love treats you kinds. Seems like you got a good support network out there and a good head on your shoulders which is important.

    Stay up player..
    If it’s God’s will, I’ll be visiting you out there soon.
    -Jonathan

    Congradulations on your new job! Are you going to be visiting Ann Arbor anytime soon?

  23. Marqas Says:

    Wa ‘alaykum salaam.

    Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to working and in sha Allah, attending U-Penn for school. I’d like to see if I can finish my degree there.

    I don’t have any concrete plans to return but I’d like to. I don’t think my parents are coming to Philly this winter so maybe I’ll catch a cheap flight back to A2 for a quick visit.

    Talk to you soon,

    Good luck dude! Did a friend of mine contact you? He also works somewhere there.

    Ramadan mubarak anyway!

    Ramadan Kareem. Thanks, man. I did get your email but haven’t had a chance to contact him yet but I will. Maybe I’ll do some shots of him doing some urban BMX stuff.
