Interesting that the word "stake" - even with its various contexts - purports to some form of action being taken. Staking a claim. Playing for high stakes. Drive the stake through the ground.
I've had an off week - I know this because I know I underperformed on my old standard. Part of it is some stress from last week, I would surmise. But mostly it's because my passport is missing and my residence permit (iqama) has not been processed.
I am in a whole boatload of trouble, if things don't get resolved quickly - at the very least, our people should find my passport. This incident is part of the sickness that ails this company - still, I wouldn't go so far as condemn the whole building for a few rotting walls.
Or would I? Should I?
So now this game has even raised its stakes - the better I get, the more challenges I have to hurdle. And keep on hurdling. Also, have to drive a tough stake into my indolent hide.
Ouch.
