....the best laid plans

so.....it has actually been 5 days since I posted a blog. My intention was to update it every day but I cannot get on the internet at the hotel unless i use the business centre pc's and they are so slow its not worth my time.

So, I can only post when at work and connected but I am trying to make a good impression here and am v.busy already so in work time I have kept personal stuff to a minimum.

So the long tall and short of it is that I have to update you on the last 4 days which, and a chose my words carefully, have been the most increadible work days of my life to date.

After the evening when I went to the wrong mall I went to work and got stuck in. The day was motoring along and much time was being spent on trying to sort a visa out for Libya (I have still not gone....but at any minute the visa could arrive and I will go). I had a flight on reserve for Tuesday morning and as it approached 4pm and we didnt have confirmation on the visa so the flight reservation was cancelled.

Once this happended Robin called me into the office. Check the picture out...I am working for Brent. Ive already taken the piss out of him for this have got him to do the dance as well - he takes the piss out of me so its all good (Dad - its fine......I can hear you saying 'just be careful son').

Anyway, he looks at me inquisitely and says 'meeting with our client in Doha on the 20th, your going to have to attend that on your own. The meeting is regarding the Dubai Tower in Doha which will be about twice the size of Canary Wharf. You cant really attend that meeting on your own without ever having actually been to Doha yourself before. He was umming and ahhhing about whether or not he could afford the time to take me on a tour of Doha. This guy is VERY busy and to my mind I would get to know a place better if I had to find my own way rather than having my hand held. I interceeded and suggested that this would be my preference in all seriousness. He was pleased but asked 2 or 3 times are you sure. Yeah, no problem. I flight was booked immediately and tickedts arrived by courier 25 mins later. My flight was at 7.45am but I was adivsed to get there for 6.15am which meant getting up at 5.00am - ahhh, I aint never be no good at dem early god damn starts mo fo

Packed my stuff the night before and....................
