So, I found something cool to do this weekend. I got a group of co-workers together and we are all going on a sea kayak tour through a bunch of the islands in Abu Dhabi to see the wildlife and scenery. Should be a very cool trip. It's a 3 hour paddle, with a half hour break in between to stop and swin at one of the remote islands.
In other news, hell week at work has finally ended and our schedules are back to normal. Also, after countless calls, arguments, and complaints, the company who provides the only source of Internet out here finally decided to get off of their proverbial asses. They told me this morning, "Someone will call you within the next couple of days to schedule an installation". What I didn't know was that meant, "Someone will call you today when they drive to your house and ask why you aren't there." My bad...
Anyway, they showed up and I was really excited. Finally I can browse the web without having to hike across the street to my neighbor's house. So, after about half an hour, they installed the fiber router, ran the cable, and plugged it in. Then they said to me, "Someone will call you in the next few days to come out and turn it on"
Huh?!?!?!? You mean all you guys do is install the router and someone else has to turn the darn line on? Wow...Efficiency at it's best.
Anyway, that's about it. I'm counting down the days till I get back and finally get Jill moved out here and done with this transient living. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
