Its the weekend!!!

Its Saturday night, and already the dreaded tomorrow is Sunday get ready for the week is approaching!
However, I will not complain as I am loving being back at work. Eyad breaks up from school on Tuesday, and I feel for him as I am not able to take leave anytime soon while I am on my 3 months probation period.

I now have to find something for him to do, maybe surfing school or tennis (which is what he would rather do) in addition to his swimming at the weekend. I have a feeling it will be a long summer for him especially with Ramadan fast approaching, the days will be long as at the moment is doesnt start getting dark till almost 10 in the evening.
Hopefully mama will be able to come and stay for a while, which of course means Joe too will come!

Read Anglo Libyans post about renewing his Libyan passport and it fills me with dread as I too need to do the honors!! Mine is not too bad as it has only been 3 years since I last renewed!! However, i know for a fact that it will not be plain sailing and it makes me both sad and angry that our own country makes it as difficult as they can for us, and as he rightly mentioned they make up the rules as they go along. People here get so excited about going on (holiday) after working hard all year round, yet somehow the whole process turns in to a nightmare for us before we even go and the sad thing is that we still want to because deep down it is "home" for us and I would like Eyad too to have that connection of home.

Almost 2 months later!!!

Ok it has been a longggg time since I last posted anything due to various issues and commitments, however almost 2 months to the day from my last post of May 5th I have received the news I had been waiting for and that is that I am starting work on Monday..HOORAY it has been a very trying time looking and applying for work, and to be honest job hunting is made worse during thes difficult economic times.

Don't know if I will be able to blog to begin with as time will be tight and I will be working full time and long hours too. Will definetely try and carry on ranting as I am sure I will have plenty to write about. It has been almost 3 years exactly since I was last working at Qatar Airways in London and that was a job I loved and felt comfortable doing, however now the industry I have gone in to is more of a challenge and I wonder how long it will take me to settle?

Don't know if anyone can concur with me on this but amazingly I was more organised while working then I have been not working!! Can't wait to get back in to work mode..Must go now as have 101 things to do on my list..
