Borrowed Time? Still Spoiled Rotten.

So I found Bill W last night for the first time in a while. He came by the name of Nabeel, who was kind enough to rescue me from the Euro-Villiage Compound, where I am staying, to wisk me into another compound on the coast about 15 minutes away. The meeting was a big book meeting with a handful of nationalities and wealth of sober time. Always great to catch a meeting and yes the same message that I have found in San Fran, Charleston, Rock Springs, Gran Junction, Las Vegas, New Orleans and else where my travels in the past couple of years.

After the meeting was over I hadn't eaten dinner yet and it was 9pm. Nabeel and I were goign to give another gentlman a ride back to his compound before he dropped me off. Now it there was any question on my mind as to whether I was living on borrowed time, I got out of that car an hour and half later sure of it. On that note, I must say that driving round here is absolutely horrific, I thought numerous times though out my trip that it might be the end. There is hardly any regard for lanes on any road, including the highways. Some cars go 60km and others pass at 180km, the speed limit which only seems to be enforced on expats is 110k on the highways. It not uncommon at all, for a car in the right lane of a 6 lane divided Blvd to cross all lanes to hang a swift left with paying no attention to other carsin traffic, happens all the time. "Coming through" kind of attitude; again inshallah.

On the work tip, we are barrelling through the the second workshop, which is focused around inventory management, reducing E&O, slow moving and increasing turns. HR workshop next week and then headed home on Wednesday night arriving in Denver Thursday at 3pm after a Frankfurt, Germany flight that leaves at 1pm; 2 hour flight with an actual flying time of 10 hours or so. Looing forward to a little break from the middle east, but I definately did not think I would like it over here this much. Seriously, I could live over here. Maybe not Saudi, but the Middle East, no problem.

All that said, I still maintain that I am spoiled rotten and living the good life. Truly blessed.

Thanks for reading.
