Off to Dubai again today. Thursday half day, so we'll travel up at around 3pm and have dinner before going out. I'm hoping the weather will be nice enough for me to lay on the beach tomorrow. In Abu Dhabi we are in the middle of a sand storm. Not as dramatic as it sounds, it's like dusty fog...really makes your throat sore though and my eyes itchy, I don't want to be out in it too long.
Went to my second golf lesson last night, I'm actually seeing an improvement which I'm very surprised about!!
Work is going well and is very busy at the moment. The cleaners keep coming in and cleaning my desk at night and stacking all of my paperwork together, not really very helpful cos every morning I have to seperate all the different piles...like I have nothing better to do!
Anyway, better go, short but sweet!xxxxxx

It's been a while!
Hi!
Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been pretty slack I know!! Sorry about that! Anyway, here now! So, what have I been up to, well, working mostly, with a 5 and half day week it doesn't leave much time for anything else, but I'm certainly trying my hardest!!!
I have started a 6 week Golf Lesson Course with some people from work. I was sceptical at first, but I'm actually really enjoying it, another string to the bow and all of that! So that's on Wednesday nights. I have been spending time with some new friends, an Aussie and an American mainly, very sweet girls and we do laugh, a lot!!! So my kind of people!
I am going to Dubai again on Thursday evening, one of my friends has moved up there for a month so we are going to go to a few bars, do a bit of partying and then shop till we drop in the sales on Friday!! Might hit the beach too if it's not windy...need to really work on the tan!
So onto my biggest time spender...work, I can finally let you know what it is I do! Ok, so here goes.
I am promoting the hotel to companies that either have never used us before, or have used us, but could come here more often, or finally, people that use us all the time and need looking after. I show them round our facilities, take them for dinner (entertainments) at the hotel outlets and go and visit them to ensure that they are happy with the service we're providing.
Aside from this, I am working with the conference team to help with the workload, continuously improving our product with new ideas and so on and so forth. That's what I'm doing at work right now actually. 6:15pm on a Sunday (My Tuesday you understand), waiting for an entertainment at 7. I have my priorities right though, it means I get a good dinner and don't have to cook!!! So much for the diet though!
Oh, and I've had my driving license translated from English to Arabic, and now all I need to do is get it transferred, then at least I can drive!!!! (I did think it very amusing when I asked my colleague to read the Arabic for me so I could check it was correct adn she said "Name: Jennifer Lopez Williams".....I think she was thinking of somebody else!!!!)
The final thing I've been doing is coming up with a plot for what looks like it's going to be an extremely interesting screenplay!!! George Clooney, Jason Stretham .... and I'm doing this with someone back home, it's an interesting way to keep in touch and share our news!!!!!! And might have a very amusing outcome if our lives continue in the way they've been headed!!!
So about time for me to head off, check the BBC News website for an update on the snow you've all been having and then off to dinner.
Take care everyone, thanks for all the lovely emails and messages on facebook! It makes it much easier being here, knowing you all still think of me back home!
