week 2 begins

After our weekend adventures in Abu Dhabi and Oman, Sunday morning brought the start of the work week.  In the UAE, Friday and Saturday make up the weekend while Sunday through Thursday are work days.  I've found it incredibly confusing for Monday to actually be Sunday, Friday to be Thursday.  Add to that the fact that often when I talk to Steve, Alex and Sophie it's a different day altogether for them and the days here jumble together in a mass.   I continuously find myself having to talk through what day it is, like so:  Ok, I've worked one day already, I talked to Steve this morning, Sunday, and it really feels like Tuesday but it's actually Monday.  Quite confusing!

Sunday, Sept 23 began our second week in UAE.  It was highlighted by an afternoon visit to the IBM Dubai office, where we met with some of the local team and then had an Arabic dinner in Dubai.  #ibmcsc uae
