One More Week

September 21, 2008 | Filed Under Main |

…of Ramadan.

The end of this month long holiday has both its good and bad properties. Good because I will be able to eat lunch again, which is prohibited in the daylight hours. I will enjoy being able to eat something before I get out of work, though bad because I now have to go back to working until 6PM as opposed to the Ramadan shortened 4PM (though most everyone else got out at 2PM). It is also bad because the country will now return to Traffic Hell. Traffic Hell had been suspended since June when all the kids got out of school and everyone left the country (except for expats and the Ministry). They all returned at the beginning of September, but Ramadan hours meant no one would be driving to work anytime before nine in the morning (except those of us working). In one week, bumper-to-bumper NASCAR traffic will begin once more promptly at 7AM and end somewhere around 4AM the next day.

I need a vacation….

    I thought you were on vacation. BTW, please keep stuffing your mattress with petrodollars. You will need them.
