Hi.

What's the practice in Qatar with respect to office timings? Do they work staright; say 8 am - 5 pm like most companies here in Dubai? Or, they work on a split shift like in Muscat?

Thanks.

I adopted Bailey - a cute saluki that in his early days was badly treated. He was bought up eventually in West Bay with a really nice couple so hes a bit of a Rags to riches story - just like moi! lol

You are so right. I am really a rather caring sharing and indeed loving fellow. Its just that sometimes some of the QL luvvies do rather get ' up my nose ' so I respond accordingly. Perhaps novita could run some Offensive Management course just for moi!?
