I heard some companies in Qatar are observing a holiday on thursday, 8th July 2010. However my wife who is working in HMC does not have a holiday, may be coz she is a nursing supervisor. Is anybody aware about this, coz I want to get myself my medical test done on this day. Please advise, as I dont want to waste a day's leave. Would appreciate if anybody can update me.

hms786002, the guy is asking politely, and he deserves a polite response as well.

anyway. my friend who works in Agility told us last night that tomorrow is their off because of a muslim holiday.

i'm not just sure about other companies like mine. i'm still researching though.
