Been out of commission a bit here but have some humor today from my husband’s Arabian workplace.
Tweet is the kind of manager who likes for colleagues and employees to think through technological problems themselves in order to solve them. When they reach an impasse, he suggests they send him screen shots of the technical issue (Prt-Screen) and a brief update (text) on where they are/why stuck. (Tweet does the same with me by the way because he subscribes to the PEBCAK theory! If you haven’t heard of the PEBCAK theory that’ll be a future blog post for sure.)

Yes, I Like Camels!

| Camel herd with (rare?) baby white camel |
As a young girl, I actually used to play with my Barbie and Ken dolls (I admit to having them), creating all kinds of adventures for them as they traveled around distant places. I remember having a fairly elaborate script with them and some camels and Arabians traversing the Western Sahara and even the Arabian Peninsula. These adventures must have been “created” after I watched the film Lawrence of Arabia.

Daylight Savings Time - No Prob!
One advantage to living in Arabia that comes to mind today – changing my clock isn’t necessary for the end of daylight savings. There is no daylight savings! This is awesome!

It's International Women's Day!
This morning I saw groups of women come to a café and shake hands with other groups of women who were already seated before them. What a nice greeting for international women’s day!
Congratulations to all women – mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and friends!

Person of the Year?
I mentioned Yemen in a recent post and a friend of mine shared with me an article from the Yemeni English daily, Yemen Observer. I have to share a snapshot of this article, "Person of the Year." I think it is a good thing I scanned a copy because it wasn’t posted on the Internet pages of the paper.
Enjoy!
