Its the big 5 - 0 here in Qatar, 50 entries whilst I been in Qatar, and lets hope I do alot more.
I have been thinkin of reducing my 9 a month to possibly 8 or 7 as its actually quite demanding and though it doesnt sound a lot it is.
I went out the other night with my functional manager and a few collegues, this funtional manager is quite high up in the company and was really insighful into how the company is run at a much higher level and obviously was good to socilise with the bosses bosses boss!
My work load is manageable at the moment in terms of my every day activity, however as I am a Area Warden, I have a lot of things to do with preparing stuff for the people who living in my area with respect to safety and security. Im also doing this thing called Six Sigma, where using mathamatic formulaes to try to better processes. I am training to be a yellow belt, and hopefully iA i will become one over the next couple of months.
I dont know if i mentioned Merit before, its this competetions that is held by Loughbrough univeristy, and invites people from all over the world to participate in running a virtual construction company. Bechtel has like 4 teams in it, and other companies have like 12 or soemthing stupid like that, aneway we started off really well, and was like in the top 50 out of over 300 teams, however we started to go down and now were just out of the top 100, however were still top of the bechtel teams so we have local bragging rights!!
There is a new shopping centre here in Qatar called Villagio, its amazing, it has a huge Carrerfour with a wicked electrical selection! They jus oppened a virgin megastore which has a really good booked section, and there are not many places where u can find decent books here in Qatar. It has lots of the fashion shops of oxford street, like Topman/topshop, Bershka, Hm,Zara,mango etc but the best thing is the river within the mall. It has a gondolla service for people to take u shop to shop, its such a novel idea, im sure its copied from somewhere else in the world but for me its a novel area.
I have decided to improve my quality of life here in Qatar, as I usually dont spend much money here in Qatar but now I am renting a car, i already had satalitle but now i got like the Platinum package as my mum is coming and also the cricket world cup! its going to be sooo good!
Im getting internet and phone line installed and Im getting my teeth fixed iA lol!(its about time i know!)
Last night saw the return to my illustraious football career with bechtel!it was a cracking performance and though i didnt play much i got really stuck in, shame about us losing 10-0. However I came on when it was 8-0 and they only scored 2 goals, I lost whatever fitness i built up in the last few weeks and now i need to restart again! However the cool thing abuot yesterday was i met someone who went to my old school. He was a couple years older than me, he was playing for the other team and is a teacher here in Qatar, hes enjoyin himself alot here and i think it will be good I know more and more people outside of work, and will hopefully lead me to become a better networker!
Well thats it for today its the weekend for me and if ur very lucky u may get a update over the weekend!
Take care
