Hopefully when I retire I can look back on this compendium in fondness.
In Nov 22, I embarked on an adventure..to the UAE! Took up a job at a place I considered my DREAM job...and was SORELY disappointed, underwhelmed and confused. Alas...the grass is always greener.
Notwithstanding my time in Abu Dhabi has been nothing short of amazing. Comfortable, convenient, safe and actually a bit boring (where the bacchanal!!). My home in Waters Edge. Yas Island sat me in the lap of comfort and was my launch pad to about 5 trips just this year!
Besides home for carnival in Feb, Barbados in May, Cyprus in June, Fiji in October, Tanzania (Serengeti and Zanzibar) in November and now..I return home to take up a new post.
Because although life here is GREAT. Its great for 5 months out of the year. Otherwise..you are trapped indoors. From about April 20 to mid October this year..it was...HOT! And besides tbe temperature the work..is just...sorely disappointing.
I've made some connections that I hope can weather the distance...I'm glad I came..if not only to know that I shouldn't keep the torch burning in my heart for this agency. It is well and firmly extinguished. I know what it is (what it is not) and what to expect.
The money was good ..but its time to be useful again..vs a pampered showgirl. So now I embark on a crazy set of cleaning. Closing my tasleem, addc, du, move out with Provis and all the like.
Abu dhabi 2022 to 2023...it was eye opening. Will I be back? Maybe...who knows what the future holds 😀
I sure don't.
