It's the weekend again (last one for November?!) after another terribly busy week of conference going and putting out fires at work. We had U.S. Thanksgiving Day dinner with friends followed by playing Wii's Guitar Hero game. Lots of fun! Unfortunately my hockey team continues to lose. Maybe it was from listening to the game online at work for the first time this season.
Next week will be a short 1-2 day work week. We have our ID card appt on Dec. 1 but it could take less than 30 minutes or hours. It depends on the competence of the ID card people. We gave up with the Post Office mailing back our barcodes since it's been over a month now. I've not posted any stories this time about the continued ID card snafu. It's redundant to point out the incredible mess that the media has reported and not reported. There are some interesting blogs about people's experiences with trying to register. All you can do is shake your head at the whole affair.
Then we will relax at home for the UAE's National Day and EID breaks. We're looking forward to catching up on reading, watching dvds and trying to play our dumbeks. A lot of street and building holiday decorations were turned on today so it looks quite festive outside. Hopefully it will dry out a little bit more so that we can leave our apartment windows open for more than just a few hours...
