Today, I broke a record

20085Oct

by Grace

It’s back to work and school for us and the other UAE creatures today. We left home at 7:20 pm and faced terrible traffic. The much anticipated traffic was worse than what I had expected. I arrived in the office 30 minutes late, for the first time in 22 months, I got late.

My workplace is less than 10 kilometers away from home. I couldn’t imagine others who had to travel twice.

Speaking of work, it’s back to normal now – work times have stretched back to until 6 pm (that’s 8.5 hours in office prison). Last Ramadan, I only have to work 4-5 hours and scooter off at 3 pm. It feels strange to go out of the office and see the sun already jetted off to the west.

That sounds miserable. I hate sitting in traffic!

We changed the clocks here last night, I’m really not looking forward to how early it’s going to get dark now.

Traffic is really awful. I’ve heard that it’s worst in Dubai. ((hug)) You’re awesome for doing it.
