Qatar July 26th, 2011

Have almost been here a month and I've got a month to go before I go home and collect my bride.

We (my bride and I) are getting serious about our discussions regarding her move.  What to bring, how to pay our bills from here, timing of events at home and in Qatar.  It is an exciting, but scary time for both of us.

On the apartment front, I've bought everything I am going to buy before she gets here, except the furniture for the balcony.  I have been to the Home Centre and Carrefour to look at their wooden tables.  I think the Home Centre store will win.

On the project front, our regional president made a site visit to the one project we are managing in Qatar.  I'm sure it was a tick in the box that he visited the site and talked to senior staff.  After he left the Project Director and I sat down and started to map out the teaming requirements for the Doha Metro.  Wow.  What a powerful discussion for me.  It is amazing what can come pouring out of one person when the energy is right.  It is also amazing how two people can collaborate when a common goal is at hand.

I am really looking forward to this exercise and see how it plays out with teaming and winning work in Doha.
