Too much dust offshore, wondering about town!

My finger cross for you (and my toes too of course !) one day you would be able to turn up in QLSG event. I have made tons of friends through here ... :-) And made 1 or 2 enemies through here too lol.

i watch some matches on TV,thats all.The big Euro fever is not to feel where i am.Just the normal stuff.Especially when the stupid Swiss Kickers playing a nonsense like they did.Also the Austria-Croatia Match was boring.And yet Germany-Poland,its not the big hit.

Its disapointing to be honest.Lets hope for Italy-Holland tomorrow.And then the ultimative WM revenge Italy-France.

SG,

Believe me, I miss rain too much.

How does it feel being in Switzerland in Euro08, did you buy any match's ticket.?

:D

Novi, I have a lot of work, but I'm off since the morning, because of the weather as well, we can not operate cranes with this strong wind, it has operational limits.

:D

Novi, I'm missing many events as well,

To be honest with you, it's not the kind of event that matters to me, it's the kind of people who make it.

I never met any of the QLSGers yet, but I know by now, by communicating through QL, how many good friends I'm gonna have here, since I had a very bad social life in Qatar so far (being busy all the time).

Everyone seems to be nice, understanding and fun, so it doesn't matter if it's a boat trip or coffee shop, it will be great because of the people there.

:D

You dont have works to do obviously ??? :P

and not the [deleted by mod - no swearing] rain here.By the way,they will play waterball instead of football if it goes on like this

:-((

Samira,

Take it easy gal, we are just kidding with you.

but if you keep hijacking threads, you won't get enough answers, In the middle of another discussions you ask about MBA in Qatar, doesn't make any sense.

we did not answer because we don't know the answer, but there are more than 30,000 other members who might know, so you can go to the upper right menu of this page, and click on add forum topic, and then ask whatever you want by creating a new post, like that you can assure more members will read it, and be sure that everyone is willing to help if they can.

:D

Peace.

oabazeed ... you just missed DaRuDe QLSG boat trip to Banana Island ...

Silly Question:

What is the dhow trip?

I hear this word alot, excuse my bad touristic information. :))

:D

Da, tell me you are kidding....

Oilfield sectors in the gulf are restricted areas.

But we can arrange some other kind of trip by boat may be, something new, I never arranged something like this before, but I will start collecting info about it.

we'll discuss it at the first gathering I'm in, I will take care of the boat, and you will take of Novi's sea sickness bills :)) lol.

:D

ok will do dhow thats better can get more around 25.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

hey...can anyone tell me about mba in qatar...or msc in computer engineering...i am a student of computer science and engineering...but i want to do msc in qatar...is it possible??

All the best re your work Oabazeed. Yes i would like to put your name into face one day in one of DaRuDe gathering. Thats why i said you cant leave Qatar just yet.

Honestly, I wish to sign with another company in Qatar, I like it so much here, although did not have time to enjoy it yet (since 4 years).

But I heard that without NOC, I can't stay in Qatar, right?, and since I don't know who is my sponsor, I think my direct manager will decide, who is not a good friend of mine.

I just wish they change the rules here, to be able to resign, and work for another company without any issues, but if that's not possible, I still have many offers to work for Canadian companies, then I will have to look at them.

But in all cases, I'm sure I will meet you soon in one of the Gatherings, I did not have a chance to be in any of them yet, I always apologize from DaRuDe for not being able to come, but will see you all soon hopefuly.

:D

You cant leave Qatar just yet !!!

Novita,

At least he knows 28On/28Off, so he can make plans and appointments, and he can keep his word when makes plans.

But for me it's different, I'm more on a business requirement rotation, so basically, I can't make personal plans for a few hours ahead, and I'm fed up with cancelling social plans, and apologizing for cancelling presonal appointments.

And the activity this year seem to be so high, so I won't have enough time off, which is not gonna work for me, so I will be looking at some other offers with a fixed rotation (same as your brother) in the next few days.

Wish me luck with that, becuase if they didn't give me NOC, I will be heading back to Canada, but I wish to stay in Qatar.

:D

oabazeed ... my brother in law in Halul on 28/28. And he is quite happy with that.

Wise decision Novita, :)) I'm leaving this offshore life soon as well.

Thanks for the add BTW.

:D

no thank you oabazeed :P .

lol. it's fun, and relaxing...relaxing in many ways:

- No Driving

- No cars

- No phone calls as no mobiles allowed, I have three telephone lines, but still I can choose not to pick up, lol.

- Watching the endless sea is reaxing for sure.

- Sunrise & sunset is an extreme beautiful experience.

But in the other hand it's dangerous:

- Toxic/poisonous gases.

- Fire.

- High pressure in the wells and lines.

- Chemicals.

- Tough working conditions/ but high safety standards.

But generally, you never get bored, everyday is a new day, not similar to any other day, full of a new challenges, but I still miss my social life :)).

Novita, would you like to work offshore?, here I gave you the advantages and disadvantages :P, fair enough?

:D

oabazeed ... bet you enjoy looking at the sea :P

This is a different story, I'm offshore now because one of my clients is having some troubles in the operation, and I'm commited to stay until everything is done, and if everything goes as planned, I should be done within a week (hopefuly) :P

But in the normal cases I stay 1-2 weeks maximum offshore.

so how many more days before you can leave the platforms? are you working 7/7 or 28/28 ?

(Cleaning the house!!!!)

I can't imagine how my house looks like now... ;P, if it has been dusty since a few days then a big cleaning company should take care of it when I come back, I still don't know how the dust enters the house, when everything is completely locked :),

:D

we normally only hv this weather around 2 or 3 days, but been going on like this like forever.

i am giving up cleaning the house now :-(

Novita,

It's not an island, it's just in the middle of the gulf, some oilfield platforms, I can only describe my location by longitude & Latitude :))

But it's really strange today, considering we are in June, and rough sea, strong wind and more over that DUST.

:D

it was windy and dust a couple of days back

hi novita still busy in packing need any help
