State of the Union 2008

October saw me complete my second year at AJE here in Doha, time passes slowly in some respects (it sometimes feels like ive lived here a lifetime) and quickly in others.

My original game plan was to spend 2 years out here, but that time has passd

AJE as a channel continues at a break neck pace to where im not sure, HR & finance continue to continue at a pace that im not sure is measurable.

I got a big promotion this year, I now head up the Media Management Unit along with the many other jobs I do on a daily basis.

I discovered the joys of tailored clothes, thanks to my tailor here in Doha.

I returned to the garden festival, I traveled a lot.

The most significant person in my life moved to Doha, initially on a 3 month contract but fingers crossed on a full time basis into 2009.

Ru moved out of the Southbank flat, Kathrin moved in.

Sister bought a flat in Bermondsey, parental units left Romania and planning on heading to Abhu Dhabi in early 2009.


The future….

I head out on holiday to Hong Kong for a short trip in Jan 09. I’ve booked tickets for garden 09, have weddings in the UK other than that I think im going to be in doha for a while.
