Thanks for asking. Actually, they tried to screw me worse than I expected. Not only do I get no compensation, but they are asking for my furniture allowance back because apparently it's for 4 years, and since I only worked 1.25 years they want 75% of it back. The fact that I was only on a two year ...

Redbull and Vodka. What a combination! I'm not a fan though.

Its the humidity that makes it gross and miserable. I would say Mid July to late August is the WORST.

Yes I agree. It totally depends on what kind of lifestyle your used to. Tell you what I was at 50k/month plus vehicle and my wife had a job too. The money was nice but the ridiculous rent we paid was insane. We had never lived in a high rise before. So it was quite an adjustment especially for my ki...

I agree with you here, but only if you are talking about back home. I left a perfectly good job and packed up my life to come here. That is where the expectations of higher salaries come from. If you're earning the same money as back home then there would be no incentive to move to Dubai. Plus you ...

Lets change the usually into always, then it will be a safer road for us all.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Follow the rules, obey speed limit, and a little patience.

Been lots happening of late with most users. Myself, have not posted in months due to no time really. I'll let Dr.D know tomorrow. It's funny, but proof how much people mess around at work. As soon as people started losing jobs, the posting dropped off. As a sidebar, Sagey...we're not neighbours an...

Oh, and it does not take months. I filed a case...mediation 5 days later, second visit to MoL where I demanded court was 3 days. Court case was assigned within 2 weeks. Court here is a game of wits. It costs the employee NOTHING, but the employer must pay all fees win or lose. As someone who has be...

Today was the second day in a row of 112 degrees in this desert. Absolutely aweful!!!!!!!!! But with only 10% humidity though. I remember July/August was THE WORST time in Dubai with temps over 110 degrees and over 70% humidty. That makes it a 1000 times worse than here.

Funny you bring this up, i recently read that because of the recession people in the States are cutting back and doing with "basics" and are much happier. Some even say that when the economy in the States goes up, they plan to continue the way they found themselves "forced" to l...

I've also noticed that in general people lack a purpose in life. We are bred to believe that education, a job....is our purpose for existance. Take away the job, family and you'll see that people (including myself) are as empty as a potato sack. Maybe it's this point where poeple turn to religion t...

What happened to the train service at Palm Jumeira? I never heard if it was a success/failure!!!!

Possibly one of the shifting changes could be personal "values". Seems people have lost values that were meaningful and now have what I would called "misplaced values". Life isn't about having the lastest everything and replacing last month's model with this month's model. By ha...

BB, that's quite laughable considering half my family are American! Didn't know that now did you?! And in many States. And to the other douche - yeah I cn get a visa actually!

Hey Osama. I didn't ask to be judged by you. So shut your hole before CIA tracks you down.

You use a credi...

Iraqis deserved it. I'm kinda disappointed in our military, we should've blown up all those cars.

Hi guys I was just checkin in. I know its been a long time. I can't beleive this loser is still lurking around and ****** all over the forum. What baffles my mind is he has so much time to sit all day in front a computer all day long. Just imagine how much he posts on a forum that has nothing to do ...
