Man vs The Machine!
As you may remember, I had my interview for the US Visa last weekend which was a tedious and long-winded process, even though I'm sure I 'll be happy when I get a JFK flight on my roster next month! Anyway to cut a crappy long story short, I had to go back the next day to collect my passport "after 2pm." So I rock up to the embassy at 2.45 on Sunday expecting to pick it up, to find they closed 15 minutes prior! Basically this left me without the ability to work on my flight to Uganda the next morning and Emirates marked me as ABSENT! This is about the worst thing that can be dished out to anyone, and can affect promotion, rosters and will cost me about $250 as a penalty when essentially I didn't do anything wrong. I am currently fighting the battle to have the absent days reversed and converted to ordinary days off.
The plus side of this is the eight days I've had in Dubai with nothing to do but sleep in, eat out, go clubbing and general mischief. I thought I would introduce or re-aquaint you with some of my good Dubai friends.
