Like I was saying the other day, here in Libya it doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm off for some lunch in a minute and then I have to catch a plane home. Yippee!

LOL! Really can't understand how people can eat curries in the office for a "working lunch"... but that's just me and my non multi-cultural credentials, I guess.
Thats the thing, we dont have a 'working lunch' our work hours are exactly the same....

But then I am simple folks, what do I know!
Privately speaking a lot more than some of the very simple folk in charge it appears . Good luck .

Surprised to find the Knowledge Village food court open as usual... heard the Internet City one is, too.

Thanks for the great gesture guys- highly appreciated.

Today was quite possibly the most difficult fast Ive had to date...

Just to touch on the earlier conversation.... I'm a Muslim expat and I don't get shorter working hours (I do 8am-6pm) nor have I asked for them.

1. They would probably disprove
2. If I leave work at 3 then all my colleagues will be chasing my clients... can't have that now... no no
