Yep. In the Ramee Guestline Hotel in Qurm. Much cheapness. Just on the beach below the Crowne Plaza - there was a decent Japengos on that beach too back in 2009

Muscat is very nice.

Scamp, good luck with the new job. Use the time whilst you are home alone and the mrs is at work to beat the meat relentlessly infront of the VPN'd TV.

Psychopathic, pathological liar for a boss + a Scamp that doesn't feel the need to take shit off the aforementioned + random call from new company with a job that sounds much more interesting and rewarding + slight pay rise + signing on bonus = No Contest.

Getting zero notice pay sucks but options were to work full 4 weeks notice doing data entry / tea making and get no commission OR leave immediately this arvo and get all commission owed and no working notice.

Commission is over double my salary so it's an added no contest.
Well Scamp I can't say I am surprised by all this as the job didn't sound right from day 1 when you were working illegally for months!! You're not a true ME expat until something like this happens so put it down to experience. Good luck with the new job - at least you have something lined up unlike many that it happens to.

Yes, there's a Rock Bottom http://www.muscatmutterings.com/2010...et-driver.html and a Japengo's in Muscat

if you're thinking about booking a trip in November to Muscat, book your accommodation now as (a) National Day - holidays declared prob 27/28 November and (b) Islamic New Year plus the fab weather will mean it fills up quickly.

My doctor has been feeling really ill for some time. Some other doctor he didn't know rang him out of the blue, and said "Take these pills, you'll feel much better", which he did, and he did.

Touché. Sounded a bit arrogant to say they'd chased me for 12 months though....

Dole?

Unpaid. Sort of. Doha is dull, you come here and buy me a pint. I can't afford one.
