Two years ago today

Bert started his new job as manager of the company he is now with.  We had already been in Abu Dhabi for some months working for an Australian based company.  It became clear it was never going to be viable and it was very timely when he was offered this position.  We flew home for him to resign hand in his computer, car keys and clean out his desk and straight back to Abu Dhabi (to the news of Shellys death).

The morning he was due to start, before he had even left the hotel room he got a text message to say 40 women had baricaded themselves in their rooms and were refusing to go to work, can you please sort this out?  It wasn't a good start.

This job has been such a fabulous opportunity for Bert.  He works insane hours and is always tired and stressed but he loves it.  He loves that he is able to make a difference in so many peoples lives.
