Sherry, don't worry about the cooookies, ok? Type you a nice long response, but when I went to capitalize something, I hit the tab or something and lost it all. Let's hope I am not posting twice. Anyways, those in charge had said 4-6 months; however, since the visa is up the 23rd of January and the one in charge of getting me an extension has not, I will be coming home then. There is a large program starting in April, and word was that would be when it was critical that I be here. It appears that the problems with the logistics I was sent here to attempt a find/fix of was wanted by some, but others don't seem to want things fixed or found. Let it go just isn't my way. When and if I return to Jeddah is still to be determined. Money is good, but almost not good enough. Kinda bored tonight, so maybe I will go cause a ruckus at McDonalds; last year it was kind of fun. I was asked to leave because of the hamburger thing I told you guys about. Anyway, on the odd days I can't stand it, but on the even ones I enjoy the sun and beach. Looking forward to normal people. Have begun studying Arabic, I like languages. Spanish, Japanese, now this one.
