Interesting

My friend Linda and I have a favourite word about all the weird and wonderful things that happen in this country, that often amazes us, mostly surprises us, and even bewilders us - "interesting". It really covers most things very well!

This week there was one of those interesting announcements - the UAE is moving their weekend from Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday! So this means there will be a 4,5 day workweek, with Fridays only being half days.
The interesting part here of course is that this news came with only three weeks notice - this change is happening already on the 1st of January!

The change considers government workers and schools to start with, but the private sector is expected to follow suit and adjust their weekends too.
We have already got confirmation that the new-look school week will be introduced already from the start of the next term, which I guess means our Christmas holidays just got extended with one day, ha ha!
Interesting, to say the least.
