Well, first I have to apologize for what will transpire in the coming weeks. Those of you (if any) who actually read my blog will have noticed that the events being posted about are a little 'out of date'. This is because I have not been a good little blogger and have not been faithfully recording events in a timely fashion as they unfold. There has been a bit of a 'lag'. I blame the lack of bandwidth (ie time) of reality. But, I have been doing a lot of 'stuf' and keeping myself busy with lots of 'blogworthy' things. So the apology conferred to this blogs readership is to cover the 'temporal inconsistency' in the following weeks (?). As there has been many notable changes in my life, I will be blogging about the present, as well as trying to 'catch up' with the gone days of 2011. So, please. be patient as we try and achieve this.
Thanks,
The management.
The first thing that is noteworthy is my change in employment. I no longer am employed by the colleges of applied sciences in Nizwa. I now work for the 'Flagship' university in Oman, Sultan Qaboos University. In the short time I have been here, it has already been a total pleasure. The University is just that, with all the facilities and resources one would come to expect from such an institution. Needless to say, it is a drastic improvement over the other locations in which I have previously been employed.
With the change in job, came the necessity to relocate. I now live in Muscat, the capital of Oman. My flat, which is pretty nifty, is located in a section of Muscat called Althaiba (pronounced Azaiba). I'm about a 195 second walk to the beach and pretty central to the city on the shore-side (It's right by the B on the map. It's pretty sweet not having to drive an hour-and-a-half each way to get cheese and coffee. It's a bit of a hike to work (25 min), but i think it's well worth it.
View Larger Map I've been here about a 10 days now, and am still in the 'settling in' period. I have loads to do with my new job and new flat. So, if you all will be so kind as to let me get on with that. And as I stated before, please accept my apologies for the 'temporally displaced' posts that will follow
