Just to let everyone know.....the sand storm only lasted the one day. There was a fine reddish dust over everything the next day. God cleaned up the mess the best way He knows how....we had a good rain storm today to wash everything off.
I think another reason that I was given this job as assistant project manager for the Benghazi five star hotel was my mastery of the English language....yeah right. All of the documentation for the hotel project is to be in English. So another task that I have to do each day is review all of the daily, weekly and monthly reports, check all of the meeting minutes for our vast array of meetings that we have and review memos that go to the client and the general contractor.
Sometimes the phonetic spelling of my co-workers as they put together their draft copy for my review is quite amusing. For example we wanted to talk about the new concrete curb. They put "kerb". Technically they are right, since that is the British English spelling. They have a little trouble when to use "is" and "was". I noticed today that the taxi cabs have a sign on the top of their car "TAKSI". Today on the menu it had "milk sheik"....
So I guess I should have paid more attention in English class. You never know when other subjects from high school and college will pop up and be necessary (did I spell that right?? N.E.C.E.S.S.A.R.Y)
