I have started A new job as a consultant/contractor working for Al Mafraq hospital in the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. It is a 45 minute drive - KM out towards Al Ain in the suburbs. It is all desert and 2 huge tracts of land that is being developed to house up to 250,000 people in the future. All large villa compounds of several houses enclosed by a tall wall . Each villa compound is about 1/3 the size of a normal US city block. Then you have several lots being empty, then another compound of villas. This goes on for like 20 miles in all directions, there are sewer plants, water plants, some new shoppng malls and some schools and a lot of sand....the hospital is about the same size as Marta's hospital and they have just broke ground on a brand new hospital with 3 large towers.
I am consulting on the Patient Financial System's front end of Admitting departments. It is challenging and we have a new computer system going in later this year. I will enjoy it.
The drive is fairly easy, a straight shot down 1 road about 20 Km, then 1 turn to a different highway for 10 Km, then the offramp and I am at the hospital..Cars race up to 120 mph all the time. Keep out of the fast lane, I read about the arrest of a kid doing 230 KM per mile in his Ferrari, they impounded his car as this was not the first time he got caught speeding.
So no more laying around the house in my pajamas and going to the beach every day....I am happy
