Then, I knew he would be here, I see Mike and he is on the phone with his wife and I yell and he turns and comes and finishes his conversation with her and then talks to me a little - and tells me he will see me later - he knows I am at Virginia house - he is upstairs from me on the third floor. Such a tease in a way but what the hell - i'm quite certain Adil will not be coming to dubai so might as well enjoy a little flirtatious energy, thus is my rationalization.
My roommate - one of them - is tired and is napping so I need to be quiet - my fingers are tapping the keys but I don't think the sound of them is drifting across the room - the air conditioner is turned on very low as she gets very hot when she sleeps - there is a reason. I used to hear Mike's keys tapping hard on the keyboard as he wrote his long and carefully corrected emails with typos sometimes still slipping through. It is a little strange to still be here but not be there and I don't know what will happen but I just get to keep doing whatever and showing up and walking around and drinking coffee and reading books and staying warm and dry and soon I will be in Dubai. It is warm and sunny there - there I will try to swim in the pool and get my eyebrows done and maybe a trim as my hair is dry and brittle and probably very split in the ends. In the end, who knows what will happen - where I will be. what I will do won't change much but merely the location of the work. still, first is vacation and ocean and sitting and breathing it in - hopefully quiet germans and not loud drunken ones but when on vacation, it doesn't matter - I don't have to be up at 630 - or even 7 - though on saturday up at 4:30 or 5. I have my egyptian coffee which isn't great but is better than nothing - I can have a cup before I get picked up by motorpool and taken to CAC by 5:20 and then picked up again for the airport...
