It did not ask me for my surname! And I don't have a second name. Not 100% sure on the Latin spelling of my grandfather's name either (leave alone the fact that I had no idea whether they wanted a first name or a surname). <BR/><BR/>Yet, I couldn't fake my surprise either.Bravecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932093650702632210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-41774332757255696892008-12-23T23:29:00.000+03:002008-12-23T23:29:00.000+03:00wait in a queue at 4.00 in the morning , by 6.00 ...wait in a queue at 4.00 in the morning , by 6.00 someone will come with 50 tokens for that particular day.

A 'usually reliable source' told me this morning that an Emirati colleague went to register dressed in shirt and tie. An Emirati official refused to deal with him as he was showing disrespect to his country by being dressed in such a manner.<BR/><BR/><BR/>By the way, that 'famous name' thing I suspect is taken from other websites without anyone actually understanding it. You know, the sites that ask you for a famous name, or a cartoon character, or your mother's maiden name...a security thing which you may be asked to quote at a later date when you want to access the site.<BR/><BR/>I think EIDA have just added it but don't really know why.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-53471279881123922912008-11-20T05:05:00.000+03:002008-11-20T05:05:00.000+03:00Qasemi has to be the biggest joker of the lot.

This is job creation for Nationals. Doing it entirely online doesn't give them any opportunity to practice their skills in arrogance, rudeness, unhelpfulness and sheer idleness. It also wouldn't allow us to see them to spend hours on their mobile while we stand patiently in front of them waiting for them to finish because its their country and they can do what they like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
