Our man in Qatar

I have been nominated for a medium term secondment to the Middle East, specifically Qatar. We have an abundance of work in that region at the moment and our offices are just screaming out for qualified staff. Apparently, now that I have been here for three and a half years, I'm finally qualified enough[1].

Overseas opportunities were one of the reasons I took this job, and I have been bugging my bosses about it since joining, so there's no question that I'm keen to go. I am, however, aware that everything will probably fall through at the last minute. I'm not getting my hopes up. It would be cool though. They're discussing my deployment right now. I imagine I'll hear either way during the next couple of weeks.
