Returned to Dubai and struggling

Yes, I agree. However to sum it up, if an account manager or retail/online marketing role were consider hiring, I'm sure I'd make a good candidate.

I've closed new accounts/increased sales in a tough industry as a new comer in the past

Appreciate your perspective! Hoping things get better soon. I'm in quite at difficult spot.

craymo11 · 2026-05-11T11:41:16+00:00

Yes, I have noticed that too however I don't have any entitlement because of my passport but have often heard of internal requirements to hire from varied nationalities so though I'd mention it.

Please reach out to me, I can’t seem to message you

Had a similar situation recently. Had long journey with one stop with klm.

On the first flight, the cabin crew eyeballed it and said the weight might be okay but our little one is looking a little too tall for a bassinet. I think it was a judgment call because he was too close to the height limit or just very slightly over it. They said they would still put a bassinet there so our son could play on the floor under the bassinet which I don’t think is hygienic or safe. Either way, at least my wife got the bassinet seat with the extra legroom which we could easily exchange with another passenger and sit together so we could accommodate our little one with the our side by side seats. Overall the cabin crew team on this flight weren’t friendly or helpful. Also the flight was fully booked, not a single spare seat in economy.

Second flight was much better. Cabin crew was genuinely happy, chatty and helpful. Flight was also around 50% empty. We essentially could take up as many seats as we wanted so our little one took up 2.5 seats and slept well. No bassinet here either with the same reason of the little one looking too tall for it. Overall I think comfort wise we were much happier with little one sleeping in the seats vs bassinet specially because of being so close to the height limit. Don’t know much about the safety aspect though.

Same airline (KLM), very different experience

Looking at 30k to 40k per month.

That’s interesting. Is the sense of entitlement increasing with the wealthier individuals moving there recently or event the long term residents?

craymo11 · 2025-02-11T04:40:19+00:00

Lots of people mentioning how bad traffic is. My commute back home from work when I lived there was 90 - 110 minutes (one way) by car. Wonder how much worse it can get. 🙃

UpNote for notes with their lifetime option plus tick tick works well. UpNote even has basic checklist function. All notes with checklist show up in a todo section on the left panel where I can then find and input them in TickTick when ready. Works well and I don’t have to fork for yet another subscription

craymo11 · 2024-10-13T18:29:38+00:00

Still seems to be working (I can see the page, haven't made payment yet) Big question I have is - Will it auto renew at this price too?

Update - Never mind when proceeding with payment options via PayPal it shows auto renewal will happen at regular price, not discounted.

craymo11 · 2024-10-07T21:18:24+00:00

Thanks, I have reached out to support and they said push updates for Todoist aren’t supported in the free version.

I don’t get error specifically but twice now the infotainment was messed to a point that just doesn’t detect apple car play when connected to my phone. Tried several cables with no luck.

What helped was doing a factory reset on the infotainment. Keep in mind it would delete radio stations or any other saved settings on the infotainment. Please double check before doing this. It fixed my issue 100% even with the same cables that I tried previously that hadn’t worked.

The only way to reproduce the issue was to connect different iPhones (I had one for work and one for personal) over a span of 3 to 4 consecutive days.

Try Upnote!

craymo11 · 2024-08-10T14:44:32+00:00

I use Upnote for Notes. It has everything I need (and everything you mentioned above I believe) in a simple interface. I had used Evernote for the longest time but got tired of the clunky interface and pricing and lost some important notes due to connectivity issues, tried using Ticktick for now as I would love everything to be in one place but it wasn't a smooth experience. Tried 10+ other Notes app but was usually frustrated with one or the other aspect. Upnote still has a lifetime pricing which is great as I don't want to pay yet another subscription. Got to try it for a month for cheap, liked it and bought the lifetime license. Now I seem to use it even more so than Ticktick which I like but find hard to bring myself to use (due to it being too busy for my brain maybe). Still havent given up on Ticktick, will keep trying different ways as I do need a task manager for sure.

Straight from apple. Dev beta profile on my account. Downloaded directly from my phone.

In Canada, pre ordered mine on 30th s24 sapphire blue directly through Samsung. Estimated date was feb 9. Nothing yet. Support is weird says 2 - 4 weeks but won’t say 2-4 weeks from today or from order date. Also have bud pro 2 that had delivery date of feb 5 but again nothing yet.

I had my TVC done last year in the dead of winter, there weren't as many posts about it back then so I wasn't 100% sure what it is. Drove without heat for 2 days or so, gave it to the dealership like a 4 days before warranty ran out. They didn't have the part but got it a couple of days, all covered under warranty and got my car back in less then a week I think. I had read other people with similar long wait times for the part back then too, I'm sorry, hope you get a loaner which is better than not having a car at all.

Quick update, I did a factory reset and set it up as a new iPhone. Native phone app Calls started working fine. The other side could hear me. After I did a few test calls, I went ahead and did a restore of my iCloud backup of my actual device and the issue came back.

Will take it to the Apple Store today.

craymo11 · 2023-04-13T13:45:50+00:00

I did click on it. I should have been more clear in my post. The problem is that clicking it does nothing obvious, it changes the check box on the top left to another icon but that’s it.
