The electronic world of computer workings continues to be a challenge.
Despite "cleaning up" some aspects of this electronic beast on which I am typing I am still unable to download pictures to the blog site. Part II of the trip to Berlin will have to wait.
Now to the issue of TGIW versus TGIT, or TGIF at home.
Confusing?
Most places in the world celebrate TGIF, with the work week Monday to Friday (hence TGIF).
The Arabian peninsula for some time remained out of step with the work days Saturday to Wednesday (hence TGIW) with the weekend being Thursday/Friday, as Friday is the holy day.
Make sense?
However being out of step to most of the world created some issues in communications as transactions elsewhere only allowed three in common working days.
Ah, so what happened next?
The rest of the Arabian peninsula (eg. Dubai), but not the Magic Kingdom, switched their weekend to Friday/Saturday.
So now there were four working days in common to the rest of the world.
This month however, with a week's notice, the whole kingdom switched to the Sunday to Thursday work week (hence TGIT).
The weekend is now Friday/Saturday.
Has the sudden change created some challenges?
You do the scenario.
