Some Truths About Kuwait

1. There is rarely, if ever, a sense of urgency.
2. Shortcuts will unapologetically be taken whenever possible, even at the expense of quality.
3. It is important to know rules #1 and #2 when living in Kuwait.

For example, I went to pick up my suit today.  This was the second time I've gone to pick it up (see #1).  I was most recently told it would be ready by Tuesday.  The suit looks great, except the working button holes on the sleeves I requested weren't made (see #2).  When I first arrived and bought my first suit the button holes weren't made and I accepted a lesser product... but not this time.

So, fingers crossed tomorrow afternoon the suit will be ready...  want to make a bet?
