bdn007 - what is it and why?

I landed in Qatar on Friday 29 Sep 2006 to get ready for my first day of work at Maersk Oil Qatar on Sun 01 Oct. At that time, Qatar Airways had 4 flights a week, that explained the half of the reason why I came early. The other half is that I wanted to spend sometime with my friends, who I met in Baku.

Unbeknown to me, my fate is tied to bnd007. It is the initials that assigned to each and everyone. It is something very Danish I believe. It has become my identifier, my email and almost everything at work. I think it’s very practical in a multinational working environment. Being a Danish company, there were a lot of Danes and Scandinavians, the oil industry was also dominated by Scotish and English speaking men. Being in the Middle East, we had a lot of Indian colleagues, beside Filipino and Arab speaking folks.
