Al-Obaid Exports is based in the City Centre building on The Mall. We are up on the sixth floor, in units 608 and 609. It is a bit different being in a bigger building like this compared to the street markets downstairs. We have a bit more space to breathe, but the work is still the same. We spend most of our time coordinating exports and making sure all the documentation is right. The view from the sixth floor is okay, but we are usually too busy to look out the window much. There is a lot of back and forth with shipping agents and local suppliers. We keep our office fairly simple. There are some desks, some filing cabinets, and a place for the staff to have their tea and rest for a bit. It is a professional enough environment but we do not go overboard with the decor or fancy furniture. We just want to get the orders processed without any mistakes. Dealing with the traffic on The Mall can be a headache sometimes, especially in the evenings. We have our routine and we stick to it. It is just a steady business where we focus on the tasks at hand every day. We keep our records in order and make sure the phone is answered. It is a practical life for us here on the sixth floor.
