  Some staff try to be helpful in a dysfunctional system.

  Are negative stars a thing? The minimum here is 1 star which still is undeserved. Dealing with the Embassy is as pleasurable as a visit to the dentist. Let's say you decide to call the embassy. Working hours are from 8am to 1pm, Sunday to Thursday (and please forgive the phone answering machine who tells you from Thursday to Sunday). What the embassy forgot to mention is that these are the working hours, but not the phone-answering hours. These remain obscure, and you are unlikely to reach a human voice. Now you decide to actually take time off your job (that's what we're doing in Doha, we're working actually) to pay the embassy a visit. Why not, you think to yourself. A nice old touch of our dear Lebanon abroad, you miss this from time to time. So you go there and meet the staff, and they swear by the roots of the cedar that they DO answer the phone. Maybe it's the bad phone lines in Qatar, who happen to be ten-thousand years more advanced than Lebanon's planned phone lines in 2050. But whatever. You're confident that finally on a face-to-face interaction you will get an answer to your query. Guess again. Consulting the embassy is like asking Maguy Farah for astrological predictions. At best, you will get an absurd approximation of an unsure answer. Be ready to hear lots of "maybe", "probably", "you can try", and "we don't know". At least you leave with the same impression as having visited any dysfunctional Lebanese department in Beirut, and you drive back to work feeling like a real Lebanese.
