UAE bureaucracy 101 💩

So I haven't been moved there but I've already experienced a dosage of UAE bullshit.  Everyone who moves there needs to get their degree attested at the UAE embassy of the country where you obtained your degree from.  In my case, it's Australia.  Except I don't live there anymore.  I tried to get it attested at the UAE embassy in Singapore, of which they replied they do not attest foreign documents and the only way for me to get this done is to either fly to Australia or find a lawyer.  Of course, I'm not going to do this so I've told the recruiter either you or the company who is hiring me do it or forget about me moving.  Take note that this recruiter was continuously email / ringing me for a whole week (some people would call this stalking or hassling, but no, this person does not know how to behave and thinks calling someone 3x a day and emailing them a whole week is normal!) before I finally replied to him and when I did he was so happy it was ridiculous.  Obviously signing me on would mean a big deal to his paycheck.  It's so obvious.
