Happy

I'm so happy and Lucky that I don't need to go stand in any ques today. Why not today you might ask? Well here in South Africa Today is the Cutoff date for firearm license renewals. This means that after this you cannot convert your old Law License to the New 2000 Law License…Which means that there's a lot of people, standing in ques today…Just a little bit of information regarding said ques:

 

A Colleague of mine went to the police station to get sorted out. He arrived at 05h00 AM, and the que was 3 blocks long (Each block being 300m in length) By the time we called him to find out how things are going, it was about 11h00 AM. They have started moving, but when he looked back, he couldn't see the end of the que.

 

When standing in these ques I'm imagining that the worst problem is Toilet Facilities…Imagine everyone needting to relieve themselves because they have been standing in front of closed doors for the majority of the evening, waiting. Each bringing his flask of coffee…

 

So I'm glad I don't need to go stand in ques today…

So they screwed up...

The Builders…Why do they ALWAYS do this to me? Just as I get close to the finish line, some kind of screw-up stops us from finishing this work. I honestly don't know when we're going to finish this cabling.

 

They'll have to break down a wall or two, fix the piping, and rebuild…what fun that promises to be…

And We're Back

And what a weeken it's been! I'm just glad to be back at work again today. Honestly I am, but not for the work, but purely for the fact that today means the Camping & Fishing weekend's just THAT much closer…

 

We'll be visiting Donaldson Dam again, and I'm hoping to better my Personal Best of 10.1kg. I'm wishing for something in the line of 'n 14/15kg monster. Something that will last me a bit. That would make the trip at least a little bit better.

 

I'll have to get my claws onto some maize, so that I can start preparing. Mother gave me a second slow cooker this weekend. She was planning on dumping it, and I decided to take it. This just means I can now cook at double the normal pace, especially if/when I put the Pressure cooker on as well (also A gift from Mother).

 

Ok, back to work. This week's going to be hectic (To say the very least). I need to get my projects off the ground today. Luckily that all seems on track as my 2 little laborers arrived bright and early. I just need to put these two to work, and all will be right with the world.

 

Anyway, hope your day is as good as mine…

And the pace Increases

So we come and dump another load of stuff on your lap. Just for the fun of it I presume?

 

I have just been given Project Number 4, also to be Completed in the previously mentioned 8 days. This ought to be interesting. At least I'm not working this weekend, so there's a bit of time to get away from work...

Rat Race...It never ends

So, once again we're in the fast lane. Everything going at a Boeing's pace, and no one caring to let you stop and take a breather...

 

I've got 8 days to get about 3 projects off the ground and finished in the same time. Thus I know I'm going to be majorly sleep deprived and in the near future probably forget what my house looks like. Luckily then I'm off for 4 days of fishing. And what a pleasure that's going to be. Sitting, fishing, eating...sleeping...

So I post again

And for what it's worth, I missed posting, so sorry to those that miss it! I feel your pain.

This last few weeks have been very interesting to me. Have been doing a lot of research, and I'm planning on converting a satellite branch of ours from Windows Server 2k3 to Ubuntu in the near future. I don't even think they will notice this, as They currently use the machine ONLY for windows Shares (So don't ask me why the even HAVE that machine...

Today should be relatively quiet, with only a few meetings on the horizon. Let's hope I can stay under the radar...
