hmmm seems like everyone's stopped their blogs now.....or they're just lazy bastards ---> binome
went to my dad's rotary club on tuesday evening with Kathryn and two of my sisters to surprise him, coz he was receiving an award that he knew nothing about. something called the paul harris award, the highest thing you can get as a rotarian. so i'm quite proud. didnt realise he'd been doing rotary since 1981!
valentines was a rather day since kathryn and i each had to go to our respective places of learning and work, even though we saw each other briefly! saturday i'm taking her out for a surprise, all will be revealed later.....
been being sent out on calls quite regularly now, suppose it makes the day go faster, but it sucks when clients get cross with you coz you dont know something, its not my fault i havent been taught dammit!
Gir!

it's been a while
the weekend was great, spent all of it with kathryn :-) yesterday was funny, the md was in a bad mood so everyone stayed out of his way. trevor and i only had 3 calls, but we made them last the whole day, left the office at about 11, and only got back at about 16:30 heheh.
aargh these weeks are painfully long. going to pieter's housewarming on friday evening, bring and braai effect, should be a good way to end off the week. then saturday's a big family breakfast with kathryn's whole family, extended included.
still looking for a better job, well one thats closer to home! had a really good potential one in boston, but there arent any available positions :-( nic's found a new job, as has larry, so they're sorted. which reminds me i must still sort out tech for this year, see if there are actually any classes!
back to the grind....

helter skelter, in a summer swelter
well the last few days at work have been...well...boring to say the least. went out a few times last week, and this week i basically just drove waseem around. which isnt a bad thing, helps me kill time!
applied for a few jobs, some in stellenbosch, but the best so far is one in boston, which is the closest i'm likely to get ever! it should pay better and require less traveling too!
getting to work today was fun, as soon as i turn off the n1 into our street, there's metro police blocking our road. beautiful.so then i had to maneuver (i'm sure blogger's spelling of that is wrong) my way through the beautiful one way streets and unfriendly drivers of woodstock!
at least tomorrow evening i'm joining Kathryn for vensters in stellenbosch, she's moved into her flat as of yesterday, so we'll dinner together tomorrow - yum :)
here's hoping today's quick and my inbox is full!

left, right and center
well now they sending me on calls like its normal everyday thing, i'm getting call sheets in the morning and going to customers and sorting stuff out. so i guess they think i'm ready!
this heat is disgustingly sticky. spend 2 and a half hours yesterday waiting in a queue at tech to register, only to get told at 9:30 that heavy current ppl go here, and light current go there. and no they didnt care or know where computers ppl had to go. finally found a lecturer, who of course knew nothing at all. ended up in me not being able to register yet, coz they dont even know whether they're even offering part time subjects this year! completely disorganized, and useless. so i put my name down with cobus on a list to see if they'll offer managament 2 part time.
did manage to register for co-op tho
busy looking for another job with better traffic situation, and it seems that something either close to home or in stellenbosch would be the best. have been talking to someone at a recruitment agency about it, gonna phone her tonight to chat. would be nice not to have to spend 2 hours of my day in bumper to bumper traffic!
went to stellies yesterday with Kathryn, was flipping 42 degrees! eugh....

beep beep
eugh, another hot day in cape town, forecast 30 degrees for today, i'd say thats rather optimistic! spent the whole weekend at Kathryn's place, and when it gets hot here, it gets boiling there - 44 degrees, and 38 in the shade! ah the joys of a burning steering wheel under your hands! all in all was an excellent weekend, just chilling and vegging, needed the break.
and now its back to work again - another 5 days of fun. on friday one of the managers asked me if i was comfortable going out on calls by myself now, and well its not like it'd make a difference if i said no! so maybe they'll be sending me out today. i'm getting seriously sick of this job, the travelling and other rubbish every single day. gotta find somewhere closer to home, this job's killing me.
at least it sounds like ibit is beginning to take shape - mark's father is going to get adsl thru them, and so is mine hopefully - finally all-day-on internet - it's so useful! my dad still hasnt gotten his car from the garage guys, they still busy neatening it up or something.....lazy buggers

and heads will roll
this stuff about saddam's half-brother or whatever he was is pretty sick...his head just popping off when they've hung him....supposedly there's a video out of it too...not something i wanna see.
went for a drink with mark and gareth after work yesterday, good times. then went to gareth for coffee, nearly got accosted into helping his dad and uncle put their new cupboards up - their whole kitchen is ripped to shreds, and slowly being rebuilt. after that went to mark's place to swim in his now supposedly heated pool. it wasnt. so we tried running the garden hose from his kitchen tap to his pool outside to put hot water in, which with enough siphoning it surprisingly did work! just would take forever to have any effect.
my dad ordered a peugeot 407 yesterday, a silver one, 2.0 litre, should go quite nicely if i get to drive it, hope i'll also get to try his volvo before it gets sent away.
work's been pretty dull, going out on silly calls for stupid things, like people who's internet doesnt work coz they unplug their network cables....
must register for tech sometime....and for co-op, else all this will be a waste!
