I knight you ma'am and dub thee Your Highness

Long time no blog... Theres been lots of stuff happenin but I just couldnt be bothered to talk about it right now. But I will bother to talk about this: We had a MAJOR virus attack since Wednesday. Affected all my company's offices across the entire sub saharan africa. Computers were freezing and shutting down all over the world. Well, my company's world at least. BUT I. YES I. Single handedly located the culprit file...and killed it: libsys32.exe Makes your PC shutdown after 60 secs. Well apparently the solution was found somewhere in Sweden 24 hrs after its first occurence and the patch disseminated throughout the company but since we are only a tiny subsidiary office doing nothing to annual global sales figures nobody bothered to inform us. Anyway, still. Take NOTHING away from me. I FOUND IT. A raise would do nicely thank you very much. A few extra zeroes for yet another nobel prize worthy performance. I'm too good for this job. Although i still can't sell for sh...

All in a day’s work

Ah, another exciting day at the office. Mondays. Don’t you just love them? They are the cherry on top of what was just starting to be a lovely weekend. Oh, how I look forward to Monday morning meetings. Just spent the last 2 hours in one of those delightful beginning of the week reunions with my wonderful co-workers. I just luuuv Mondays for the emails that greet you as you login. Truly a sight for sore eyes. You look though the list of 30 emails that somehow appeared in your inbox although it was weekend and people should have been at home making sweet sweet luv to their wives, wiping the snot off their baby's nose or being walked by the dog. But noo…they at work on Sunday ensuring that I get reminded of that proposal I promised to send as soon as I stepped into the office on Monday. But still, being remembered on a Sunday…even God doesn’t get that treatment these days…how special I must be. And as soon as I manage to get though the pile of lovely weekend thoughts, I get a reminde...

SSDD

i’ve been feeling kinda down for the last couple of days and although I never frown this is a depressing phase i know i’m not the first to go through a bad patch yet I feel I must be cursed but its nothing you can catch there is nothing to live for is the way it seems to me life's a major freaking bore with only work and TV i know exactly what is wrong but there’s nothing I can do short of sucking on a bong and popping a few pills too S ame S hit D ifferent D ay is what I’m suffering from life’s a million shades of grey just a series of humdrum i figured if I died this feeling would go away coz I’m really sick and tired of going through this every day so why not end it all i ask myself today why not walk to the edge and fall the voice in my head seems to say she’s never going to do it you’re probably starting to think true, my dad would have a fit but I still need to see a shrink because the way things are looking even if I survive the week soon of death I will be thinking if my fu...

Bride of Chucky

Does marriage mean abandoning your friends? Does it mean giving up your independence and individuality? Is it a license for you to be a psycho bitch to those who care about you and your social life? And what's the deal with all the WE…. We this, we that…how about just I ….just one fucking I . As in I went to the toilet. One of my closest friends just got hitched. And I’m not liking it. Not one bit. Suddenly its Phil this and Phil that and Phil doesn’t think we should go out tonight… Well, PHIL: I used to see her about twice a week when we would go on our lunch break together, or catch a movie or a drink or two after work. She’s been married a month but I haven’t seen her once since the blessed event. Understandably they may still be honeymooning and between the marathon sexcapades and working to pay the bills there isn’t much time for anything else. I’m an understanding person and “I was having sex” is indeed a valid excuse for absolutely everything under the sun. It would be o...

Help!!!

STRESSSSSSS!! Fuck i'm stressed. I'm on my third ciggie (that means going down a million stairs and outside into the rain and gale force winds) and third cup of black coffee. My phone is ringing off the hook and i'm having double vision. Our client has left everything till the last minute and now they are stressing me out big time to come up with a million reports, proposals and the rest of that crap. BEFORE 5pm. WTF?? !??? They are our only client. They call, we run. But i got bigger fish whales to fry. They owe us loads of money so we cant pay our debts and the tax officers are knocking on our door. In addition, big bloopers from our sister/mother company in South Africa means we owe customs millions of $$$ in fines because we didnt follow the rules of importation. if we dont pay by Friday they are SHUTTING US DOWN even though its SAs fault. We are a tiny subsidiary office, a few million in debt and we are going under. Right now I'm just going to chill out at my desk...

Home Alone

I woke up fresh and perky this morning after a weekend of blissful nothingness. My aunt, her hubby and their kids spent the weekend away (yay!) at her mom's. There was no "you really need to stop smoking" every single time I lit up, with me thinking why is this conversation so familiar? Oh yeah, that’s right, we had it 5 minutes ago. No having to sit though their new shared passion: kicking back and watching golf all weekend - BOooooring! They're only in their mid-thirties but they've obviously been slapped in the ass by the Old Married Couple Syndrome. Ah, nothing like a weekend left to my own devises. I just stayed in, did my long overdue laundry (i was already deep into my reserve of stringy and seam-less 20 year old undies), I preened, cut my nails and watched a gazillion DVDs. I particularly enjoyed Hitch . 2 words for you: Eva Mendez. Need I say more? YUMMAY! Especially in those glasses. When you have your own place, personal space is something you take for...
