Just as a parting gift…from my previous slave driver employer…I’d like to inform you of a dangerous virus doing the rounds and something which I have only recently been cured of.

A highly dangerous virus called “Weekly Overload Recreational Killer” (WORK) is currently going around.
 If you come in contact with this WORK VIRUS, you should immediately go to the nearest “Biological Anxiety Relief” (BAR) centre to take antidotes known as “Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract” (WINE), “Radioactive UnWORK Medicine” (RUM), “Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter” (BEER) or “Vaccino Officio Depression Killing Antigen” (VODKA )

Hope you all have a great weekend

Cheers

Only tomorrow left at the hell hole before I’m free!

Yes, my time at this office, which I was so excited to join last year has come to an end (finally) and next week I’ll be starting a new chapter in my life.

I forgot to mention when I told you about the new job, that it seems as if I’ll be working with a lot girls at the new place. I think I might be needing an attorney if they’re cute…you know, complaints about me (innocently) hitting on them 🙂 Lol nah, joking the lady will cut off my nuts!!

So as the time comes to an end I think I should reflect on how it was here. Ok rather not, I might just do a Luke Watson and puke on my gown (which we wear to court :-P)

Seeing as we stay in this beautiful but oh so insane country called South Africa I thought I’d send you guys a link so you can enjoy some of the craziness going on here.

Check out this link http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Gardener-posing-as-gynae-examines-women-20110929

Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you!

A gardener pretended to be a gynae and examined women who were about to pop out their progeny. How insane can that be.

It says that he asked them questions before examining them…I’d love to know what they were.

Ma’am I think your bush needs trimming, can I help? I can see that a seed has been planted, do you need assistance with extracting the fruit?

Ok I’m not very creative so feel free to come up with your own questions.

Have a wonderful day

Cheers

Just had to share lol.

Hope you all have an awesome day

Good morning all

Hope you had a great weekend and that you’re ready for the week ahead.

I’m struggling to keep my eyes open today…it happens when you spend all day on the beach and the evening sipping on a vase or two of Merlot. No worries though, I’ve perfected the art of sleeping with my eyes open so I’ll catch up soon.

Anyways, the weekend started off pretty chilled…Friday evening spend at home enjoying a couple of cold ones, you know, just to wash away the week J

Saturday morning my neighbours popped in and dropped off tickets for the WP v Cheetahs game as they had other commitments and couldn’t use their tickets. Score! Free tickets to go watch the rugby! So I phoned a buddy who said that he wanted to watch the game and we headed down to the stadium. Ok so WP had a kak game but at least we enjoyed ourselves there!

The evening we did the whole National Braai Day/Heritage Day thing and got the fire going and had ourselves a lekker time. All in all we had a good evening…although I had way too much to eat!

Yesterday we picked up the girls and drove down to Muizenberg…had an awesome time, just walking down the beach with some ice cream enjoying the good weather. When we got home we opened up some wine and just relaxed…that’s until W realised he lost his phone and wallet!

We searched both cars but couldn’t find it anywhere…eventually the conclusion was made that he must’ve dropped it somewhere in Muizenberg. Seeing as we’ve been at my place for about 3 hours we assumed that someone has scored big time…Nokia N8 plus a wallet which had about R400 in it!

When they left at about 10h00 I dropped off the lady and was on my way back home when W phoned to tell me that he dialled his number and someone picked up and told him that he had the phone and wallet with him and seeing as I’m the only one in the Southern Suburbs I had to make arrangements to retrieve them. I was more than happy to help until I phoned the good Samaritan! It turns out that, in order to get W’s possessions back, I had to drive right into the heart of Lavender Hill!! Now I’ve never been on that side as I try to avoid these notorious places and now I had to drive there at about 10h30 at night!!

I drove in and after numerous telephone calls asking for directions I drove into an area where there were flats all over and people walking around or standing on street corners. I was waiting for someone to smash my window and drag me out of my car but I had to push through and just believe I’ll get W’s things and be home safely.

I eventually found the guy and he gave me W’s phone and wallet. I checked the wallet and the money was gone…apparently the good Samaritan had to fight off other guys who wanted to take the things. Oh yes, W apparently left everything on a rock next to the car when we were getting rid of the sand. Lucky boy I tell you. I eventually gave the guy R300 ( I think he took the money in the wallet so that was enough) and drove home at the speed of light!

So there you have it…this farm boy drove right into gangster territory and made it out safely. That in a little car with Eastern Cape plates!

Hope you all have a super day!

Cheers for now

So I was browsing around the News24 website earlier today, still doing the slacking off thing, when I came across this article.

http://www.women24.com/LoveAndSex/Gay/Girl-on-girl-cheating-is-okay-20110131

Yes I know it’s on Women24 but excuse me for clicking on a link which had the words girl-on-girl in it. I didn’t read the entire article but I think I got the idea of what it all entails.

It seems as if we guys would be more inclined to forgive our partners for cheating if the other participant was a girl. Is this really so? Could we be so shallow?

Hell yes I say!

At first I was thinking maybe this should be a debate but then I just got the image of two girls kissing, in the shower wet all over…debate over!! Yes I would forgive her but only if she took pics and if I can be invited along for the next session hehe.

On a serious note though, my fellow guys…

Would you be upset if your girlfriend/wife did this?

One of the perks of everyone knowing that you’ll be leaving the office at the end of the month is that no-one asks you any questions when they see you leaving with a file.

Today I did just that, with a mumbled “going to court” excuse I went home to watch the Boks take on our neighbours in the World Cup. I must say, very impressed by the performance, more polished than the Fiji game and we managed to keep them scoreless. Feeling a bit more confident now, especially after the Wales game…think I should wear my Bok shirt tomorrow 🙂

Seeing as we’re all in the World Cup spirit and, I trust, giving the Boks our full support I thought I’d share a joke with you. It’s a Chuch Norris spin with some South African World Cup flavour. I’ve highlighted my favourites so feel free to pick your own.

Cheers for now

Good morning guys

Jeez I’ve been away from blogland for years! Well it feels like years lol

Hope you didn’t miss me too much…I kinda missed the craziness that is blogging and I think it’s time to go on a well earned stroll and catch up on what’s new around here.

Well if you haven’t picked up on it yet, I’m back and this time for good!!

First things first…

I got a new job and not just any job. As of the 3^rd of October I’ll be starting work as a in-house attorney in the litigation department of a big national company. This is a great opportunity and will open many doors for me. Added bonus is the package I’m receiving…not too shabby hey, but it’s not always about the money 😉 lol

Thanks for all the words of encouragement over the last couple of weeks, really helped me get through a tough time. Sometimes all you need to gather the energy and power through obstacles thrown in your path is just a friendly word from friendly people and you’re ready to take on anything. Once again thanks, you lot are great!

Ok enough of the thank you’s…I’m off to see whether you all have been behaving, not holding my breath though hehe.

Cheers

Hi guys, hope you’re doing great!

I’m still alive for those of you who care to know lol…

Anyways I’m busy finalising all my files which is why I haven’t really been online much. At least its only up until the end of the month.

Just an update on the jobhunt…

I’ve been sending my CV everywhere, every vacancy I see at whatever place! At the moment I’m feeling rather relaxed as a new opportunity has come which may serve as a very decent back up although it would place me back into being dependant on my folks.

You see a good friend of mine started his own practice last year and he’s struggling to get it up and running and there’s a possiblity that I may join him and see whether the two of us can make a success of it. The problem is that neither of us have any capital to get this going properly and at the moment he’s running on scraps he gets from clients who can’t really afford to pay you the money you deserve.

I also have another interview lined up for next week Monday and hopefully that would give me the security I need at the moment. Its not at a legal firm but within the legal field and it might turn out to be a very good opportunity. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!

As per usual here’s a quick joke before lunchtime

Cheers for now

A big game hunter went on a safari with his wife and mother-in-law.

One morning, while still deep in the jungle, the hunter’s wife awakened to
find her mother gone.

She woke her husband, and they both set off in search of the old woman.

In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight.

The mother-in-law was standing face to face with a ferocious lion.

“What are we going to do?” his horrified wife asked.

“Nothing,” her husband replied, “The lion got himself into this mess, let
him get himself out of it.”

Hey guys, hope all is well.

First of all I just want to say thanks for all the positive comments and words of encouragement. Really helped me to get out of that depressed state I found myself.

I’ve decided that I’m not going to sit back and wallow in self-pity but continue as I have before. If it works out it works out if it doesn’t, well it’s just going to be another obstacle or set-back I have to overcome. I’ve worked too hard to just let everything spiral out of control.

I will keep you guys updated with how the job hunt is going, so far I’ve been to one interview so I’m still waiting for them to get back to me, otherwise I have my CV all over Cape Town and all my friends are keeping a lookout for any opportunities. Keep your fingers crossed!

For now I just have an announcement to make…

Ladies, since it’s almost time for the rugby World Cup us guys decided that we need to send out a memo on behalf of all men to tell you what is expected of you during this time. Please print it out and keep it in a safe place…your relationship with your husband/boyfriend/toyboy might depend on it.

Please find the said memo below and read carefully.

Wonderful day to all

Cheers

RUGBY WORLD CUP RULES

Dear Women,

1. From 9 Sep to 23 October 2011, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations.
If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, the VCR and DVD are all mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me.If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won’t have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor….it won’t happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12pm and 3pm, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say ‘get over it, it’s only a game’, or ‘don’t worry, they’ll win next time’. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about rugby than me and your so called ‘words of encouragement’
will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during half-time but only when the commercials are on, and only if the half-time score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying ‘one’game; hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to ‘spend time together’.

8. The replays of the tries are very important. I don’t care if I have seen them or I haven’t seen them, I want to see them again. Many times, and record them.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying ‘but you have already seen this…why don’t you change the channel to something we can all watch??’ the reply will be: ‘Refer to Rule #2 of this list’.

12. Please save your expressions such as ‘Thank goodness the World Cup is only every 4 years’. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the reruns of the Rugby World Cup, etc etc.

13. And finally, if you are female and your “man” likes rugby less than you, he is not a real man and shall be bound by these rules and additionally be referred to as “the bitch” for the duration of the World Cup.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
Men of the world

Hi guys, hope you’re well

Its been a while hey?

I know my blog is normally about having fun, cracking a joke or two and check out some gorgeous bods which is why I had to take a break for a while. Just felt wrong to pretend to be happy and joyous when I felt like shit after being lied to and treated like crap.

Here’s what has happened over the last couple of days…

Sometime during the second week in August I got my order from the High Court to confirm that my admission was registered on the 5^th of August. I had to inform the Law Society of my plans ie whether or not I will be staying in practise or not so I went to my boss to discuss this and he asked if we could arrange some other time to get things sorted out. Well this kept on repeating itself until eventually I managed to “trap” him so we can get things done.

During this meeting he informs me that there is not enough work at the office and he cannot employ on a permanent basis. This after I ran this office by myself with him coming in for only a couple of hours per week!! I don’t even want to mention all the promises made during the year which kept me from accepting another very lucrative offer.

I really felt betrayed after this…couldn’t believe he went back on his word…but it got even worse. A couple of days later he calls me into the boardroom and tells me that September will be my last month at the office…once again after I was told I can stay until end October so I can look for other employment.

So there you have it. I’ve been played like a 50 year old piano! After working so hard and putting so much effort into everything I get absolutely fuck all to show for it. I now realise that what this bitch wanted was a year long holiday where he could rest assured that everything is running smoothly and that he’s just spending a couple of cents to keep it that way. The moment he had to spend more he decided to get his ass back to work and do the work himself. We all know candidate attorneys are used but this is a new low!

I now have until the end of the month to find alternative employment or…well I don’t know what I’ll do. Just to think that a couple of weeks ago I felt like all the hard work and sacrifices made, was all worth it and that my career will finally take off I’m left in this position. I still haven’t told my parents…just don’t want to get them as down and depressed as I am at the moment.

This must be the worst birthday I’ve ever had (yes its my birthday today)

I’m sorry I can’t give you guys the jokes you enjoy and I might not be around the blogs all the much for the next couple of weeks.

So cheers for now.
