Hi all

last post I said I resigned. So today, ive been working for a couple of weeks at the new company. And its fun. Its a nice atmosphere and people are friendly and they feed me. I get to do different things here, and Hopefully Ill be able to eventually get some of my other projects going I want to do. ill give more of an update later once ive worked here for a couple of months.

So, tomorrow, im leaving on a jetplane! Im going to germany, Staying in Stutgart and Goppingum (no clue of spelling!) and then we are off to Vienna to beat some other bands and to proove we areone of the best windbands in the world! I will be on jabber and twitter, and I will try and blog every couple of days, to keep an eye out!

Ooh, and I got a girl, more updates on this later

Anyhow, I need to do my last day of work before vanishing into europe!

So the other day I decided that I need a bigger playground to do my work in. Cybertek has done me wonders in the last 17 months. Its was quite enjoyable, but the excitement has now dried up.

So Thusa was looking for a sysadmin dude, And I decided to drop them a mail to see what their offer would be. After a couple of emails to and fro, They asked me to come and visit them to see what they offered. I must say, Im quite excited, They have quite a nice setup there, and I know 4 people who work there. And best of all is I get breakfast and Lunch! So today I handed in my resegnation after I received their contract. And Im quite excited.

Not long after I had accepted the offer, and told another company that I accepted thusas offer, the second company phoned me and tried to get me to join them, but at this moment , Thusa is more in the line of what I need. I hope to be occupied with it for quite a while, and they have enough scope so that I might not get bored quickly, which is what I enjoy.

ANyhow, Back to other updates of whats happened. We went to JHB for a tour with the KZNYO. It was quite a bit more interesting than I had thought. Its was three days of good rest and relaxation. with the cherrie of some stress on top, but thats what Im built for.

At this moment Im wating a dvd with some of the cast members from the musical I had taken part in. Quite nice to see some of the old faces.

Anyhow, I will start pretending to be more sociable now. CIao!

I know I ahvent updated my blog in a while… been kinda busy lately…

Recently, one of my orchestras (DTO)  in conjuction with Westville Boys high, Put on a production of Oklahoma. It was a crapload of work, But fun all round.

Some of our Oklahomies went camping (read rucus drinking). We went to waxies after most rehearsals(read rucus drinking). We had people calling the waitresses Cunts when the waitress thought we were waiving at her and lots of extra stupid things.

I believe Ive found my set of good male mates,  Ive never felt as good as I do with them in a long time. We can have intelligent conversations, Drink stylefully, and best of all, we all cook and love classical music. I would say were probably durbans classical music freaks :-),Then along with this ive also made new friends Like Shylo, with an absolutely gorgeous voice. And Ive distanced me from people who just cause too much bloody stress.

Ive taken on a new project, which one needs to be absolutely bonkers to take on. Me and one of the above mentions friends and a conductor intent on putting Mahler Symphony nr 8 (symphony of a thousand) on in Durban, By making use of all of the musical enteties in durban we can lay our hands on. Its going to be huge. Its going to be lots of work, And we will probably be extatic when it finished. We Want to get it broadcasted aswell.

Come the end of the month, I will be going on a tour with the KZNYO to eastrand. It will be interesting to see how this turns out… Some people are pessimistic. Im just seeing it as a nice and quiet long weekend

Anyhow, I need to pretend to work now, As Im the last standing senior employee here, as ralfe resigned, so yeah. Anyhow, Ciao

Yesterday I had a snoek braai where I invited my new standard geek clan (Andrea, Rodney,Duncan,David).

We made snoek with my apricot and butter sauce. And boerewors for the non snoek consumers.

My famous Sago Pudding was also made, which people seemed to enjoy. My brothers GF now wants training.

Was a fun day and we ended up playing scrabble. I just realized how much I sucked at scrabble…

Was quite tired after the whole day. and for some reason I ended up with a headache of note.

Alarm at work ended up being triggered like 7 times during the night. Which  Meant I got very little sleep.

In the time I was sleeping, I had a dream that I went to some form of a convention with one of the girls I met at KZNYO. Cuddeling enjoyed, and There was some big fiasco at the convention or something, and I took $girl home again, and not quite sure what happened, But two other popular guys popped up from somewhere. and they ended up getting the girl. Seems not even in my dreams do I successfully get the Girl in the end. I wonder if this isnt some form of mental Block or some crap.

Anyhow, I should pretend to work now. Some fools have arrived.

So, I thought I would join my 4 concurrent orchestra last year, For some extra fun, You all know how much spare time I have.

So they start the year off with a camp. I couldnt attend the whole camp, Due to My boss still being in the states, and I was left in charge(I dont like managing 40 year old babies) So I decided to drive up for two of the days where they practiced.

The committee was very friendly and accepting of the fact that I worked, and Marcelle, one of the committee said that I should rather sleep over that night instead. Which I ended up doing.

The Orchestra Is fairly Big, and is split into two Groups. Totalling about 75 members. Which Is awesome.

I made some awesome new friends, The one that probably is the best option for long term good friendship is Mary-anne. She Is anwesome girl, friendly and filled with lots off goodness, and is funny too!

We spent most of the day playing 007, and this got a wee monotonous. But it still was fun. I havent relaxed this much in ages, There was minimum work stress (as duncan could take the reigns from me for the day) And I actually slept well, Save the heat. All in all was a spectacular day.

That evening, I had a chat to one of the girls who was sick. Ended up that we took a photo together at the  rocky horror picture show. Was Really arb that we bumped into each other. Quite cool too, since when I posted the picture I actually made a comment stating I wonder weather We would ever track them down. And So I did. stalker point +1 :-p

I went back up on friday for the lat day of rehersal and their mini concert.

I arrived just before breakfast. I actually regretted not being able to be there the days before. Wouldnt have minded mingling with my new friends more.

We rehearsed, I had more chats with Mary-anne. And concert came and went, And the fun day had come to an end. On the way home my fanbelt snapped. But that wasnt a too major issue, as its easy to fix… Just need to have a spare on you at that moment…

Anyhow, my morning jogurt has run out, so I think I will pretend to work now

Friday night I went after a meeting at work to PMB to go and visit Rashmi, a friend who decided to move to springs for ther practicals for what ever flavor of medicine she did. She brought down her boy for us to meet. He is quite a nice bloke… Lots of fun was had and I ended up driving back to durban quite late.

Saturday was rather uneventfull.
Sunday was awesome, As awesome a day could be when you arent allowed to buy beer. It started with me wating a scifi series called firefly. Watched about three episode, then I went to buy meat, and went to a braai for the hackerspace.

The braai was down in dodgeville, down in amanzimtoti. I Arrived first at karls house. So I played with their pets and stuff, and chatted some crap. Duncan came next, and we ended up with rodney and terry coming last.

We talked alot of crap, Had some good meat, Julie made an awesome apple pudding. Not sure what was in it, but it was brilliant. We chatted some more, and then I got a call from the office saying something horribly was wrong with one of our big products, And I hadto go an fix.

The first problem came when I had to leave. They had a horribly steap diveway, and I had to reverse out of it. Karl ended up doing it as I was in a hurry, and he knew his driveway best.

As I left I was notified that this is a telkom issue and they had to resolve it, so I went along to a very dear friend of mine, Chantal, to deliver her christmas gift(no, im not pagan or christian, But I believe in the good gestures christmas shares.)

I expected to be there for about half an hour, maybe an hour max, but we started watching a very very dodgey show we both played in, and then watchedsome tv, and then, I got hooked into conversations with her parents and herself (mostly her parents tho). I was later informed that the mother liked me, so It was an awesome time, that even gave my ego a kickback…

I was fed the most awesome carrot cake, chatted more, and ended up leaving there only at about 21h30….

Got home, and my gate rings, and my brothers better half rang the bell and just decided to come and pitch there for the night even tho my brother hadnt yet returned…

When I got to the office this morning, I hear a strange beeping sound, And I see the place had been burgaled. Now I know the alarm went off last night, and my security company went there, and told me everything was OK, even tho my one window was crowbarred open and some other crap. Karma Bit me in the arse for some of my bad deeds probably, or the wheel turned and good times turned to bad. So I ended up faffing, and had to make a 40 min call to my boss in the states after the police had arrived.

I should mention some of the bad karma was probably me making another guy jealous by telling little bits of info that made him think I was hooking up with a amazingly stunningly beatifull flautist. Which I *unfortunately* didnt.
