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
