The Mafia are back in town now that Italy draw with New Zealand but Portugal brought some pride back into the European teams this afternoon. Sophia's rear tyre was flat this morning and I did not notice it until I was some way down the road. I am sure the Mafia did not get into my garage over the weekend. I better question Daleen about it.
The day after South Africa's tragic loss to Uruguay in the soccer world cup, the buzzing of the vuvuzelas was strangely missing. But at Metrorail, the buzz was replaced with Daleen's baby who turned up at work because of the month long school holidays also affected the crèches. Now where did I put those earplugs?
What a disastrous Monday! Started the day feeling slightly flu-ish and when I heading out for the day found that Sophia rear tyre was flat. So off I headed to the local mechanic and I arrived there at 6:15am only to find that he opens at 7am which means I am not feeling well and I am getting a late start. Good news is that the mechanic arrived at 7am sharp; bad news is that he has lost his keys to the workshop and now has to break into his own shop. More delays and a lot of cursing from the mechanics side, so much so I was contemplating changing mechanics but I was already late. I managed to make up time on Sophia who flies like a bat out of hell when I push her. We were only 15 minutes late this morning. Daleen who has been on maternity leave for the last 4 months was back today and even she beat me into the office today. After apologising for been late my body started to steadily go downhill from there so much so that by 10am I could not work anymore and had to head back home to bed. Now that is what I call a bad start to a week.
Yes if you seeing this, then you must be wondering what we get up too at the ICT Department in Metrorail. This time it is Daleen who had a baby shower just before her baby is due. This is what women do to each other; men just go out and celebrate or have a braai.
There is something in the water at the ICT Department of Metrorail. Ayanda just had a baby, Ellen is nearly there and Daleen (shown above) has just announced that she too is pregnant. Oh save us. Maybe that is why I am battling to lose weight.
We started today with Metrorail’s ICT’s first departmental meeting of the year now that everyone is back from their summer break. Not everyone is in the photo but here is half of the department in one photo. Round the table from the left is Refiloe, Daleen, José, Kevin (behind the hands), Ayanda (standing), Motloli, Masilo,Ellen and Thembinkosi. Behind them against the back glass are Mokgosi and Theophylus.
