Love From The Office

The stronger medicine I am on seems to be helping as I am feeling much better. Maybe it is because I can work at home and simply pop into the office late in the morning to hand over the previous day's work and collect more. This helps me avoid the cold air in the mornings and evenings and of course it helps to be just 15 minutes drive away especially in light of the fuel crisis in Johannesburg. With no interruptions I can put in longer hours but somehow found that I missed my lunch. So while in the office, the SEO team wished me a healthy recovery and I took this shot of them while there of Louwellen, Vincent and Richard. My computer is still not fixed so working from home has given the support team time to get to the bottom of my computer's issues. Hopefully like me no more pick elephants.

'Les yeux sont le miroir de l'dme

James Dean, well not quite a rebel without a cause, but Louwellen made a good portrait on this cold winters morning that I am sure a rebel with a cause instead of without would be a good name he would actually like. Marcus Cicero, a Roman philosopher quilled these words "Ut imago est animi voltus sic indices oculi" or in the Queen's English "the face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter". In other words as the French say the eyes are the mirror of the soul.

Oogle

Yes this is the SEO team that I have been working with the last couple of months.From left to right is Richard, Ockert, Vincent, George, Louwellen and me at the back. This is the team that is bringing home the bacon for George's plumbing and electrical companies. There is talk of a SEO company but is this the birth of Oogle?

It will be Alright

They say that if you laugh a lot, when you get older your wrinkles will be in the right places. Some time ago I mentioned that I have lost my laugh somewhere along the way. I still haven't quite found my true joy again with all the troubles that keep piling up. But I am starting to feel different now. I starting to know, no, more like a feeling deep down inside me that every little thing is gonna be all right. I worry a little about Matthew but I just need to assure him that he must not worry. He must leave the worrying to me.

Monday Bunny

It was great spending the weekend with Matthew doing men's stuff. You know men's stuff. Friday night was eating as much sushi you can eat with friends. Saturday was shopping for clothes, oops did I say that? Well it was a quick in and out of the mall within a hour or two and we both had all the clothes we wanted to buy plus more. Later in the afternoon we headed down town to Chinatown. Sunday was the air show. So after the busy weekend it was back to work. The average calls received from the plumber and electrician websites in Johannesburg were sitting at 4 per day when I started the project a little over a month ago. Last week, the sites were averaging 10.75 calls per day with the maximum reaching 16 on two days. Today 24 calls had came in when I left in the afternoon. No wonder Louwellen looks happy.

Midweek

It is midweek and I so far I think I am coping okay. I am keeping busy at work which keeps my mind off things but there is still so much to do. Renew the Vespa licence, renew my passport, buy a vehicle, buy a new winter gloves and suit for the Sani trip, buy a new rear tyre for the Vespa, service Vespa and find a new home for myself. Tall order but will be done. I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day.

Louwellen

I am a bit cheesed off at the moment but can't say anything in case I get falsely accused once again of verbal abuse but it is hard to believe that having 4 vehicle accidents in 3 months doesn't warrant more investigation. There I am trying to get my life back in order after all the things that have gone wrong in it and this latest incident doesn't help. Anyway getting things back on track, here is Louwellen from my SEO contract. I have been told from high authority that behind Louwellen's smile lies a psycho. Oh dear what am I in for? The contract is looking positive and let's hope it has a future. Peace.
