Changes Afloat

Monday Office news. Metrorail's ICT staff are starting to get moved around, Refiloe along with Help Desk are now situated at PRASA Head Office which means the office is much quieter. Uncle Norman has cross the invisible line by soaking my chair with water on Friday so today I started plotting revenge. I'm ninja, he won't know when I will strike which means he better sleep with one eye open. Leon's daughter has given birth this to a baby girl. Congratulations grandpa Leon. And finally here is Sello, not sure about him but he seems to be relaxing. Maybe it is lunch time. Well thats all folks, till next time. Good night.

You toucha my sandwich?

Most of the employees of Metrorail were up in Pretoria for the Regional Manager's roadshow while a few dedicated ones manned the fort down south. One of the dedicatees is Sello, giving me the evil eye for eyeing his chip sandwich.

Rain Rain Go Away

The torrential rain continues to pour down on Johannesburg that it is starting to feel like we are in a monsoon. We have cyclones in the Indian Ocean off Moçambique which brings lots of rain inland but I am sure it is not as much as what we having now. Things at Metrorail are starting to get back into gear. Sello, shown here, is happy that he has chosen to stay with Metrorail.

Is this the end?

With two offers, I am not sure which one to take. One offers security till retirement but not much growth and the other offers lots of growth with even overseas potential but not much security. So this might be my last day at Metrorail and so I needed a photograph of the team, well two thirds are already on leave which means this is not the full team. In the photo are José, Sello, Masilo, Khathu (seated), Jimmy, Leon, Mulalo, Thanyani and me.

Out with the old, in with the fast

Working with such large files my computer at Metrorail is battling to keep up. So the powers that be decided that my computer must go and a kick butt spec is to be drawn up and ordered but in the meantime a temporary machine is being put together. Well 8GB of Ram is better than 2GB. So what happens to the old computers? Here is Sello writing off some old hardware.

uSello Mpandlane!

Ohh I gotta touch that! Okay at least I am not the only shinny dome in ICT as Mpho points out. At least we don’t waste our brains trying to grow hair. Sello doesn’t consider himself bald, he is just taller than his hair.

Monday Morning

With the rush of the weekend fading fast, Sello educates us about e-fashion and the township threads. All Sello needs is some Bling Bling and he could be your next Pimp Daddy. Trust José to pipe up from the peanut gallery that we have a giraffe in our midst.

Busted

Well what can you say about the young single men in the ICT department. Karabo, Masilo and Sello shows how it is done by drooling over skimpy clad women. Please note this is not a reflection of how the rest of department works.

Feet up

I made the deadline with over 12 hours to spare. It didn’t have time to whizz pass. Can’t relax yet I have many cost estimates to get out. Here are Sello and Theo showing us how to work and relax at the same time.
