I guess they're right when they say that when things are going too well, you can expect something bad to happen, just to equal it out. When that hits, it's no fun. I'm not really going into it now, but let's just say that I'm going to be making lots and lots of lemonade.
Otherwise, the work is actually okay, the bank (which does seem to be the main theme on this blog of late) is pretty fun when it gets quiet, as I am left talking to my co-workers about the lives they have developed while I've been 'op universiteit'. Husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, homeowners they now are, which only leaves me to ponder the real worth of sitting reading books for 4 years *sigh*
I am rather worried about my closest buddy here in Knysna - today began with a rather sullen phonecall from him followed by a similarly sullen visit (with accompanying beer) and then followed by an even more sullen chill with Ryler (back for a few days to visit) and Putter (currently out on the yacht catching ac with his f-buddy)... all in all, a little much to bear from the man known for his chirps and overall fun-ness. As is, I find myself counting down the minutes until my return to ze Oysterrrr Catcherrr to hook him up with some g's to get wasted on. Wondering aloud if his philosophy of "my answers are somewhere at the bottom of one of these puppies" *tap tap tap on an empty Amstel* does nothing to soothe the situation, so I guess the best way I can help him right now is to fund his attempt to numb himself and be by the phone when he's ready to talk.
Such is life, mon ami, when you live and work like a dog in a place where all you hear is fat German tourists telling you how wunderbaarrr the town really is.
The funds are being closely watched for the UK trip and, as such, the purchase of Vernon God Little might have to be postponed in favour of those big sunnies I want from Woolies when I travel to George (on the 17th) to apply for my visa at the OVC (thanks Dame). The timing is cutting it close, but should my visa be granted by 5 and a half weeks I should be ready to leave very early in March. Onward!
