first off i wanna blow off some steam about today, one of my nightmare mondays. starts off with all the trains being a pain in the ass, stalling out all over the place. so i am 5 min past 9 trapped mere meters from my stop and our receptionist rings me going, "WHERE ARE YOU!? do not panic when you get here because there are a lot of people today". i get there and there are 2 massive queues leading out both sides of the door alongside the outside of the building, throngs of people in our waiting room and in our boardroom. oh MONDAYS! i had clients back to back from 9 to 4, so stressful that i am now breaking out and looking ultra attractive (plus right now im sweating in my friend polly's flat so i have a nice sheen on my face as well).
think will be quite used to not eating lunch (in addition to the breakfast that i never have) soon. was starving and was not til 2:30 that our lovely cleaning girlie gave me this big fat deep fried bread ball thing that she was cooking up in our kitchen. so hungry i burned my poor lil' fingers tearing into that sucker! i am starting to think that my eating style is quite aligned with the african ways as just as i was thinking that my bread ball would be great padded down with butter, my coworker pulls out the butter and starts slathering it all over his. yummmmm.
otherwise, my saturday was the biggest bust of all time as miserably hungover and had to miss my coworker's sister's boyfriend's cousin's braai out in gugulethu which i had desperately wanted to go to. (i felt inclined to include all that unnecessary detail because i really did desperately want to go and am still kicking myself for not being able to do so). did absolutely nothing cept want to die. double sadnesssss.
sunday was good though, as everyone hiked up table mountain, i obviously went the lazy route and went to the beach with my flatmate jenny (the vegetarian beauty queen from texas, not really a beauty queen but could be one) and got nice and roasted. then a bunch of us went out to kirstenbosch for one of the summer sunset concerts out in the botanical gardens sooo nice.
and so that's it! a bit of backward blogging n mostly whinging but now that i have it out of my system i am content. and still sweating.
