I'm sitting next to a canal watching cars go by while having a babalas beer.

I must have spotted around 10 cars/bakkies drive by towing either a caravan or a boat and I asked myself WTF is going on?

Then it hit me, a lot of companies must have shut down for the year yesterday.

I still have to slug it out untill the 22nd as I don't have enough leave left.

You on holiday yet?

My holiday was supposed to be in the USA. If nothing changes soon I'm just going to move it and work through the whole of December.

No cars in the pic. And why are you sitting there drinking so early? Can't you get under cover? Not a good look sitting out in the open drinking so early.
I planned the pic that way. Don't want to have to edit out numberplates and ****. :)

I wanted to take a pic of those birds.

As to why am I sittinf here, I'm sure you've seen the thread I made earlier this year about me being legally banned from consuming alcohol in my house. I am not taking any more chances!

You joke but the last few months have been so ridiculously busy with people wanting to get projects off the ground again that I'll go crazy without a December break this year. Closing end next week, back on the 10th'ish.

Then there's people like me who were prevented from taking leave and now I am losing 1.6 days a month because the company doesn't allow leave to carry over.

So sitting on my arse at home recovering from burn out

I haven't booked yet, which was ****ing stupid and I'm too broke to book now. I should have done so last month.

So I will book on the morning of the 21st hoping that I can get something on the 22nd, else it's going to have to be Intercape.

Locking SA out for identifying Omicron and thinking that it will prevent the spread of it is dumb.

Countries have been doing plenty of dumb things to prevent the spread. At least they're trying.

Last thing we need is bodies lying in the streets like 2020
