a new life
26.06S 28.08E - don't fear, I'm not changing the name of the blog; however: life has moved to a new location... Joburg. Today was my first day at Accenture (www.accenture.co.za) as a business consultant. Yip, also the first day of being paid a salary again in 19.5 months (my interpretation of "holiday")!
Thus far Joburg is a lekke place and if work pans out to be half of what was promised today I'll be in heaven! This really seems like my kind of company. I've already met like minded people and decided to quicly update 33.15S 18.07E before heading out for drinks with some new mates.
Yesterday was quite a long day as I drove up from Cpt. En na 12h49m is mens seer gesit - thanks to roadworks etc. Stayed with adopted Joburg parents Pierre & Rosie last night - they have an awesome spot about 5 kms from work. Pretty much a good thing they don't have too many spare rooms as I might squat for ever! Thanks guys, you're gr8. They do however have family over for the w-end resulting in my logging into Rivonia B&B on Rosie's suggestion.
Here's one of my last memories of "home" - the Helderberg mountains around sunrise yesterday morning.
Although my heart is in Cpt (actually Lbn around 19:00 on Fri) this is a little adventure and I'm loving every second of it.
ps. Thanks to the Support Team & my secretary for making sure that I left Cpt kind of on time - without you guys I'm nowhere.
