Slept like a baby last night despite a fiasco of a day ........... suprisingly no Blogging nightmares, thank goodness (lol). I was up early this morning bright & breezy and had my derriere at work by 7:30am, some of you who know me know that in the past I definately was not a MORNING person. Seems to get easier now that I don't have that crazed disposition (mad woman from Borneo, ring a bell?) and now I know that the rewards will be worthwhile & beneficial to all.
Looking forward to tomorrow as the Amabokaboka (our very own Green & Gold) are in a titan World Cup Final against the English as well as it being my birthday, hmmmmm, asked the Bokkies to ensure that they bring home the Cup as that would be an absolutely priceless gift (had a personal chat with John Smit, smiles) and he said that it would his pleasure to bring it home for "me birfday". Smiles, had a Happy Birfday sing-a-long here at work with staff & family with a card & 38 cents (hehehehe) enclosed to celebrate my milestone together with 3 lovely cakes .......... ;-) Well, I am getting ready to leave my keyboard & my screen behind for the weekend as I am needing to pick my daughter up from school. So, all enjoy the weekend and trusting that you will all shout yourselves hoarse for OUR BOYS tomorrow. Adieu for now .....

Practical without the Theory ..........
Hmmmmm, and yet again I am pleasantly surprised by human kind ........... today has been a very expressive & interactive day at the grindstone. Marketing ideas and formats being punched out and sent back & forth. I have in the recent months made a very dear friend via another correspondence medium and I asked for assistance today regarding Marketing and it was his unbelievably invaluable (extremely useful) input that I am so grateful for .......... thank you so much to the "Daahling" from CT ............ *cheek, cheek**kiss, kiss* & a *wink*
Always good to have an objective opinion with the backing of theory. I don't have the theory regarding Sales & Marketing to call my own, however, practical experience is my forte'. Some really great comments were given by him which tells us we are on the right track - yihaaaaa.
So, the day has progressed and can anyone please tell me how a positive start to the day can finally conclude in an abomination, can someone please shoooooooot me! The remainder of the day as from lunch time has been filled with insecurities, mud slinging, raised voices and heated arguments ............ all I want to do is move forward into the future. However, I am unable to do that when emotions get involved in business. I am not able to take over the reins, when the Rider is still holding on by a thread due to having loss of control issues .............. get over it, I do love you, despite all this ............ we are connected by blood.
Perhaps, all will be well even though it didn't end well. Hope shines eternal ............... ;-)

The Day is but an Embryo (lol) but could hatch at any moment
Didn't sleep well last night, was tossing and turning with thoughts running through my mind about blogging! Can you imagine ........... BLOGGING, BLOGGING, damn BLOGGING. Woke up this morning to brave the day feeling as though my head was a Highway for a steam train. Got to work attended to our driver and "patiently" made sure that he gets his toosh out on the road and make money. Only to be confronted with one of those "you need to draw me a picture" looks from him ............. aaaaaah the joys of staff. Why is it that when a staff member has been absent for a day and returns it's as though everything that they have learnt over the 4 years that they have been with you seems to been wiped from the hard drive in 1 DAY!
The teaching process starts all over again, but wait, it gets better - the teaching process is harder this time because in the interim he has gotten older and potentially the receptiveness is not that "sharp" anymore. Anyway, enough lamentation. At least he is on his way today to bigger and greater things. With baited breath I wait for his return and hope that the "spark" will still be in his eyes and that he would have "got it". Hmmmmmm, my breath is indeed baited and I feel myself going blue in the face due to oxygen deprivation ............ pheeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww.
Thank goodness I am not a balloon otherwise I would now be suspended against the ceiling - lol. And so the day progresses, funny how when it starts off shaky it seems to gain vicious momentum and no matter how hard one tries, the inevitable happens - aaaaah, a downward spiral. Well, there is that saying that goes something like this - hehehe, like attracts like. Wonder who ever said that - would love to annihilate him/her at this point.
Ok, so here is finally how the day transpired - no unusual eventualities that we seem to have on most days. We have finally vetoed, concluded and printed Sales & Marketing "pretty, pretty's" that I can use as a fundamental tool in procuring new business. Hell, the universe does listen - smiles.
Really excited that I have all the Marketing "pretty, pretty's" at my disposal in order to go out and Famously hook new business, just a few things to iron out still.
Damn, still feel like a fledgling around Blogspot and seem to be doing the same thing over and over again .......... ugh! Opening window after window, hmmmmm, trial & error & damn how I hate trial & error. Suppose practise eventually makes perfect. Who's your Mama? PERFECT, here I come ...... lol. Lets hope that tomorrow will bode better for me regarding BLOGGING ........ the proof is in the pud, Dahlings (lean forward - cheek, cheek, kiss, kiss)

Still at? - Noooooo, you couldn't have guessed .........
WORK, I have nothing better to do right now - No hubby to dash home to, no children to attend to. So here I sit crouched (definately doesn't help a spastic colon that plays up every now and then) in front of my the screen with my fingers moving frantically over the keyboard, hoping that I will eventually get to grips with Blogging .......... hmmm, still feel a bit like a "needle in a haystack" - yes, people I am lost. Find myself, going in and out various applications only to find that I have been there before. Sigh ........... there is still hope as have wanted to dabble in blogging for a while and hooray, today is the day that I actually braved the inevitable and finally found the time (what's that?) & plucked up the courage! A tick on my TO DO LIST ....... (lol)
