Dear Hillary Clinton.
I’m not big on religious practice and observance. Neither am I a big fan of holiday travel, when everyone and their mates are drinking and driving. I’m not even a huge fan of working over the holiday, when the offices (and the Internets) are at their quietest.
Not only am I unconvinced, I’m highly sceptical. Watching, listening to and analysing Simba Makoni, I can’t help but noticing the man’s arrogance is tempered by a nagging lack of enthusiasm.
So I’m back in the world. I’ve taken a position doing I.T. support for a new company.
I’m still operating, but now I’ve got backup and support. So nothing’s changed, except my working hours.
If a picture tells a thousand words, this is The Iliad. Fox News must be creaming themselves.
My computer is split into three factions, and all three are up in arms (prolly cos they’re all cut from the same cloth). The entire system is on a go-slow, resource usage is sky-rocketing and now even the smaller programs are refusing to function.
Given that I am always complaining, I decided to give myself a break and think of 10 things I am actually happy about and give thanks for:
Hi, my net’s been down since last Wednesday. But I’m back now.
It’s not that I was backing Ivory Coast to win the 2008 edition of the African Cup of Nations. No, that’s not it.
Today’s wild rumour and allegation has it that Joe, i.e. Joe “My Name is Joe” Thomas (yes, the other Joe) is coming to Zimbabwe.
So, finally we get the details and reasoning behind Harbhajan Singh being absolved of making a racist comment against Australia.
I’m not one to take either cheap or obvious shots.*
But I might as well take this one, with the usual cliches.
Like, they don’t call this the Dark Continent for nothing.
Etc et al ad infinitum.
