Ok so we all know by now that tink kinda got stuck yesterday.
So i decided to help all woman out, Come on Tink, why didnt you try to jump start the battery?Thats what i'd have done.I honestly thought you were going to do that when you mentioned youre sister went to her boot. But ja.So im going to list important things that you ladies should remember to check at least once a month
Oil, this is the most important.Without oil in youre motor vehicle, youre going to end up paying alot more to the friendly mechanic.Oil is check by pulling out the dipstick, Thin little thing, normally located near the front of the cars engine,It should have a loop on the end so that you can pull it out easily. DONT just read it once, pull it out,wipe it clean, stick it back and then take a reading. I dont know why,but my daddy said it was right. There is a small section that has blocks on it,near the bottom, the oil should just cover that,it can be over,but youre car will smoke.Petrol attendents can help here.
Tire pressure, If youre car pulls to one side, is sluggish on pullaway and makes an awful noise when driving. Youre tire pressure is probably stuffed. Tires have a pressure recommendation on them, somewhere, But it would be safe to just pump it to 2.0bar, im not going to get technical on how to estimate the pressures when hot, Just pump them when the tires are cold.OK. once again ,petrol attendents are youre friends.
Battery water, On top of youre battery,between the two poles (roughly) are covers that protect the water from dirt, evaporation and so forth. The water inside the battery isnt tap water, its distilled water. This waters avalible for free at the garage where you fill up and clean youre nails. The water should just cover the core parts of the battery.
radiator water. When youre temp gauge is flickering at you, or youre car has steam coming out the bonnet, its to late. So before that happens, go and check that you have enough water in youre car. There is only so many containers in the engine bay that take water, its normally a small bottle type thing ,with tubes coming out of it going into the radiator. Make sure thats filled with normal water (to the recommended line of course..)
so there we go ladies. Its not that hard to solve car problems.remember most mechanics are afrikaans.That alone should speak volumes for the simplicity of a car engine
So what if its not friday.Today just feels like one to me.
today is infact Cailins birthday.Yes ladies and gents.She has one of those,Im pretty sure im going to forget it many many times.This morning i had my alarm set for 12 o clock,just so that i could sms her,Childish i know.The thought was there..
Jhb seems to be having a serious heatwave or something,This morning i was cruising along in my super cool golf and i noticed the temp was at 32 deg c..COME ON! It was 10am.Jissus, Where will it end?Are we going to be burned alive one day?Just wake up and be roasted?
Its getting so hot here im struggling to sleep.At night i really doubt that it drops below 20.I have kak sleeping habits,Such as talking in my sleep(gregs first post) and i also have to have a blanket over me,Not a sheet,A Blanket.Its horrible i tell you horrible.
So ja..Im just going to sweat it out here in the office for another hour.then go home and maybe suck on some ice or something...
So im still looking for a job.Apparently those little papers you recieve when you pay a college alot of money is really valuable. Who would have thunked it.
So this morning i went out and sent my cv to 4 more companies.Then started my day.Its been a shit day.Ive had little time to do anything and no its not cause im lazy.Its cause there are gremlins in the bladdy pabx. For some reason the pabx system just conks out on me. Then the time and date will change, really creepy.
But ja.back on the topic I picked,Job hunting
Thanks to the internet its apparently become alot easier to find work. I geuss im just doing it wrong. I have been on almost every job hunting site in sa, and nada.Nothing,Kaputnik.... There are a few ones here and there. But the bastards(geuss i shouldnt be calling my possible employers bastards yet) dont reply to my applications. What the hell am i doing wrong? Why dont they like me?Is it cause im black?
So last night my sister informed me that one of my friends siblings passed away two days ago...So I tried to track down her number.This proved to be an impossible mission.
First i tried clayton.I asked him if he knew anyone that actually had it...He sms'd me claires number.Claire then went and dropped one on me,Shes engaged..Jeepers.All my friends are getting serious in their relationships.what the hell!!
Am i slow?
Last time i spoke to most of them was at Laurens moms funeral....Why is it we only get together cause of deaths?hardly anyone gets together for a braai,wedding etc,Its always at those kak times.So you always have that awkward moment where youre not sure to ask anyone else "so hows life treating you?"
Cazz had a old buddy post on her blog a few days ago..Dont know how the hell she found her blog.but ja she did...its still amazes me as to how people actually just lose track of certain people..
But then again.some you just dont want to mingle with
well honestly.no one ever really left.We just got sidetracked with a heated game of hide and go seek....They are sneaky little bloggers.
So what have i been up to this week?Well if someone actually asked me that my response would probably have been..Oh nothing much,job hunting, downloading, peeing in the bath.Normal stuff really.
With justin gone,(i know i sound like a beat up old record) i have had to really start working.Hence the lack of comments from me.Not to mention the lack of blogs..Or communication(which is really woman language for rambling).So i decided today im going to take it chilled.The phone is ringing while im typing this but im not going to answer it...Bastards
Ok, job hunting.Its bladdy hard.Why cant they just make a job season.Like with goats,deer and russian woman.Its so much easier to catch one if you know when to start looking.Yes there are jobs all over.But the thing with IT is you have to have papers(okes at chumpstyles know what i mean).I have the experience,I can be an IT techie, i really can>But they dont want that.They just want someone that knows what a pc looks like,from pictures.
So ja...im busy doing that today.Also started my mcse 2003 studying on monday..Not good.....
why? cause this weekend was a stuff up of note....Nothing.No curriecup (very offensive name) winner, well there are at least two second place finishers though.
So weasel,evil cazzys brother seems to have developed a drinking problem
The worst part about it is he is going behind their backs and not sharing.So tonight we have decided that we are going to have an intervention,followed by some beer and a braai.It should work out well
What im hoping for is weasel to realise that he has a problem.A problem that might lose him the only three friends he has.You see if he doesnt share his drinks, there is really no reason for people to hang out with him
But it could also go pear shaped,cause cazz would be on her third or fourth drink by then.Unlike randy from my name is earl.Thats about the time she gets witty.She starts chirping and just might say something to push him over the edge and into the bottle.Weasel is a strong chap,surprisingly strong for an auditor,probably cause he has been know to audit rough and tough companies like Virgin and SAB.Not an easy task
So lets all think about weasel tonight,Hold thumbs and may the booze flow
So even though i have ME by the balls.Im still going to look for another job.Technically im not allowed to do justins work.Cause well he was made redundant....But im trying.So that maybe it helps him.Im not sure,im not studying law.
Job hunting sucks ass.its bladdy hard.no one really wants to employ young white okes anymore.WHY!?!
what the fudge did i do to youre oupa and shit like that.Why do i have to suffer cause of apartheid.
but ja,if anyone knows about an IT techie job in jhb.Mail me....
So as we all await Gregs first post...We start to wonder.Will he change his avatar?Will he post legible writing?Will the world as we know it just continue without actually changing in anyway that is noticible to the common man on the street?
So what do you think he'll post about?Small ponies running off in to the sunset?Mudvaynes newest song,that still needs to be written?Playstation 17 and its its green ray technology?Well i think i can answer that.Its going to be about.....Wait sorry i have to go work...
So you all might have noticed,Tink doesnt really have as much free time as we thought....So ive added another writer,No its not going to spoil it.This one can type.And it wont be about that bladdy paris cow.
This morning i woke up after a whole four hours of sleep.Yes, i watched the grand prix last night.Im seriously going to miss old schumi,Even though he sort of killed F1,
But back on topic. So this morning i walked in,to find my boss here already.Didnt think much because in the last 2years,he's been at work before me, nothing major.
Turns out he was packing up the small things that he might just forget at the office,He had a bad feeling about the changes happening in ME(company name).At around 8ish ,our GM and FD phoned him and wanted to see him, Justin walked back shook my hand and said,nice working with you.
9years and all he gets is an hour and maybe a months salary.What bullcrap.Is that what a human is worth to a company.All the effort this man has put into this company.Painting the offices,Building servers till the wee hours of the morning.And he doesnt even get a proper thank you.
Justin taught me pretty much all i know.(not much but to get it right takes a real man).He taught me how to rewire a pabx,configure phones, set up windows 2003, the list just keeps going.He seriously is a legend.I just cant believe that they just chucked him away.What is this world coming to?
So ja for pretty much the whole day,ive been running around like a sweaty piggie cause ive been fixing everything.Apparently im not as good as i thought.
So tomorrow morning im getting up at 4:15 to catch a flight down to capetown..BUT im going to be working my ass off.So sorry doubt ill be able to blog.But hey come visit anyways.Maybe tink will actually post.WHO KNOWS!?!
Okie dokie so I have more time on my hands.Just enough infact to tell you about woodstock.IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Friday afternoon we rocked up there and started to set up.6 people,three tents and way to much booze(sad story about that later).We had the tents and so forth up and beer in the coolerbox within 2hours,quite impressive seeing as only ferdi helped cazz with her tent.Bernadine,you just stood around.
So ja,the booze started flowing,we were right infront of the stages,literally 20m away from them,In hindsight it was actually a kak place to camp.So back to the booze.I drank as much as I could.I think I polished of around 5 beers,2litres of brandy and coke,and 1litre jack and coke,I just didn't even get tipsy.Im really an embarrasment to my family.
Cazz however got tipsy...we all could see that.And honestly we expected nothing less from her,
So the bands.Who do I reckon was brilliant.Well obviously Inershia, those okes seriously kick butt,Pity about the whole 16stitch thing happening while inershia was playing, but we got to see who really listens to good music.(for those of you who don't know,16stitch is one of the best known bands in sa). Oh inershia signed my boobie,At first they didn't want to,but they gave in , cazz has a single pic of it......
Other good bands.Well pestroy dissapointed me, arno shouldn't sign, OOO OOOO my epic rocked, that was a good moshpit,Nice on basti for being bumped to the ground by a skinny person.Wuss. Dantes muse(what ever the hell they are called) are also quite good, havent heard them before but ja....bloodline kicked ass again.The moshpit got a bit much so I left.Apparently misled caused so much kak the metal tent was nearly destroyed...They make us so proud...
So ja...Next year hopefully will be a bit better...But till then.keep reading my kakakas
So I geuss I should tell gary what I got up to lately,with me being on leave and all he must have been worried.Shame I actually missed him.
So it all started about 17days ago...when I went to the airport.i thought I was late,so I started taunting cazz,I thought karma couldn't hurt me more than Cailin was going to.Turns out I was early.So I dodged a major bullet there.
I was sick when she came here.so it didn't help things at all.I hadnt been keeping food down and so on and so forth.In the end my mommy made me come to botswana,Which I enjoyed.Also it was the first time cailin had been outside SA,yes its not far,but so fudge what!
In bots we just lazed around.l kinda liked that..alot
We also went to the game park.saw lots of little piggie things and some biltong.
Last week as you know the highlight was when my car got broken into.Thanks to Quintin Green from hollard it was sorted out in super quick time.Can you bladdy believe it.One day and I had a new radio and speakers.Im thinking of actually staying with them.
So I got to work this morning and decided I was going to post a blog.I honestly don't think I could have been more wrong.
You see my internet is giving us kak.I think its full or something.I click on the blogger thingy mabob,(tech terms) and it just hangs there.I cant get onto student village either.Its so bladdy frustrating.I hate it.
But ja.Ill keep trying,or just mail thru another blog later.At least im back
