sun city fun

so this company must have racked in seriously last year. the last 2 days (tues, wed), they just sponsored a "thank you" day away at the amazingly extravagnt resort called sun city here in joburg. it was actually a lot of fun (you'll rarely hear me complain about 2 days away from work). in addition to meeting new people, there were some interesting activities planned (e.g. an "amazing race" comp. including blow darts, soccer, golf, jet skiing, swimming, sliding, etc...). They also sponsored an open bar night (always dangerous) with lots of dancing and invited Freshly Ground (an awesome South African band) to perform live. They were simply amazing; very unique sound. needless to say the night was lots of fun and the morning was painful. i've posted some pictures...check 'em out.

random post #45734: my awesome baby (still searching for a proper name) has a couple problems; she makes funny sounds and the AC decides when it feels like working (apparently its a problem with the compressor...whatever that is; im a city boy, what do i know about cars??!). So I took her to the audi shop and they gave me a loaner car. its a station wagon which is not so cool, but its an a4, 1.8T, all leather, all auto. i was really looking forward to doing some damage in it, but i just got a call from the dealership to tell me that its ready for pick up. man, if only i could pick what people would be effecient with. that was super fast, and now i have to give the loaner car back. well, good thing i like my baby.

for the user feedback section of this blog, the lines are now open for suggestions on what her name should be...
