My family is descending upon us and Durban seems much smaller now that the Bonds are heading this way. We have stocked up on all the booze necessary for a dysfunctional family holiday (why is it that by their very nature families are so horrifying?) don’t get me wrong, I do love them dearly, and strangely families have that ability, along with all their oddities to make you feel safe, and normal. So it will be an interesting couple of weeks to say the least, and all I really have to concern myself with is not going to work with too many hangovers, and dodging the flying insults – its all fun and games until someone loses an eye, or so they say.

So not much going on on the working side of things…Been wondering about my colleagues (as you do). There is this one person (gotta work the anonymity angle here people) who is very nice, but totally monotone (do u get me). You know just flat, takes everything in *its* stride and never gets ruffled. Seems to have no real interests and in fact nothing to say, and I just wonder you know, in everyone there has got to be some abnormality – and so if you have this perfect social mask that never slips, what is lurking underneath. Now I am not talking axe wielding, dress wearing serial killer Norman Bates types, but more like maybe enjoying a good old spanking (eek), better yet a golden shower or perhaps something as mundane as only eating smarties in even numbers. Well the smartie thing isn’t that great, but I would certainly pay to know other peoples funny little secrets (and now I bet you are wondering what mine are??? – I promise it is none of the above, although I like to leave purple and blue smarties til last because they are pretty, and I always eat the brown ones first because they are boring). Strange thoughts for a Thursday afternoon I am sure, but that is what is running through my warped little head today.
