I am officially in Sandton

And I am loving my new office. I share a spacious office (that my boss is jealous of) with my friend, the other business analyst. For some odd reason, I am the only one with a brand new laptop and connected to the internet. The rest are getting frustrated while tapping their fingers impatiently for IT to come up and sort them out. For once, I am the lucky one here.

I am sitting here right next to the window, watching the awesome view from the 10th floor. Its raining far away in the horizon, so a storm is definitely going to hit us soon. I can already see the lightning. Strange, but I am not really afraid of it, as usual. In fact, I am quite fascinated by it all. What did scare me, was the window cleaner dude that went past my window about an hour earlier. Almost jumped out of my seat as I was so into what I was typing. Haha.

I think I am going to love it here, though I found out to my dismay that I cant access the usual websites, just as in my previous job, like msn, myspace and porn (haha). So sorry, guys, we will have to keep on chatting via conventional email and jnf. I just cant work around this.

But there are a lot of perks here. Besides the stunning classy building with speedy lifts, we have breakfast set up for us every morning, free of charge, a tea lady making us tea and coffee whenever we want to, a fridge full of cooldrinks and even booze, and more! I have a brand new laptop that plays DVDs, though I have typing on a laptop. I have always preferred a pc. I still dont have a phone, but that's puddy sticks. Should have one soon. I know some of you might already be experiencing some or all of these beautiful perks but spare a thought for me. At Bank City I didnt have as much, I even had to make my own coffee! The horror! Haha.

Our previous P.A. sent us a huge gift basket to us that moved here. Its full of chocolates, nuts and other yummy stuff. It was so sweet of her. I am gonna miss her so much. Hope she finds a better job soon. Hopefully in Sandton.

I might have to go back to Bonk City (haha) soon as I cant access my old emails from here and still need to sort out a few admin issues there. So there will still be a bit of madness around here. Fun and games!!
