Monday, December 18

sunny times

just got back from the strange land that is ballito in the holiday festive summer season for the weekend. god its a weird place, where you are hit on by strange middle aged afrikaans men, surrounded constantly by little screaming children and no available booze selling outlets on sundays- apparently its a well know fact that there is no place open to sell booze (not a restuarant just a general store) on sundays- damn ballito doesnt like heathens. despite all these strangenesses it was a good relaxing weekend of sun, reading good book, and lots of eating and drinking. only to return on monday morning to have to continue with the endless emailing of my cv to find any, and i really mean any sort of job available. im so sick of fucking emailing that stupid cv- i havent heard back from anyone, nor does it seem that anyone is even interested in a semi intelligent young dynamic girl with higher education. what happened to rewarding those of us stupid ones who stayed behind and havent run away contributing to the brain drain- isnt there meant to be a skills shortage in this land? and i am skilled? why do these tow situations not equate to me getting offered lots and lots of jobs and money? sigh i hate this system- they all want experience and high skills- but where are you meant to have had the time to get all of these things, when no one is keen to give you the experience in the first place. fuck i hate the job market. and my debt is simply growing daily. dammit. so much for the relaxation lasting and keeping me calm.

oi oi oi. Ballito is my home Town.
No dissing it please. The only reason the Booze stores open on Sundays is the silly Local Government of KZN doesn't allow it, unlike the Gauties :)

That aside, I can honestly assure you the "strange middle aged Afrikaans men" are not a common feature and only invade our little hamlet from the beginning of December till the end of Jan. The little kids, well can't say much bout that :)

Anyways, thanks for coming. :)

dont get me wrong- the place is great, didnt mean to diss it- just the strangeness of the holiday season and all it brings. and the no booze thing sure aint KZN- as durban is thankfully full of heathens like me who seel me liquor every sunday- its spar national policy to have a tops bottle store open 7 days a week 7am to 7 pm- everywhere (and ive put this theory to the test) except for your home town- which is just weird. hope the crunchies leave soon enough to save your sanity! dont think i could do it for long (at least can hide from then in durbs)
