Hello From the Dark!

Hey peoples!
Well, typical sensitive internet decides to fail only when I want it to work! Grrrr.... but at least I've managed to jump online for a bit. Actually quite a while... power is off at home and there's nothing to do, so hanging out at the supermarket listening to hellish R'n'B is somewhat of a change hehehehe. Just thought I'd drop a line and let everyone know that all is well on the dark continent. Had a job interview on Monday, but won't find out for another 2 weeks how it went. Lots of applicants for both the managerial position and the hunting apprenticeship. So we wait... getting good at that! Hahaha... keep well guy and dolls!

Power to the People!

Well today (and yes I realise I've posted 2 blogs at once... but I wrote the other one a few days back) I had my first encounter with the Department of Customs and Irritation... and I won! Muahahaha... Was expecting a package from the folks in Oz via DHL, and it was quite the large box... so I got a phone call from DHL that ZIMRA (the customs people) wanted to charge me $92 US for import duty tax. Needless to say I was peeved... but a visit to them and a presentation of my tourist visa sorted them out quick smart. Used personal clothing required no tax, especially for a visitor... so I walked away with my stuff and no charge, yay!!!!!! Heehee... on that note, tomorrow we welcome a new Zimbabwe... fingers crossed it goes smoothly and that the future is prosperous for us all!!!! Keep well guys ;-)

My Bad, Peoples

Sorry about this morning guys, I was really bummed. The internet here has been a bit of a pain lately, especially since they've been swapping phone accounts into US dollars. Which means that although I can access the internet from home, I dont want to spend too long on the phone line as they are charging ridiculous amounts at the moment. Rumours of $6000 phone bills are not uncommon... they have no idea of the true value of a dollar here. So until that settles down into reality, I'd rather go to an internet cafe and use wireless. Which is what I did today (as internet is free on the weekends and after 10pm weekdays). And this is the first time that ZOL, the internet provider, has been down for me. So no joy. Moo. Anywhos, I'll be aiming to do the same next Sunday, so for whoever is interested, I'll log onto my Yahoo Messenger. That's all folks! Ciao
