Jo'burg has been alive with worldcup fever. Now its over. Several of my southafrican coworkers commented today...the world cup was great but i'm so glad for it to be over so life can get back to normal! The traffic is congested again. The street guys are selling new things instead of scarves/jerseys/and vuvuzelas. Its snowing in the cape which means its COLD here. I'm sitting in my office with 3 layers on, including my jacket and i can't feel my toes...
I've been typing and typing and typing and missing a team to work with and typing and typing...did i mention typing??? I think i hit my wall. I've been sitting here staring at my PILE of reports and observations to type up and code... and i just can't do it. I think i'm just too cold, too tired, too emotionally beaten to read any more. In therapy language...I am holding too much.
