Honourable dismissal

Today is my absolute last official working day here in the US. As of tomorrow, my work permit will be cancelled, and I will have about a week to chaila before they evict me from this crazy country.

Jeez has time flown by.

July 2005, Mafikeng, North West Province
There I was sitting in my hotel room at 10.30pm watching crappy SABC telly in crappy Mafikeng when I got an SMS from The Boss. Naturally, I kakked myself. And so reads the SMS:
There is an opportunity for you to be seconded to the US for 6 months. Let me know immediately if you’re interested.

I accepted immediately, ignoring the fact that I had my flights to London booked and paid for to visit my big bro.

And so began this mad rush to get visas, get cash, get sorted and get going.

And then five months later...
