Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are, for what you could become.
They say that change is as good as a holiday. Things are changing in my life and with it will come new challenges.
At work I have moved on to a new role (still within IBM South Africa) which will mean that for the next couple of weeks and months, I will be staying in Cape Town and working in Johannesburg. I will be commuting between Cape Town and Johannesburg on a weekly basis and depending on the needs of the work, I will be in Johannesburg anything between 2 and 5 days a week. I cannot say much about the work I will be doing but when things are more finalized then I will post it here.
I will get to know the inside of airports, airplanes and hotels. Made sure that my Voyager and BA Executive Club cards are up to date and make sure I stay in the same hotel group to benefit from Frequent Guest privileges.
This should give me a chance to pop in at 27dinner in Johannesburg. Do they have Geekdinners in Johannesburg?
This will also give me the opportunity to see my Johannesburg and Pretoria friends more often. Hey, one cannot live on hotel food alone. So if any of my readers from up there want to meet, then contact me and we can make a plan.
I am sure I will build up a wealth of experience of how to commute across the country for one’s job. From time to time I will share that here – what to look out for and what to avoid. What the quickest way through an airport is? Experience with hotels, rental companies and airlines. I will also appreciate any comments which any of you might have on things to avoid or look out for.
To my Cape Town friends, I will not leave this beautiful place anytime soon so you will still see me around.
