OK, so its been a while. And yes, idle interns do get busy sometimes and I've been for the past one week. OK that last part was a lie. Anyways, I shall try to work up some bit of creative energy to write another cliche blogs on the biggest global concern at the moment , SA 2010.Well ,Of course there's the hum of random vuvuzelas from the streets below our offices as guys head off to watch World cup matches at the end of the day. Well believe it or not I happen to be stuck in the office while an important match goes on right now. What can I say, I kinda expected it. Even my pals are calling me assuming if I got a sneak card for this rare occasion..... nooot.
Nevertheless ,Friday was a luckier day at least. We all hurdled up at the TV room to watch the first match in the tournament. Mrs Big brownies, Head of the Risk dept was there an hour early to watch the opening ceremony which apparently to her is much more entertaining than the actual matches. But this unsoccerly perspective did not of course keep her from running all the way down the office hall each h time a goal was scored and the noise-making began. Yap, everyone including the big G.O was there. Of course it was a bit awkward at first till he started with his goofy remarks..” Mphela! Vuvuzela! Kubeeela ,Mmmm!” He bellowed abruptly as some South African striker labeled Mphela para-idiotically missed a goal despite being inches from the net and past every defender.But despite the expressions of growing disillusionment that had begun to loom into our faces after the sad event (soon to be followed by others of similar category) everyone burst out in laughter of course after the remark.
Well I guess you could call it the Friday spirit coz it seems like that was the end of it. No one seems to be displaying the least bit of interest in today's match. A Cameroon match. Weirdly enough I'm not exactly bothered enough about it either. But in my case its probably because I wasn't really expecting to watch it at the office anyways...not on a Monday at least. And again I can still catch the rerun later on tonight.
Which reminds me that I have precisely two weeks left inside this executive prison. That's exactly the time left before the big guns start blazing at each other. Or in other words, that's when the real games begin. Till then I'ma eat my canvossio..till the next scoop of course.
