..... that a young shy graduate stood under a tree looking at a very ominous looking building and wondering what the hell he was doing there. First day of just another job, or so he thought.

That was Friday, December 1, 1989 and I was the dude standing under a tree, wondering what the heck I was doing there.  Buggedout Buggedout

I had just found my life's work but didn't know it yet: 25 years later, I still don't know it yet as that day seems like yesterday. I hope that I have made a difference in the lives of the hundreds of people I've worked with over the years and I hope I've put paid to the myth that public servants don't care about their work, nor the public they serve.

18 years left to go - I better make them good ones.  Smile

After that eventful afternoon in 1974 at my hometown cinema, I was never the same and the movie bug bit me hard and what was once my hobby is now my work. Strange how things turn out.  TeddyR

Indeed I am a fixture here: colleagues hung me up by my pants jeans buckle from one of the light fixtures here the other day.  Wink

Us guys are referred to as "Saffers"  or "The Rainbow Nation Peeps".

Me? I am proudly African.  Cheers

And what's the first thing I did the day after my 25th?

I delivered a digital tape for a client.

Same as it's always been, I guess.  TeddyR

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
