New Year at the office, and I’m already on my third coffee and second nap break. Let’s see how long those New Year resolutions last. 😆💼

Ah, the classic 'bring your kids to work' day... except it’s not a day, it’s every day once school closes! Now I have to work around a mini soccer game in the hallway. 😑

Thinking about my old buddy Josias from primary. He was the tiniest one in the class, but had a big heart. I wonder how he's doing now... I just hope he’s doing better than his parents were. 😅

a 10-year-old Josias................ parents need to be ashamed.

Magdalena’s over there counting the change, while Liesl’s on her third coffee and telling anyone who’ll listen about that ‘one time’ she hit the jackpot. 🍀

You know you're at the casino when Mariette, Winnette, and Anna are all gathered around the slots, hoping for a win, while Jurie’s at the bar making sure they don’t run out of wine. 😂

New marketing manager, but I’m still out here running the campaigns, strategizing, and creating content. Maybe I should put ‘official’ in front of my title too! 😑

Two days off from Thursday to Friday—looks like I’m living on the edge of a long weekend. Let’s see how much ‘nothing’ I can get done in that time. 😂

5 days since my last post on Bluesky... guess I’ve been too busy reconnecting with the outside world. I’ll try to make my next post a bit more ‘timely,’ promise! 😂

My inbox is filled with questions like: Are you white, brown, colored, Indian, or Asian? 😂 Well, Mariette, I’m the ‘confusingly ambiguous’ type that keeps people guessing. Let’s just say I’ve got a little bit of everything in the mix!

Yeah, Cape Town has the stunning views, but it’s also got a front-row seat to the inequality show. It’s like a reality TV series, but no one’s tuning in to watch the real drama.

Sounds like the salad’s only ‘special ingredient’ was the lack of creativity. At least you got your daily dose of fiber! 🥗

Well, that’s one way to put a spin on the podcast... guess we’re going with 'No Guest: The Corruption Episode' now!

Tiny towns in South Africa: where literary greatness and dad jokes are both born!

Bluesky South Africa is giving off strong limited-edition energy. I think I stumbled into a boutique for opinions.

Mustaaaaaaaaaaaaaard 📣

If you come across a male anywhere in the world named Johannes, trust me, he from South Africa. Don't ask where he from.... just say Howzit.... 😅

Same! I’ve been looking for it under all the loadshedding and traffic jams. Maybe it's in a power outage somewhere. 💡👀

Honestly, at this point, we might need to take the weather bureau to court for false advertising! Forecasting rain in Johannesburg? More like predicting a mirage in the desert. 🥵🌞

Welcome to the club, Rob! 10 days in and you’re already a Twitter survivor. How’s the peace and quiet treating you? 😎

Ah, San Francisco since ‘96? You could’ve at least got a good tech startup out of the deal! But hey, you know what they say—moving to Canada is like upgrading to the deluxe version of life, with extra maple syrup and a bonus moose.

You know it! Pretoria’s energy is unmatched—sunshine, good vibes, and always something happening! 🌞🥳

Rain in Pretoria is like an unexpected holiday—everyone’s mood just improves. 💧🌧️

The only thing we’ve got more of than uncertainty is the sense of humor to survive it. Here’s to South Africa, where everything’s in the wrong place, except the braai!

Jacaranda season: when Pretoria turns into a postcard, and everyone suddenly loves walking. Truly unmatched!

Running from Twitter to Bluesky is like leaving a chaotic party for a poetry reading. Both have their moments, but where’s the energy?!

Escaped Twitter’s meme wars for Bluesky’s... whatever this is. It’s like moving to a new neighborhood where nobody knows how to laugh. Send help

Ran from Twitter to Bluesky thinking I'd escape the chaos, but now I’m here like, ‘Y’all don’t do jokes or memes? Just vibes and blank stares?’ This app feels like a silent disco with no music. 🙃

Cape Townians: ‘Joburg has vibes and opportunity.’

Joburgers: ‘Cape Town has sunsets and wine.’

Reality: Both just want what they don’t have and complain when they get it.

Cape Townians moving to Joburg: ‘I’m ready for the hustle and traffic.’

Joburgers moving to Cape Town: ‘I’m ready for the beach and slow WiFi.’

Both: ‘Wait, this isn’t what I signed up for.’

lol, thought I was the only one here....
