So I am here sipping my mug of Green Tanganda tea in a hotel after a long hard day of interviewing for this position in a country not my own, where I was exported for IT Support, of antivirus installation (who created viruses anyway? People are so evil. huh! But I am the sort of person who looks for the positive in every situation so I choose to look at it like another way of creating jobs for this poor tech crazy generation) And believe me or not, I am an IT Manager, a good one I hope but I am not tech crazy. I like to find a balance.

Imagine if there were no viruses! How many people would be unemployed? I know a good number of people employed by SS businesses who just wake up everyday and their job is to fight viruses. Then lots of companies that actually survive of sale of all sorts of antivirus, firewalls, recovery software etc. So we say.. well done to the virus creators and all other malware for that matter.

Maybe I would also be unemployed if there was no malware, or maybe I would be more productive coming up with ICT4D innovations or maybe being unemployed would be a good thing because I would be at home looking after my sweet little 2 year old instead of being here speaking fake Shona and saying 'Horite' to every statement for the sake of blending in and sounding Zimbabwean. I love this world of IT especially when things are working out fine, like they are now, and oooh how I love going places! But I dearly miss my daughter. Christ gave His life for me, and she is the only human I would give up my life for. Abandi, no beef.

But what's this post about? Lol. Just random thoughts of a working, travelling mother.

I'll take a shower now and go back to my O365 e-learning.
Have you ever been there and you have lots of random thoughts but none to share them with? If you're a woman, you know what am talking about. Our minds are constantly buzzing, meandering, rushing and boiling. Kinda reminds me of the River Nile sometimes. :)

So this blog is long long overdue. I am yet to trace my other blogs which I've started before and lost but hopefully this one will stay.
It's basically for putting my thoughts down at times like this when I am seated alone in my hotel room, more than 1000 miles away from home. Whether I've gone for work or holiday, there comes a time when I am alone. And being an introvert these times are many- and don't get me wrong; alone but not lonely. I love 'me' time and I enjoy my random thoughts to the extent that sometimes I lol by myself. I also used to col (Cry Out Loud) but not anymore. Now my Chains are gone and I am set free indeed!

So Hopefully I will, 10 years from now lol reading this again and seeing that I have persisted with the writing.
