Invited to Bloggerati Jozi!

I received an email earlier from Vincent Maher, cofounder of AMATOMU. He and Matthew Buckland are hosting Bloggerati Joburg this Saturday evening… Bloggerati is a party that Matthew and Vincent throw for bloggers, geeks, technologists and generally interesting people to network, socialize and have a good time.

Anyway, the thing is that I have been invited!

This is something that is very exciting for me as this is a Bloggerati event. Some big names of the South African blogosphere will be attending!

I need to find someone that will be willing to take me there and attend this party with me. Maybe one of my cousins? I doubt it… I don’t know. I really want to go though!

Not to self: Stop putting off learning how to drive and get your fucking license already!

Stupid Call Center Agent!

So Vodacom was having “problems” with their 3G network earlier… The whole morning! And so I couldn’t get online and it was frustrating because I wanted to write a blog post but am no longer in the mood to write what I was going to at that time.

I called Vodacom and asked a call center agent if he had any idea when the network will be up again because I hadn’t been able to connect to the internet the whole morning because. He told me that their technicians were working on it and that he didn’t know when the 3G network will be running again. “Oh OK… Well, thanks for nothing and have a good day!” I said as I was about to hangup the phone…

“Well is there anything else I can help you with?” Asked the call center agent. “Um, no thanks. I just wanted to find out when I can get online again. I haven’t been able to do so all morning!” I replied. The call center agent made me think he had a hearing disability when he asked me, “So you are aware that you cannot get online because the 3G network is down at the moment?” “YES! I am aware of that. So yeah, thanks again for nothing. Have a good day!” And I hung up the phone.

What the fuck, man?!

And with that, here follows a list of Seven Random Facts About Randi:

  1. I have this thing of shaking my ass to get myself to sleep when I can’t. It happens to work for some reason that is unknown to me.
  2. I tend to make up silly lyrics and sing them out loud at random times, especially when I am bored. You should hear my song titled, “Mosquito”. I have several remixes of it even!
  3. I have a black hair that grows out of the right side of my right breast. I pluck it out whenever I see it as it just keeps growing back.
  4. My left ribcage is malformed. Put your right hand’s fingertips over the top of your left hand’s and slightly arch… Yeah, that is what it is like. It is uncomfortable when laying on that side as it causing the overlapping part to grind over further. My doctor was stumped when I told her I was never injured there and she thinks I may have been born with this malformation.
  5. I commentate myself using a very fake American accent while baking, cooking, putting on make up… As if I were hosting my own television show. “Now you take an egg and crack it being sure not to get any of its shell into the bowl. Yeah that wouldn’t be good at all, so be very careful not to do so. Now once we’ve done that we’re going to add a cup of sugar…”
  6. I have clinical depression and may have to continue taking my medication for the rest of my life.
  7. I have a scar on my forehead above my right eyebrow from hitting my head against a bookshelf when I was very young, this resulted in me having several stitches in and out. I was attempting to fly through it, or so I would like to think that is how it happened!

There you have it!
