Diary entry for March 23rd, 2009

March 23rd, 2009

This weekend was pretty quiet, I stayed at home at saturdays and went to rehab and church yesterday. I wanted to write a small diary note on fridays, but somehow the internet got fukt at the office :( The only thing working was mail through SMTP, which I don’t use :(
Oh, and I went to rehab last thursday too. It seems weird, but I like being there…

Since I can’t remember in detail what happend a few days ago I’ll just tell you about yesterday. We drove to rehab to pick up a few people to go to church with us.
Jeffrey ( he came back :) ), Nico and two new guys were willing to go. After the service I talked to Jeffrey, who couldn’t seem to understand my vision on religion and church. He made me repeat it 5 (five!) times xD. Don’t think he understands it fully yet, and probably never will. I must be crazy in his eyes :D

I talked to Nico too, he’s an incredible smart guy. Definately not the kind of person you’d expect to see in rehab. I started talking to him last thursday, mostly about South Africas politics, economy and history. Yesterday I asked him some questions about South Africas policy for foreigners, working in South Africa, influence of the crisis on South Africas economy etc…
Nico has a university degree in *something* and worked in several big companies before, manager-type positions. Before he went to rehab he was a tour-guide for tourists, and hearing him tell about several things I suppose he’s a very good one too.

In the evening we went back to rehab, this time to take the girls to church. We took Sarah, Avril & Valentina, and they were dressed like *WAAUW* :D
Had a lot of fun with Sarah, talked a lot and laughed even more. Apparently I have nice eyes, she wants to have them. I still don’t know if thats good or not…
Anyway, while talking to her I heard a few things about her past that really shocked me. I wouldn’t think these things would happen in real life if I didn’t hear her talking about it. Next time someone tells me they have a crappy history and bad youth I can tell them her story. Or at least part of it, its not exactly something you tell everyone…

On a more positive note, the guy who gave his shocking testimony and ran off a few nights ago came back to the rehab, he used heroine a few times and is trying to quit again.

Heather ran off too thursday or fridaynight and came back yesterday, she’s in solitary lockup for two weeks. I kinda feel sorry for her, but its for the best.

Well, gotta get to work now. Bertie’s cleaning up the conference room, so I suppose the weekly meeting will start in a few minutes. Cheers !

// I just heard one of our employees got shot this weekend. He’s in the hospital. :(
