I have been smodel-fied today! The light above my little corner in zi office went out like a few weeks ago and as is the case with most things in Africa i.e. that we operate on African time, the light guys came to fix it today (8 weeks after it retired)…
What they failed to mention when they gave me the wonderful gift of light is that I will be subjected to massive amounts of dazzling illumination that sees me sitting at my desk with sunglasses on! So pulling a Paris!!!
What’s even more hilarious is that everyone who walks past me gives me this weird look and for a moment I can see they are actually contemplating asking me if I realise that I am working, indoors, with dark sunglasses on! The training manager even gave me a sympathetic smile. Great, so now she thinks my imaginary boyfriend beats me up, just tastic!
The incandescent flood lights make me feel like I am on set for something exciting; all I am waiting for is someone sitting in a blue chair to yell:
“PLACES PEOPLE!”

Truly horrible. I often find myself wearing sunglasses long after the sun has set, funnily enough most often while I'm driving. Because they're gorgeous glasses and besides I suppose I worry people will recognise me and demand my autograph and whatnot.
