Moving Up..
15 years ago
Now this is quite something, finally a journal where I'm not posting about going on holiday =P Went away 6 times in one year...that's insane! 7 if I include going away briefly for New Years o.O
Moving up..
In other news, I've moved up from living in a shared house with friends, to renting my own house. Was quite a big jump for me because the previous house was fully furnished, this step required I buy everything of my own. This also means I won't be affording any holidays this year :p Been here nearly 7 months now, things are going well :)
New line of work
In addition to my current work, I'm now installing & maintaining wireless hotspots for various hotels, guest houses and restaurants. There are certain big franchises I cover exclusively in JHB & PTA :)
Ranting
New Telkom line - nearly R2000 bill for R63 in calls!
I already had my own line here before I moved in (used to work from this house, prevoiusly owned by a friend/colleague), but cancelled temporarily. They say it will take 1-2 weeks to reactivate my old number. After 6 weeks of hearing nothing, they suddenly explain a R700 deposit I have to pay. Then they install the wrong number, and the line goes down for over 2 weeks. They charged me for a full new installation, a fee to "change my number" and line rental for 2 months. In total I've made R63.06 in calls, and my first Telkom bill comes to R1730.78 excluding ADSL!!!

Curious to know what company you are working for for the wireless....
