I think not!

This weekend was heading along the same old route all my weekends head along in this place. A few beers under the tree followed by a few bottles of wine on Saturday night. Good stuff.

Sunday morning the usual hangover and crawl out to breakfast. Not so good stuff but food is always worth getting out of bed for. The great thing about Sundays of course is the ability to get back into bed for a snooze after breakfast.

Things then changed soon after going back to sleep. I received a call from one of my work mates saying he needed help setting up a laptop for a newcomer. For sure, no problem, I’m always happy to help a mate out. I walk outside to where they are and to my surprise, wow, a female! The camp just got better.

Anyway, while going through the process of setting her up on the network we got chatting (which turned into an afternoon full of beer and wine) and this is where things turned a little spooky. If you recall a few months ago I was talking about my ultimate plans for my life? I will recap ever so quickly:

• Quit my job
• Move back to South Africa
• Get my Commercial Pilots License
• Fly in Botswana for a year or so accumulating necessary hours to get a good job
• Fly for an organization that does medivac support or medical supplies in and around Africa
• Start my own aviation company doing the same and more

Right, so now I have quit, I am moving back to South Africa in 2 weeks and I have signed up for my commercial license. Now this is when {Insert Name}, the new medic in the camp, shows up. She is such a nice person and extremely generous. Her sister is involved with one of the top air charter companies in Botswana and she said she can put in a good word for me. She is also a medic and has extensive medivac and medical supply experience with an international company in South Africa. She can put me in touch with necessary people to get in the door there too should I desire! She has even invited me to go to Namibia and Botswana with her sometime over the coming months / year and introduce me to her family and people in both places in the industry that besides being really kewl people, will also be extremely beneficial to know later.

How kewl is that? Certainly in this industry it’s all about who you know well above what you know.

You see, the universe does listen! So be careful what you tell it!

“The physical universe applauds action, not thought!”

Viva my new life!
