This new job is seriously killing me 😦 What a stressful industry!! I’ve almost had enough and it’s only been the beginning of my third week there..awww, I feel so drained and exhausted.. Gosh, I’m feeling that I might get grey hairs soon..hahaha.. (a very broken and forced laugh there) 
.. I guess it’s a challenge, if I look at it from another angle~~ Well, what can I say, I’m young and this serves as a major boost for my learning curve… Learn learn learn, ask ask ask!!! This is a tiring job though, need to think sharp, respond promptly and prepare for WAR with shipping lines and transporters…aaah!! Took a break in September, about a week’s duration to spend with my family back home in Bloemfontein, it was such a pleasure to be able to feel free and relaxed again. A well deserved rest, peace and quiet from the busy city life in Johannesburg too. I can’t live without nature, being the outdoorey person that I am, too much of the urban life would frustrate and bury me. I miss the beach…………..
