As a lot of you already know I have quite my job 2 days ago as a Technical Helpdesk Agent for a major corporation and started yesterday as a Volunteer Coordinator at a Cheetah Breeding facility.
I came upon this job by chance and was accepted right away because of my broad expertise in various fields.
I was really over the moon when I heard that 3 weeks ago and then the long wait started.
Those 3 weeks were the proverbial pain in the @ss.
But eventually it ended and I packed my suitcase and headed off the next morning to fulfill my dream.
I got there after having ventured myself through the Jo'burg morning travel and put my stuff in my own little Rondawel
After unpacking I ventured about the property, the owners were out doing what they had to do, and took in the sights and sounds of the place.
I immediately found my spot for my sun-downers overlooking this
After lunch the owners came back and the volunteers were introduced to me and I went about with the first chore of the day.
It was also my last chore of the day.
Getting acquainted with Jade. The baby of the group placed under my care.
Jade is about 14 months now
She really is a beautiful cat with a great temperament.
And after having seen the sun off with a Klippies and Coke in hand I decided to call it a day and take a shower and head off for bed.

Better to regret what you have done, than what you haven't

You lucky, lucky blighter. I'm greener than a green thing on greenday in Greenland.
Have a great time in your new job. Looking forward to seeing more of Jade and the other animals there.
I just hope that you can cope with this new lifestyle. Let me know if you are struggling and I'll swap with you immediately. -O

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Penga, wishing you the best with your career change.
Does the place have 'open days' - is the public allowed to visit ?
