We were visiting my girls in Johannesburg and had a get together at Bern’s sister’s house two months ago.
We watched the Rugby which we won OF COURSE and then we moved outside for the mandatory game of Kings. What is it about my girls and their cousins and friends that insist we play Kings? I mean I don’t even like alcohol unless its Hooligan juice of course.
We sat around the table and as the evening wore on the girls started reminiscing about working together and the fun they had and the nonsense they got up to.
Sarah would go and plaster one of the supervisors with Urgent and Fragile stickers all over him, Cait and Leanne would have races on the offices chairs with wheels while they were waiting for the trucks to pull into the depot in the evenings. Their joyous festivities were not interrupted as these antics brought great relief and laughter to the depot which was seriously needed at that time.

Like little children they scooted off on the chairs shouting
“Catch Me Catch me” followed closely by screams of excitement and that thrill of being chased was quite obvious in their voices.
Leanne and Cait used to sit next to each other in the customer services department and more than once Bern had to admonish them for chatting and giggling like school girls. One day they were over tired and were giggling uncontrollably at everything. The tone of the phone, the way they were dressed, the colour of the sky, anything and everything.
Eventually Bern had had enough and told them they had to separate and moved Leanne to the other side of the office.
Cait turned to Leanne and said “My mommy says we can’t play at my house anymore! So you stay at your house and I will stay on mine!”
Well the office was no longer a professional place after that comment and even Bern joined in -in the laughter.
Sarah was working in Customer services before they moved offices and was sharing an office with our dear friend who joined us for singing lessons in our Kitchen. When we all decided to have a last minute party. Well she was looking for sponsors for her hubby for his racing boat career.
She asked Sarah to make a few calls as well. Sarah phoned a Transport Company and asked to speak to the Manager who handled the sponsorship. Well the receptionist explained that he was unavailable. So Sarah asked when she could phone back. The receptionist said
“I have no clue as he has just been run over by one of our trucks.” So nonchalantly and so precise without any emotion. Well Sarah and our friend collapsed in fits of laughter as they thought this was very funny. That was the end of the conversation
In the previous depot the offices were upstairs and there was a balcony which overlooked the floor.
We would all gather on the floor by the roller door and have coffee and share a story two about how our day had gone. One of the CSD girls who will remain nameless was sharing her previous evening of passion with us as only girls can do. I will not go into detail; however I will say that there was one time she was in a position which could only be described as the Dead Budgie position.
She went on to explain that she is not as supple as she used to be and was finding it very hard to breathe. A woman’s body parts are not removable as they sit under your chin thereby preventing you from breathing.

Imagination is a wonderful thing and of course we all visualized what she was talking about and sympathized about the NOT so supple statement as most of us could relate. Out of the blue, we heard this voice from the heavens so to speak.
“Oh really, well I have never had a problem doing the dead budgie myself!” exclaimed Michael. He had been listening to our whole conversation and was enjoying the eaves dropping session tremendously.
The CSD staff member who will still remain nameless was mortified and ran out the warehouse floor and hid in the Ladies Toilet for quite some time. After that we made sure there was not hidden audience.
