By Friday, I am slowly but surely out of my zombie zone. Life must go on, right? I have done my sim swap and updated all my apps to the Galaxy. My phone rings; luckily, I am up to hear it. It is 8h30. Who could be calling this early in the morning?

Voice: "Hello Princess. How was Europe?"

Me: "Hello Zandile. Europe was fabulous. How are you?"

Zandile: "I cannot wait to see the pictures and hear all the tales. I trust you are well rested?"

Me: "Yes, I am. We can catch up on Monday. I will be coming to your office."

Zandile: "Well, that is the reason for my call. I need you to come with me to Port Elizabeth on Sunday, but I need your details to get the logistics sorted today before I leave the office."

Me: "Did you say Port Elizabeth? This Sunday?

Zandile: "Yes, my dear. You know I trust only you with my people. Your boss tried to offer someone else, but I would rather you go."

Me: "Okay, let me send you my details. However, you know I have to confirm with my boss before accepting. I am already treading on thin ice from the last trip."

Zandile: "I am the customer, and I am always right, so tell her you will be away for a week and will come back Friday morning. I will be with you from Sunday until Tuesday midday."

Me: "Oh, are we running two sessions?"

Zandile: "I will do the opening on Monday and stay a bit for support. On Tuesday, I have a meeting with the area head. So you know I will need your diplomatic skills to help me address him before I choke him. Khwezi, send those details and see you on Sunday."

Me: "Okay, let me call my boss. See you Sunday."

Zandile: "By the way, we have a midmorning flight because I want to go home and see the family, and you are coming with me to see where I grew up."
