So? Can you beat the end of year craziness or do you give up? I recently spoke to someone in the legal profession who said that employees tend to lose their fucking minds around this time of the year. We all know that, but what I wasn’t aware of, was that people tend to steal a shitload more from and at their workplace over the festive season or in the month that leads up to the big holiday. They take chances and just go for it. No long term plan or putting some thought into the consequences. just fokken zik it! Huh? That can’t be? The person who told me this, deals with shitloads CCMA cases and he said this period is the busiest time of the year for them, because peeps are getting laid off because big bosses don’t want to pay bonuses at the end of the year and then the kak spats orals.
I get that people are gatvol and stressed out but jirre, this stealing alles from work because you feel miff is a new one for me. I guess it makes sense though – we live in good old South Africa. I just always thought that the last two months of the year would be the lekker time of the year to hang around at the work place with most bosses klapping expensive holidays and nobody at your graft to really double check your work or lack thereof. I was always a big fan of disappearing off-season and spending less on a lekker holiday that would otherwise be doos expensive. Also I want to be with less people around me to irritate me on my break. Like, December is chill, so fokof in January when everyone gets back and the work vibe is mental and tense. Do fokol in the chill time and don’t be there when the kak spats. It will just make you fokken crazy!
Almal must just take a deep breath. Go stream some fokken TV or something…

#9 Our 5 favourite moments from all five seasons of Ballers Everyone dreams of being the star athlete, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes for the men and women who successfully live that dream.

[feature_headline type=”left, center, right” level=”h2″ looks_like=”h3″ icon=”lightbulb-o”] Our randomized trailer pick of the week [/feature_headline]
Each week we take a number from 1 to 10 from our list of suggestions and put it through a randomizer to choose a trailer to show you. This week it landed on our number 7 spot, Napoleon Dynamite!
Napoleon Dynamite is a high school student from Preston, Idaho who lives with his grandmother, his older brother Kip, and their pet llama, Tina. Kip, 32, is currently unemployed and boasts of spending hours in Internet chat rooms with “babes” and training to be a cage fighter; their grandmother leads a secret life involving mysterious boyfriends and quad-biking in the desert. Napoleon daydreams his way through school, doodling ligers and fantasy creatures, while reluctantly dealing with the assorted bullies who frequently torment him. To make himself appear more interesting and dangerous than he is, Napoleon frequently makes up fantastic stories about himself and responds to being questioned with unprovoked anger.
Inspired by a poster at the school dance, Pedro decides to run for class president, pitting him against Summer Wheatley, a popular yet arrogant girl at the school. This is his story:
