  • Back from Paternity Leave

    Posted by Gert du Preez on March 6, 2007 at 5:25 pm

    Hi all,

    Just returned to the saltmine after a couple of weeks on leave. Me and the missus had ourselves a perfect little girl, Carla, born on the 15th Feb.
    Vital Stats: 3.5kg , 56cm length (she’ll fit in the vinyl cutter, SIDEWAYS!)
    I guess I had enough sleep the last 33 years or so, "cause I aint getting any now! The first leave in over 2 years, and I spend it rubbing out winds. At least I’m back at work now, so I can relax 12 hours per day.

    Highly recommended

    Marcella

    My maternal grandfather was named Carlo Gaggiano. As it goes with Aaytaays, I’m told, you swop the "o" for an "a" to change gender.
    Does that mean Michael Jackson should become Marcella Jackson?
