15 days... How misleading! The fact is, to me the season has already started. Much of my time has been taken up chasing those involved in finishing our little orange plane in time. And time is running short - real quick. The last flight to leave Gauteng is midnight on Sunday the 23d. My slight panic is not for no reason either - the little plane is still in Durban. Between Durban and the Gauteng airport is not just distance but the chasm of clearing agents, customs, foreign exchange controls and banks (anybody with experience of customs will realise that three days to clear an important item is risky business!) all of which is trying their damnest to prevent our little plane from make that crucial flight. How we ended up here with a bit of a rush is a fair question too. Truth is a few of Solowings key factory personnel has been send home with the dreaded flu and work at the factory suffered - understandably one cannot take any chances with this little piggy flu...
Hhhmm...
Of course, my take is a dramatic one. Done on purpose. This is such a natural way of doing and looking at things that it becomes so easy to get caught in negativity even if slight. Everyone has been going out of their way to help get our little baby onto that critical flight. It is encouraging and heart warming to see people stretched yet remaining helpful, truly going that extra distance. Maybe though, it could just be the right use of a smile and those two little words of please and thank you. And not the pasted ones but the real deal. Just maybe...
