I could do a long long post about why I have not updated in quite a while, summing up all the things that have been going on and why its been so busy and stuff . But that would constitute an excuse and would only bore you to death. It is pointless to summ up all the reasons why i've been busy because you must know they are valid. I much rather work on my website and hang out with my buddies then do anything else.

But i'll try to give you a little run-down of all the stuff thats going on. Just so you know where I'm at these days.  I realy enjoyed the holidays and took my time to relax and kick back. Right after new year it was time for the big wrap up at the place where I worked. I had three more weeks before I switched jobs so I had to train my replacement and tie up all the loose ends. The fact these people where in the midst of a gigantic migration from W2K to XP did not help to lighten the load. So busy days where very plentyfull and where followed by the occasional crash on the sofa.. To tired to touch a keyboard.

The last day at work was very special. Having worked with great colleagues I was kinda surprised that they had thrown me a little goodbye ceremony. Well , having teased and annoyed them for 2 years did put me up for some major payback, but the kind words they said really touched me. Its not always easy being a Field engineer, fixing everybody's problems.. But on the other hand people realy appreciate what you do. I know "its our job" but .. when people speak out and tell you they are going to miss you .. It is realy touching.

Onto the part why everyone is hitting the blog these last few days : The "Mega Mindy Incident". My colleagues at Phillips knew I was going for a new assignment as 'flying field engineer'. This means : Driving around from client to client, solving their computer problems. Its kinda like being a superhero.. Or like being a baywatch babe .. minus the bikini. So in tune with the whole superhero theme they thought they would give me a suitable goodbey present : They gave me .. A Mega Mindy costume. Mega Mindy (for you foreigners) is the star of a local kids show. Kind of a 21st century tame version of wonder woman (minus the sex appeal)  ... I'll put the video up and then you'll understand.

 

 

So .. Thinking I would be embarrassed , receiving this costume, they also thought I would NEVER put it on .. Not in front of 30 of my colleagues.. They where wrong. I have the balls (you can see it in this suit if it where not for the little purse). So here is me .. as Mega Mindy.

 
                      Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? No .. its Mega (mindy) Knightwise.

          Me and the Goon Squad : Steven (on the left) And Stoffel (on the right).

 

    The superhero catches the vilain and rescues the babe. In this case Kurt and An :)

Hi there, 
 
For a musical we do at school for our toddlers, we need a Mega Mindy costume for an adult. 
Could we please buy yours? :-)) 
 
Kind regards,

Knighwise wears a pink suit. You should do some videopodcast in that suit.
