Eminyakeni eminingana edlule, ngangisebenza emnyangweni wokucutshungulwa kwamagama wenkampani enkulu, umnyango owake wabucayi owawungenziwa ungasebenzi ngamakhompyutha wanamuhla. IMicrosoft Office yayisho ukuthi noma ngubani enkampanini angenza imisebenzi yethu. Inhloko yomnyango wami bekufanele ithathe ikilasi ukuze ifunde ukusebenzisa igundane, kodwa ibiyisisebenzi esinesikhathi eside sisondele kakhulu ekuthatheni umhlalaphansi, ngakho-ke ibingafuni noma ngubani abone ukuthi umnyango wethu awunasidingo kangakanani.

Nsuku zonke, mina nengangihamba naye sasilinda incwadi evela kwesinye isikhathi ukuthi ihlole amaphutha noma ifake umbiko, ngokuvamile ize. Futhi ngenkathi sisalindile, besingavunyelwe ukufunda izincwadi noma ukubhekabheka kwi-inthanethi, ngoba umuntu ubengadlula abone ukuthi asisebenzi. Sasivunyelwe kuphela ukwenza izinto ezisuselwa embhalweni kukhompyutha. Inhloko yomnyango wami yayingenandaba nokuthi, inqobo nje uma kungekho muntu odlula ngendlela ongabona ukuthi asikho kanzima emsebenzini.

Mhlawumbe bekufanele ngabe ngisebenzise leso sikhathi ukuxazulula izimfihlakalo zomhlaba, njengoba u-Einstein enza esebenza ehhovisi lobunikazi. Kepha esikhundleni salokho, ngabuyela othandweni lwami lokudlala.

Njengoba ngangingena nsuku zonke, angizange ngazi kuphela umdlalo uqobo, kodwa nabanye abadlali. Ngaqala ukwakha ubungane obedlula umdlalo. Ngokushesha, ngangishintshana ngezinombolo zocingo, amaphakheji okunakekelwa, nezingxoxo ezinde ezazingaphansi ngamathiphu angaphakathi kwegeyimu nokuningi ngempilo, indawo yonke nakho konke i-IRL.

I-adventure enkulu kakhulu

Noma ngabe izigwebo zami zazinzima, abangane bami babengenankinga yokuqonda isibhamu esibekwe kahle e-Counterstrike noma isu elenziwe ngokucophelela eCarcassonne.

Angazi noma bengizoyikhipha eJalimane ngaphandle kwemidlalo njengolimi lwendalo yonke phakathi kwabangane bami. Kodwa sengineminyaka engu-17 ngilapha. Mina nomyeni wami sishadile sijabule, futhi sisadlala imidlalo eminingi ndawonye njengangaphambili.

Indodana yethu eneminyaka emihlanu isiqala ukukhombisa uthando lwayo lokudlala, futhi.

Bajika umsebenzi wami oyisidina kakhulu waba yi-adventure yami enkulu, bathandana futhi bathuthela phesheya. Futhi bahlanganise iqembu labangane elihle eliye lahlala amashumi eminyaka.

Imfihlo yothando lweqiniso?

Asisodwa, futhi. Namuhla, abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe bathola ukuxhumana nokwakha ubudlelwano ngokudlala. Yize ukudlala ividiyo kuvame ukubhekwa njengokuzijabulisa kowesilisa, ucwaningo lukhombisile ukuthi cishe abesifazane abaningi bangabadlali abajwayelekile, mhlawumbe nangaphezu kwamadoda. Ucwaningo lwango-2015 olwenziwe yiPew Research Centre luthole ukuthi abantu besifazane abaningi kunabesilisa banezinduduzo zemidlalo.
