From a simple idea - wearing to work an orange t-shirt sponsored by Unisa for Traditions 2 - came the idea of potfriday. Well, it's actually PoTT Friday. But potfriday sounds cool and enigmatic, does it not. The idea was Dr Burns' or as he is otherwise known, Prof Ashley Van Niekerk's. He probably couldn't think of anything else to wear on the day. So he wore his bright t-shirt to work on that Friday and from that came the brilliant idea of having a potfriday, where there would be a metaphoric pot of something and everyone in the office would wear their sponsored Traditions t-shirts on Fridays - for who wants to wake up on a Friday and think about what to wear? Now how can such a brilliant idea not be celebrated and made official. This called for a launch of the idea, which in turn called for a (kinda) pot of FOOD, a very common tradition in this place: any excuse to have some cake, samoosas, apple crumble, biscuits. Oh, and some fruit and good laughter. The commencement of was meant to take place on Friday 2 March, but because we continue to change traditions wherever we find them - and what are traditions if not betrayed - Friday was moved to Monday 05 March! How can this outfit not be productive...everyone has had enough dose of sweetness to last the whole month...Well, before then, there will probably be another reason to have good food with great colleagues!!! Thanks to a successful launch and may we continue to embrace the colour orange!!!
