Birthday shout out - again, yep it seems half my team was born in the month of May, also George Clooney and Henry Cavill - so you know gentleman, if your Hollywood careers don’t work out and you want to come work for about 0.0002% of your usual earnings - our door is always open, but while we wait for them, let me focus on our own Batman that does already work here, Tertius Gous .
I think I can speak for everyone when I say, Tertius is the most popular person on our team, hands down. I need somebody to assemble a team for a far trip, simply tell them Tertius is going. I’ve personally done more of these trips with him than I have with almost anyone else on the team and the thing is, if he’s there, the time simply flies by - that is the power of my friend, Tertius. He is someone that always converses, that can make valuable contributions to basically any topic, has a general knowledge that puts my own to shame, but most importantly, never feels the need to dominate conversations. He never speaks over people or tries to force his opinion and although it’s a simple thing - it has become increasingly rare and is something that makes me truly appreciate him as a friend and person.
Now I should probably say something about him as a photographer…I mean, he’s okay, I’ve seen him take a few usable photos; he has this lovely ability to capture his own camera bag in the background of his photos that poor Pyper has to Photoshop out every time - I’m kidding of course, well not about the camera bag thing; I swear one day I’m going to start selling 24-hour access passes to the Boland WhatsApp group to give you all a front row seat to the daily banter. But on a serious note, he is not only incredibly talented, but is also someone that you want on the frontline with those weddings where nothing seems to be going right, because no amount of pressure can ever break Tertius.
Overall, Tertius is one of my favourite people, not only at Boland, but just life in general. Even though we’ve never hung out socially outside of work, I do consider him to be one of my best friends, and is someone I greatly admire and respect for his kindness, work ethic, and just the person that he is. Baie geluk Sexy, laat vandag die beste een nog was.
As always, let's show some love by following him on Insta:
