"Testing" my patience!

Hi blogsville, been thinking seriously of what to blog about lately. Well the answer came some minutes back...Have you ever been the newest member of a team only for your colleagues...scratch that even your subordinates to start treating you like "hey you're new here and we are old timers...you really don't know what you're doing so take a back seat”... Well that is the treatment that was meted out to me o...hmmmn if only they know me well... I am not one to put my head down on the slab just like that..I no be mumu...i.e I know my onions and I'm worth every bit of it!!!(Stole this phrase from my bruva-in-law!!!) Anyhues got to this new office...new team mates etc...Not necessarily a new job o! And I got the "new comer" treatment as I call it... The funniest part of it all is that the people that do this are the ones with little or no authority at all in the organisation!!!lol...I guess everybody loves to map out their territory...but hey I am not here to

TGIF plus a teeny weeny bit of gist(random blog)

Hey peops...I know I've been AWOL and I promise you my reasons are solid...been busy to my bones... Well this is as random an update as it can be...decided to do this after mailing one of the bloggers I follow faithfully to always update(pot calling kettle black shey?) Oooh well! I am happy it is almost Friday...in fact by the time I post this, it should be Friday...I used to wonder what the excitement about the day was when I was a student and Friday,Saturday Sunday and Monday etc were alike as far as I was concerned then; it was for STUDYING...talk of having no LIFE! Well now...I look forward to my weekends and savour every second of it hungrily. To the students(and I mean full time pls...no part timers thank you!)...I am wishing you a very wonderful weekend...you can take a chill pill this weekend and if anybody complains...tell them I said so ;-)...to the "non-students"... enjoy your weekend wisely... Well as you can see...this is just me trying to keep in touch...alr

Internet at Work...to browse or not to browse...?

My people how una dey! It's been a wonderful weekend for me and I hope yours was as great as mine.Monday is just around the corner and meeen ko funny!(it is not funny!). Which brings me to what I want to ask...If I want to be faithful to my employer, does that mean blogging at work and checking the internet is out of the question? Is it even okay to send personal mails on one's work email? Okay the truth is the company policy/employee hand book says it is not right...my argument is: if I dedicate most of my time(9-5) to work, and my work is top notch in every aspect, why can't I use the internet,work mail if I choose to?please don't tell me I have my 1hour lunch 'cos I am not a horse jo! you work a horse till it is dead tired and then you give it just enough time to gain it's strength back just so that you can work it again...oh no...not me! I'm not having issues with my employer or anything of that nature...but it is something I brood on often. Even when I

Hello my peops...to the Nigerians amongst y'all (I happen to be one as well!) I'm saying HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! No pun intended but have you noticed that Nigerians are very unique people? I can't explain it but the truth is...we have the X factor...we stand out,we are intelligent people,very warm,very stylish,very classy,very informed,very sharp...yes I said very sharp...by the way when you suppress sharp people,what you get is 419ers(con men) 'cos there's no avenue/oppourtunity to express their creativity!!! Anyways I am not blogging about the con men today, I am celebrating the amazing country called Nigeria...I know we've come a long way 48years is not a joke. I know we're taking baby steps at the moment but I know that with time and that is very soon(in my very own life time o!) we will be taking giant strides! Half of what we've gone through and are still going through doesn't occur in other countries before war errupts...but we are scaling t
