He is noughts, how can he call his ‘former’ babe to advice him on how to toast a new babe? It doesn’t make sense because knowing him, he needs no advice. Well, ’tis pretty incomprehensible; as in he amazes me every time. But then, ‘tcould be because he ‘digged’ the babe so much and didn’t want a situation where if he moved on which she has continually told him she has she comes back. Pray tell, how can such happen? Well, it did to one of his friends; and by the time they talked, his former babe hey, why you say former and not ex? Ex is not as deep said she made a childish move to have quit the relationship. Her bad luck. No, it ain’t so easy; ’tis not just the babe that lost out. The guy suffers as much pains, ‘cos he did love her then and if she had as much as come back moments before he asked his present babe out or even the little time lapse before Ms. Present said yes, he would have taken her back. The former must have given him ‘love drugs’, abi what else can explain that? On the contrary, I think he loved her. But, come why are we talking love and relationships? Abeg, let’s talk about money……….

Management called. Ha, tell me they are romancing you again? No, they know I don’t intend a move at the moment. So, what were they trying to sell you this time since they didn’t succeed in the car issue then? Don’t mind them oh, they put me on the hot seat. How? They wanted my opinion on how to make our studio you know we have two studios, a senior colleagues heads the other one more effective. Pray tell, what did you say? At that moment, I wished they had not asked. Why? I would have been silent. So, what did you tell them? While I concurred with them on the few changes they had in mind which includes changing my seating position. New position, I like not but, understand with their rational, I told them they had to disable the internet (as long as the intranet is in perfect working conditions) till like say 5.00pm. Why you suggest that? They wanted my opinion, don’t worry, ’twas not an easy call. It means I can’t blog during office hours again. I know that is one of the major things that hinder the productivity of guys. Hey, I didn’t like it but then, ’twas a call I had to make.

Come oh, how did you do it that management calls you before they make such decisions are made? Remember the same thing happened when they wanted guys to stop bringing their laptops to the office. Hmmm, that is a tough one. But, let’s say ’tis because ‘m quiet. You quiet, lailai. Wait now, amongst my friends we back-slap one another; we let our guards down. But, the people in your office are your colleagues though, you might develop friendships with some as such, you simply cannot behave as if you are amongst friends. However, another reason is that I don’t bother fighting for a lost cause. You lost me there. I’ll give you an example; I’d rather negotiate a commission rather than salary increase. Commission?, you definitely are not serious. Understand you not that as long as its salary, ’twill never be enough. Moreover, ’tis usually subject to someone’s good mood et al. So, how can you negotiate commission? Simple, you never go to the negotiation table if you cannot walk away. In essence, you must have something differs from industry to industry to offer. Hey, enough, let’s talk about something else……….

Another year runs out, ’tis been a pretty good year………………. God has simply been faithful. But then, that is who He is. He cannot be otherwise.
