Bizarre coz I never showed that I could be disturbed or sad. They say my smile and my behaviour always brings a smile on others and my good mood is contagious… To quote ‘You bring the sunshine wherever you go’… Yeah well sometimes the clouds impose themselves on the sun and force it to take the backseat…
Well somehow things either got better suddenly and then again after a couple of days things get back to the same point… Anyway, what can I say? Life without its vicissitudes wouldn’t be that interesting. Gosh I do sound like an optimistic fool!!!
Things are so-so at my workplace. I discovered what could really repulse me in someone’s attitude. Believe me or not but when a guy was talking about a woman he saw (mind you he is married) and he did a ‘slurp’ sound I felt my stomach churn!!! I felt such a wave of disgust that I couldn’t stop myself from saying out loud ‘Who did this???’. I was well-aware of the fact that he was the one who did it and he said ‘Am sorry’. I said ‘Is this the way you speak about women??? That’s really disgusting!!!’ And that fucker had the guts to ask ‘Why?’ !!!!!!!!!! C’mon man if someone spoke like this about your wife or even your mother am sure you will sock him in the face!!! And respect the other women who can hear what you are saying!!! Go outside and keep on ‘slurping’ with your friend since you don’t know the value of a woman!!!
Another thing he told another colleague was ‘You should never devaluate the ego of a man’ And I asked ‘And what about women?’ And a colleague next to me told me to ‘shut up’ in not a very nice manner. I wanted to lift him off his chair and do something not recommended but I told him with my composure not to speak to me ever again if he cannot show some respect. And that’s it. We haven’t spoken since. And he sits next to me. Tsssst…
We took group photographs and they came out well. The few ladies that are there in the office really think out loud when they see me applying my lipstick after each meal. So what if am going home in a while??? How can it bother them if am doing something that is a nice feminine habit? And that too people I never speak to!!! How can it bother them that much???
A colleague’s Mom passed away and it was more than an hour’s drive from my place. I went to see him and lost my way a couple of times. But another colleague came to meet me at some point and I followed her car till there. It was hard. But well I needed to go there coz we are very friendly to each other. He thanked me for calling him up on the eve to show my sympathy. I hugged him and spoke a bit to him. We stayed for half an hour and then I drove back home. Was tired. Back was aching but that’s ok.
Am continuing my entry after a few days… Let’s say a week!!! Yeah was damn busy as usual… Sigh… Well I had to come back 3 hrs early from work on Friday. Coz my fever was going up. Today there is some improvement but I hope by Monday will feel better. There was another funeral I had to attend this week… Another colleague’s Dad passed away. We are all getting worried at the office… We dunno if it is all a coincidence. We are having doubts. This month 3 of my colleagues’ relatives passed away. That too within a week… Hope this will stop! Coz it’s not normal… Either we are sick or there is a death…
Anyhow, I will stop here for today. Gotta take some rest. Tried to catch up with my mails but still I feel it’s not enough. There are so many things I need to do and I really want to spend time with my family. But I just can’t find the time to do so… Not enough. My working schedule is catapulting everything.
Alright then, hope it won’t be another month before my new entry. Can’t promise anything though… Till then take care and enjoy life!
