It wasn't me!

How often do we cast blame on someone else because we do not want to put our own neck on the block?
Whenever a situation turns out unfavourable, it always has to be someone else...This has been since creation (Adam & Eve), still is (just look around you at your place of work) and will forever be (I know you know that this will be the case when its your own neck too). Lol!

Even when we are caught red-handed, we always find someone else to blame...(Ask the devil, even when he was busy on another mission, it just had to be him).
I am guilty of this too. When things do not go according to plan, its so easy to blame it on someone else, especially if such a person is:

  1. not present
  2. subordinate to you
  3. can't defend himself (herself) 
Someone blamed me at work for something I had no control over sometime back. I was seething, but there was not a thing I could do about it because the person was "my senior"...I could only get mad, but that was the most I could do...
Then it got me thinking. If the person had taken the heat, he/she would not have died, but he/she decided to look good in front of his superior and make me the "bad person" I felt bad, but I somehow learnt a very big lesson. I hope I never do that to someone else.


I saw this picture and thought I would share it... I guess it says it all!!! If you really look at it, you will just shake your head and call the man names, but...(check yourself well)


Besides, the time you spend casting blame can be used to make right the situation...do something about it!!!

Have a beautiful week people!!!

Happy Birthday Audu... 
I love you to pieces, and I wish you the very best in your life.
May your life be a very sweet aroma to all that know you.
You are indeed a superstar!!!

"Distrated"

Permit me to use this new word coined from Disappointed and Frustrated. Thank you. And no, I don't feel this way right now at all. Far from it. On the contrary I am on a high. *wink* Ok. I promised to do a post on my jewellery project, but I'll still get to do it. This story has been pushing itself to me since yesterday and share it I must. There was a Retreat for some of my colleagues  in May, and I was to be a part of it. Notice for the Retreat was rather short and it actually conflicted with my brother-in-Law's (BIL) wedding. Well, the retreat was in Benin for Tuesday to Friday, and the wedding was in Kwara State for Friday and Saturday. This meant I had to pack a suitcase for the 2 events, right? Well, my MIL had graciously sent me the fabrics (Aso-ebi) for the Traditional and Church wedding, and I still hadn't found a tailor to help me make something really nice. (I wanted to dress to impress my would be in-laws). AS time was running out, I ditched...

Bored

Isn't it weird that I have a job, and yet I am bored. As a matter of fact, I have 2 jobs, and yet, I can't seem to find any interest in them any more. I wonder what happened? Once upon a time I used to be very very excited about one of the jobs. It was like the coolest thing after leaving the banking industry. But recently, I seem to get "hungry". Not hungry for food, but hungry to do more. Make no mistake, my desk is always full to capacity with work, I just feel there is a lot I can do that I am not doing. Like I am being underutilized. To make matters worse, everyone around me (my 2nd job) has gone for a training, and I wasn't included in the list. It makes me wonder... Anyway, I'm in the office by myself of all the colleagues in my subsidiary group, and I have a dozen and one things to do, and yet I am BORED!!! My mind is telling me its time to find "food"...wherever that may be! I need to get back to my newsletter, its long overdue for ...

All of it...

Hello lovely people of blogsville!!! I hope you missed me half as much as I missed you? :) I am seriously clearing cobwebs, spiders, bats and all from this blog.  So I am married now shaaaaaa...after what, 3 years of dating this guy? God has been faithful, that the only thing I can say. I really want to thank you for all the congratulatory messages, tweets, love and all. God bless you all. You know you and you know I know you too. lol! Thanks a lot for still sticking to this blog, It honestly means a lot to me. To all my new followers, I appreciate you too! Ha, I went to the moon to "drink honey", and I am back to reality real time. Its been like 2 years since I took a break from work, and it was a beautiful experience (the honeymoon and the break from work) I tell you. Not that I haven't been entitled to a break, but I always tie them down to events, exams and what not, so I haven't really rested per say. I fear I have so much to say that I don...
