Violated

I got into the office today and saw that my space had been raided. I had heard rumours of the burglary during the Strike action, but it didn't really prepare me for what I saw.


My drawer was in serious disarray, and most of the files in the cupboard had been pulled out and left out. It was more disgusting than painful. I have always known that I hate people “scattering” my things, but now I know it’s much more than that. I actually hate people touching my things without my permission.

I felt violated, like someone went through all my things and now has a personal knowledge of me. I do know that my laptop bag was stolen (apparently, it was used to carry someone’s laptop- thankfully, my laptop was locked up in someone’s drawer) but that’s all I can say for now.

This is not the way to start a work week at all, but I am grateful that nothing of importance was taken from me.

Now my question is this, how did the burglar get past the security post without being noticed? When people were busy *occupying Nigeria* for change and progress, this silly cow was busy stealing from the office. If he (generic) didn't want to #occupy why didn't he stay at home and just enjoy the holiday like I did? I really pity the person, because He has been cursed. (Zechariah 5:4)

    Sorry about your violated feeling. You need to carry out an investigation and drill the security guys to give up the thief cos they would have a hand in it.

    Well, number one suspect will be the security personnel, he should be able to give account of what happened.
    You'll get over the scatter scatter soon enough... Have a wonderful week.

    @ P.e.t.projects, they have started their "investigations" and you are right, I have gotten over it already! Still irritated though! (wink)

    Kai! Kpele. People have their own motives when a strike action is on.

      serious motives. When people are struggling to survive, some are acquiring curses and stuff. Yesterday my boo got robbed as he opened the gate to drive out to work!
      Our youths need to be gainfully occupied!!!

"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...
