One thing pissing me the hell off....

...right now is my Job.

I don tire....as in for real. I am grateful I have a job in Nigeria becos its hard getting a good paying job like this one these days. But this one is really beginning to irritate me.

I cant call it a job...its more like 'work'. I dont want to have to sleep with anyone to get ahead...I dont want to kiss arse to get ahead...I dont want to scheme and tear people down to get ahead...

I'd like to be promoted based on merits....but its taking a longer time and it hurts me to see those whose only professional skill rests in their bossom and "mouth"and rear end, getting ahead while those who just want to do the job to the best of their ability are treated like modern day slaves.

Monday starts and I pray earnestly for friday...I pray for 5pm each day.... I wake by 4am and i'm thinking 'let it rain...let the unions go on strike...let the office not open today'' Just so I have a reason not to go.

I know I should resign right? I mean if I'm praying for public holiday every week then I really shouldnt be in that office. But if you are in Nigeria you know its not as easy as that...there are bills to pay...there is a lifestlye to uphold. And I like money.....

What do I do? I cant think of any skills I have that could make me say ''oh yes imma work for myself'

But I'm just so tired and unhappy with this place. I mean this is where I spend 11 hours and more of my life span everyday....it drains me.... it gives me sleepless nights... it makes me wake up in the middle of the night looking for chocolates or anything sweet to sweeten the thoughts in my head

Chocolate+cake+middle of night+sleep= Fat
Coffee+morning+kitkat+afternooninoffice= Cranky

Fat+Cranky= No normal social life
No normal social life = Unhappy + No normal Boyfriend

Unhappy+ No normal boyfriend =




Heaven please send me someone to love.....

  1. awwww I'm sorry you are going through that. I would say that you should still look around if possible for a job you would be happy at. And it wouldn't hurt to do an after office hobby (so you'd have something to look forward too u know) maybe join a gym or a church group... :) Cheer up, and keep your head up doing the right thing! God dey :D

  6. Hey babe

    Excellent write up, here are some of my suggestions

    1. Work: Make it more interesting for yourself by 'networking'. Find out what your colleague's job entails and see if your skills are best suited there...or go to a completely different department sef. Find out what they do, in a lighthearted manner and only during your break of course.
    Also begin to update and push your CV's.

    2. Prepare yourself for that person na. Love yourself and that includes your mindset. What makes the inner you happy? Making other people happy makes me happy sha. Maybe you can renew your mind by spending less time worrying about things in your life that you cant change and more time caring for someone else. Maybe dad or mum? Remember some people look strong but they are just waiting for a hug, a gift, a smile to brighten their days

    3. Try dancing or singing? After your prayers, spend time singing or stepping sef.

    Wish you the best Nutty
