Money. My behavior. My Job.

I had not imagined going a week with a lean purse, having to ransack this pocket and that account for some mere change. I do not like to borrow, except it is necessary.

I was coming to this point. I was a bit touchy yesterday. Kiity wouldn't have noticed it. I had to say something about it today. I didn't like the fact that I was thinking of money. I had laughed during the week when I realised my job could not keep me up. I had known for some months now that I was just on the edge. I had reduced the travels and others. I don't feel I have to live this way.

I'm also tired of the job. Not because of the money but the work itself. I had complained some 6 months back and here I am again. Complaining. The change of role helped a little bit but I do not feel fulfilled in it. I get to see the company from a different perspective as I work with the No. 2 as my colleagues will call her in the Company. Do not get me wrong, She is an amazing woman and a hard worker. I like her attitude to work and the solutions she brings to the table. But I'm not satisfied. A million naira per month pay will only extend my rant for 3 months. I will come back here to complain before taking an action.

I have been thinking about continuing my job with VIPL or BEDC whichever one you call it. Putting the pen to paper could do a lot of good for me and for the company. Come July, I have to make the decision. It's always an easy one when I get to the point. I would hold still here on this issue.  

Someone asked a question.  why work with a company if you don't like it there? Why not leave? Instead of complaining, do something about it. Hmm, What do I do?

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...

The Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...
