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?

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...

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...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
