Huffing and Buffing

Found out Tuesday that my OM traveled without notice. emergency they said.
my ED sends an email that all issues should be channeled to and through me.
when i read the email i was like *WTF is this?! i no want o!*
don't get me wrong, i'm not one to run away from responsibilities. i try to embrace them.
THIS is different!
in fact when she called on the day i did not want to pick up the phone cuz the woman na fire! when you don't think you've done anything wrong she somehow, onekind comes up with something.
ok, i pick the phone and she starts with questions;
1. is the office generator up now? - yup, got the technician to resolve the issue. paid him some cash. will document for refund.
2. what's up with QGH? - i run off my reply. the reply plenty.
3. what are the arrangements for Engineers? - brief run down.

we end with the usual *if anything comes up i'll deal with it*

i won't lie, my OM needs the escape. the stress her no get part 2. if dem wahala me too much me sef go take of go Abuja.

After the email was sent round, someone made a comment that had a lot of hidden meaning. strange behavior then followed. she became some worth hostile towards me. i shook it off cuz i know how not to let somethings bother me. we sha ended up exchanging strong words and me telling her never to come to me for anything!

meanwhile i was dealing with issues pertaining to our guest house which had to do with heavy charges or have your electricity disconnected.
no one is allowed to have a private gen set. there in lies the problem.
our expatriate staff live there and this is unacceptable.

then i get a call that some our engineers who went offshore are returning that very morning and logistics should be put in place to facilitate their return to base. no e dem kan talk sey dem no fit fly. sey dem need to rest, see MD & collect cash for some expenses they had to incur. mean while i had another pick up to do and na oyinbo. they sabi nag.
*we have only 1 driver at present so we have to plan movements carefully*
but this oyinbo is ok sha. for now that is.

on a happier note...
i got a call for a makeup job. white wedding for next month. she said she saw my ad in the free publication, we have discussed and we are good to go. even given a cheque. now that's the way i like it.
yyyeeeahhhhhh! na small small.
Father i thank you.
