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.

:-)

Bold Faces

Very high fashion.

Do you dare?

The future of our art.

This is my dream, my passion.

The face can be given all kinds of looks but the art of making ugly art look elegant, is a true gift.

Randomizing

is there a word like that?


Thursday was the worst kind of experience i have ever had when it comes to Lagos traffic. i left the office just after 5pm and did not get home until past 10!
at least thank God i was not driving if not i for park for one side of road.
it was horrible.

to make matters worse there was a lady and guy sitting behind me who were just talking and talking and going on and on about people in the office. i think she had a particular biff for a fellow lady worker. kai! she finished the poor woman.


their conversation began right from sitting down till the end of the journey.
yes, journey cuz that was what it was. gosh, i wanted to tell them to just shut up!!!

to make matter worse again they started complaining about some very loud ibo boys who were doing the exact same thing. talking and bitching about everything and everyone.

people. perfect people.


looking for a good tagline for my business and an ad i want to put up in one of these free publications. Just a start there. this business must grow in Jesus name.
it's not just sounding right.
i need to consult. this is fun sha.
*sigh*

i hail and respect people in advert companies. clients coming in screaming "i want something different. something never heard or seen before. e no easy.

this my job don dey tire me no be small. tension everyday. on top what now? the job just sucks this morning big time. time to pray harder. all my efforts in other areas must come to pass in postive flying colours. MUST!

attended a wedding in IB on Saturday. it was nice. but Ibadan don change o! they now have chicken republic. we past 3 on our way in. that is good. aaand listened to Rick Dees on our way out. that was good too. i love me my Rick. lol.

i hear Adam Lambert, my idol, is already recording his first single and it being done with the producers of Lady Gaga's album. i am too sure we will be getting some amazing sounds. the guy CAN sing and they produce fat beats. so... you do the maths. i wish him all the best. i will buy his CD.

i need a change of career. time to live out my dream. my passion. stay tuned for clips of that.

on a last note, i think i'm falling again :-). the battle has begun.

Deception

this is what you get when you rely on meeting people on the internet.

cute.

Cruel Joke

So, i practically flew home yesterday to watch the idols grand finale. weaving in and out of traffic like the cops were after me. got home, checked fuel level, put the gen on.

Was enjoying the show. Wow, what a show it was.
Adam was in top form. i mean like mehhhnn... the guy can sing.
His performance with Kiss was off the chain.

Ok, so we get to the part where Ryan announces the winner and as Kris and Adam are holding on to themselves not knowing who'll be the next Idol for 2009. i mean already knew who the winner was but i wanted to experience the crowds reaction. See their looks of surprise and the rest. Just live the moment.
As Ryan was saying "and the next American idol is..." the next thing i saw was "E16 you are not enabled to view this channel or your account has been suspended. please contact the call center for assistance".

WTF! we had paid the subscription. we no owe DSTV na. unbelievable!
i was dumb struck for like 2 mins just steering at the screen. Flipped to other channels, nothing! The red light was on like a traffic sign "STOP". Shit. This can not be happening. we had paid the subscription. we no owe DSTV na. unbelievable.

i call my girl, "J, is your DSTV showing?" she goes "yes, Adam is singing right now".
i could kick someone.
O well, how i go do? i went to the 70s Classic Rock to down my sorrows cuz there was nothing else to do.

This morning someone described me as Risqué.
i find that very strange.
At first i did not know the meaning talk less of understand fully.

Googled it and i got this;


indecent, erotic, ribald, off-color, indelicate, salty, earthy, racy, spicy, suggestive, lewd, sophisticated, adult, naughty, having a double meaning, with a double-entendre, bawdy, improper, coarse, broad, daring, provocative, offensive, salacious, unprintable, not for mixed company, not for Sunday...


Hazardous; risky; esp., fig., verging upon impropriety; dangerously close to, or suggestive of, what is indecent or of doubtful morality; as, a risqué story.

Isn’t that plenty? This definitely could have been milder.
The guy then said it was not so bad. He just meant very interesting.
I have never seen myself in that light. Still don't.

Hmm...

America has voted

I am so stunned.
I’m like ... what happened?
This can not be happening!
But it has happened!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

ADAM LAMBERT DID NOT WIN IDOLS!

He should have won!
I felt him all the way. Every time he opened his lipstick covered lips, I’d be waiting not knowing what to expect, spell bound when the words finally come forth.

This was the best season ever as the contestants showed talent, creativity in interpretation and genuine love for music in the way they wowed the audience with their performances.

This expresses my thoughts perfectly.

This doesn’t mean Adam won't be a star. I believe he will be a star.
He is every song-writers' dream. His natural ability to interpret song was unmatched through out the competition.

Rock on Adam, i will definitely buy your CDs. no doubt.

Sucks

TAKING SUPPLY OF SOMEVERY IMPORTANT SOMETHINGS.
