The Work Situation
After the send off, I was called back. Then two weeks into the year, I get a fatter offer somewhere else. But like Pink says, “there’s the comfort associated with staying with an employer you know.” I remember saying that I would love to delacre I Quit. But I found out its not easy. Being the only one who was retained and being very close to my two bosses. Am now in a situation where I am waiting for them to fire me, then take that other position which still available. Being very few in the office, the work load has been overwhelming! Its been tiring, and with little returns if any. My time here has been curtailed as a result.
The Recession Bites
Business has been low. Low Low Low. Been low that I am DITC-ing (Digging In The Crates) what was made months ago. All the same, there is a bit of a flicker this month. I am not going o go down though. I’ll fight this thing tooth and nail.
The School Situation
School, had to put back the date to March. However, everything pertaining to this has been put in place. Cant wait to find myself inside a class. I am not backing out of this one. I am tired of jua kali stuff.
The Home Front
Nephew moving out soon as the mother is back. Has been one of the reasons I have been on the Lunatic Express. Looking forward to taking some home whenever an opportunity comes along. But I have to get a nice restaurant too. He did save me alot on that part.
The Committee Man
This year I have 5 friends who want to quit the bachelor and bachelorette world. Very close friends. I am in the committees that are organizing the dowers and the walks on the aisles. Matter of fact, I am tagged to be the best man in two of those! I dont know what other churches (besides the Roman Catholic) or the law says about being best man and you are not anywhere close to even having a relationship
It scares me that am being left behind. But at the same time, I am in no hurry. Got alot to take care off before I can join them. Then again, am not a fan of weddings. One of my friends, Cole getting hitched this year is. Most of the Saturdays I called him last year, he always said, “I am at my aunt’s cousin’s uncle, my boss’s brother, my workmate’s sister’s my fiance’s aunt wedding. Weddings weddings weddings! Damn! May be he was doing a research or something. The idea of being in a committee is not even funny. But then again I have to be there for my friends.
This other buddy P who got married three years ago without their parents consent (but it was for all the good reasons) and this is how it went down. Someone takes to him those papers that people sign to his office, he sings. Then the someone takes a matatu to a certain estate’s beauty shop and she signs. They meet in the evening hug, kiss, then dinner. The parents are still in the dark as most of their friends except 4 or 5 of us and now you. This year, they want to make it known so they can live together. I am the mix for having signed as a witness to this. We are supposed to over see a smooth transition that doesnt get the parents knowing what happened three years ago. Suggestions are welcomed on how to do this are welcomed.
In Other News
My immediate former (never mentioned before here) and whom we didn’t last a year, was born on 29th of this month. Last year I played gentleman and got her something. We haven’t spoken in a very long time. I don’t know if it will be insensitive of me to ignore her when we get to 28th and 1st of March. Matter of fact I dont know why I am even thinking about it because I deleted the number and many other numbers about 5 weeks ago. But at the same time, whats the most sober way to handle the situation?
Off to see whats been cutting at yours.
I have done Bestman duty a couple of times and sorry there is no requirement of having to be in a relationship, actually on the marriage certificate it only says ‘witness’ so just get your suit (and speech!) ready.
That part of getting new suits sounds nice. Speeches! Damn! I think I’ll have to get the finest of cognac to master some courage!
Good luck with job the outlook for us also is bleak we have been warned not to expect increments this year!
Good luck too lets hope things get better
It’s nice to have you back. Really is {{{Gream}}} I know dudes don’t like hugs, but shauri zako, this is for me.
This one I take gladly. {{{pinkm}}}
and thank you
Despite everything, I have a bright view of this year, for some reason, nothing could be worse than last year, and I wish you all the best in your undertakings.
I also have a feeling this year will be better. All the best too and thanx once again
updated properly.
here is to a much brighter section of the year!
Amen. Brighter for you too
I have never played best man but me thinks its fun..apparently my friends are still waiting for each other to be the first. i have a feeling this year will be better financially, ‘that one’ at stato wont screw up like bush did.
It lightens me up to read how optimistic everyone is on the financial part. All the best to you
On guys whose bday falls on 29th Feb, its tricky…. may be celebrating after 4 years is the best option. i think i should dedicate ‘Welcome Back’ by Mase now that you are finally back.
I was teasing her she just turned 5 last year. Thanx for the dedication. It feels good to be back
Seems like it has been quite the year for you so far! Great to see you back.
I feel good to be here again
Those are many weddings! This year it’s like people decided that this indeed is the year to quit the singles club! Usiworry, I have atleast 14 weddings to go for this year. . .that means shopping shopping shopping! Oh and yo not alone, am still playing the field as all my pals are getting married and popping em kids! The school girl card is still valid so am excused. Hehehe
Speaking of school. . . I see you want to get back to masomos? All the best and enjoy. . March aint far.
Am counting the days too. Feels like am counting to maliza not even to start
As for those two who had a ’silent’ wedding and marriage. . .let it be known to them that they are my heros! What! To pull a stunt like that. . .awesome!
I love it too! If I ever get to wed, may be I’ll pull a quiet one like that but with notifications to those who matter
Good to see that you are back. You have a lot of work this year ahead. Best of luck being the best man.
Am Sure am going to need the luck. Thanx
About the birthday, never mind that you deleted the number. Statistics tell that one always remembers such numbers off head, just send an sms. (Not from an expert’s point of view).
I’ll do. Might not be expert but I think its polite
Hope that this year you will post more.
Am waiting to get back a laptop & a that nice connection that is Safcoms broadband
