It was a day like every other and i was going through the usual motions of working or pretending to work (that's a secret), then Eewee, our practice administrator walked past and started giving out examination sheets(or so it seemed) to everyone. As she was yet to get to my workstation, i began to strain my neck to get a glimpse of the content of this bulky affidavit like document she was distributing to everyone. I didn't have to wait too long, she eventually got to my workstation and handed me my copy of the paper... gosh, It was worse than an exam sheet exam, they call it a self appraisal form, i call it a hangman's noose.
These pips (my employers) actually expect me to use my own very hands to strangle myself. I'm meant to implicate me so they can give me a bonus! There's going to be an assessment where little me will be on one side facing four unsmiling partners on the other side where they graciously let me know their opinion of moi and i do not get to tell them my opinion of them (talking about unfair and unbalanced negotiations) . Anyway, if i come out smelling nice at the assessment, i get a humongous bonus and if i stink... well i guess you can figure it out. Being me sha, i'm sure i'll come out smelling like roses (i so wish!!)... I'll keep you posted though when i pass that hurdle.
I've tried doing a mental flashback of my stay so far with S&A (that's what my firm is called) and me thinks i haven't done too badly... i constantly update the monster called Time matters, time matters is this irritating and annoying terrorist that i have to feed everyday...my work schedule, tasks completed, e-mails and letters sent, billing periods, lunch time, toilet time, sleeping time...blah blah...), last week particularly was a stressfull one, dutifully closing earliest at 8pm (my employment letter says 5pm), being respectful of my senior colleagues (seniority at the bar is so unecessarily overhyped), killing and stretching myself to meet timelines and deadlines... haba! what more can S&A want of simple me? Abeg! Evaluation should please pass quickly... I'm tired of having variants of nightmares, i'm beginning to feel like i'm in an episode of Early Edition...
On to brighter issues, last week also got me knowing and liking my new friend some more...definitely a cool dude, focused, good conversationalist,... (am trying to use new adjectives outside of the one i used last week).
I also attended a wedding and the conclusion i arrived at... Yorubas rock! they do know how to throw a good party!!
I also bought a new bag over the weekend...it's simply gorgeous.
Bighead...you really are throwing a challenge at me, i'll try to live up to it and not fail...watch out...lol.
Best of all, my stay in this city is gradually coming to an end (howbeit for a short while), i get to return to good ol' Lagos where things happen and people rock!!
Well, i gast to run now, i don't want to be caught blogging especially as assessment is at hand... wish me luck!!
