I just couldn't get enough sleep in the morning, the
usual suspect being I slept really late. I was up till after 3:00am. I can’t
blame my system for wanting a little extra snooze time. I just lay there on the
bed after I woke. I grabbed my open heavens to read but just couldn't
concentrate. Ibe was already watching a series titled Suit and the television
was a tad too high for me concentrate. I didn't bother to go that route of telling him to lower the volume. Just let the sleeping dogs lie.
Amara served us breakfast, white rice with stew. She
hurried prepared and left. I finished my meal and put away my plate. Ibe
finished and kept the plate aside just like he would drop pure water sachet
anywhere. I got myself ready for work and left. I got to the office played two
rounds of spider solitaire to put me in the mood. Next I worked on the
presentation my boss left me with. I didn't do much browsing except for where I
need data for the presentation and there are numerous sections that need
Nigeria tailored data.
At around 3:00pm, I stopped work and started reading my
workers-in-training manual. I have exam on Sunday this week, failure has never
been an option. On top of that, I’m hungry. I don't have any cash at hand, the
few kobos I have is held hostage by my bank. They call it savings bank account.
The saving it for me they say but am I not saving them the problem of looking
for cash to investment via loans or other investment instruments? And they make
tons of money from my cash.
I wanted to go Shoprite for a meal, I weeded out the
thought, later the thought infested my mind again. I set out to make the
thought a reality but it was a bit late, I don't want to waste my time going
only to view empty show case cuz it has happened to me before. It was on fine
evening like this. I just went back to the office and packed my stuff, let’s
call it a day fellas. I can always eat at Onye Mama's place, besides it saves
me a few kobos too.
Oh I almost forgot I don't have a dime besides my
transport fare, great!. I went to the nearest atm waited out the short queue
then lawfully robbed myself and headed home. I got to my bus stop and only one
path opened up to me, calling me. I have no choice in the matter. I just heed
the call and followed the path. Guess where the path led me to? You guessed
wrong. The path led me to Onye Mama's place. LOL! I ate and went back to see Doc. I
can see clearly now that hunger is gone.
I felt like I was watching a boring television soap.
There was nothing interesting to watch at channel Doc. I tried reading my
manual again but the blasting speakers won’t allow. I went home. Nobody was
home. Ibe came in shortly followed by Amara. He and dished some food before
Amara came in. It was like they came in together. Amara said she was so tired
that I can dish mine by myself, I said no problem. I watch a movie on my lappie
after that I ate and slept off.
