My eyes opened, it was morning. For an instant I suffered
amnesia about last night's ordeal. Then the floodgate to the reservoir that
holds the memory of torment crumbled down. My eye almost popped out of their
sockets as it popped wide open in full realization of what happened. The visual
vividness and clarity of every detail was scary. It was like I was reliving the
night. If not for God’s mercy and grace, I wouldn’t have seen today going by
what I went through last night. I read my Open Heavens and prayed with a deep
sense appreciation and gratitude.
My boss is coming back today but I don't know when. I
thought he will come back in the evening. My phone rang later in the morning,
speak of the devil. My boss said he's back in Lagos and he needs me to do
something. Yeah he always needs me to do something. I hurriedly showered went
to work. In the office I browsed a little and focused on the presentation. It
was tedious and annoying, you have no idea. Truth be told it wasn't all a waste
of time cuz I learnt something on PowerPoint. I own the office today.
No sign of Ugo, Ifeanyi isn't coming, he made that clear
yesterday. Ugo came back a few minutes after three. Now judge this situation.
The task was to pay N65000 into a phone dealer's account for a Samsung galaxy,
meanwhile he owes me N10000 part of my salary. He didn't pay me but he paid
another dude. I made it clear to him before he traveled that I need that money
badly. I hate it when people behave like that. It’s just God’s mercy and grace
that is keeping me. I went to GTBank and the crowd rivaled Lagos population.
GTBank has a network problem putting its service on agonizing delay. Deposit
wasn't a problem, thank God for that. I put the money in, went back to the
office.
I played three game of spider solitaire and went home. I
went straight to Onye Mama's place rejuvenate myself. Boy I ate it gluttonously,
maybe I broke Guinness record for shortest time spent eating garri and
egusi-oha soup lol. Thank God for the food for his mercy and grace upon my
life.I went to the house. I noticed two items I washed wasn't on the line. I
wonder what happened to them or who took them in for me. The clothes were taken
in after all. I asked Amara who did it, she said it’s like it was Ibe. That
sounded rather strange to me but still I said he did a nice job. It is not his
MO. I suspect she is just trying to put in a good word for him.
In all honestly, when his demons are asleep, Ibe can
display a good core. He thinks or cares
about others, he's willing to share whatever he has, he can try to motivate
you, etc. He is also a big fat jerk and the jerk part casts a very long foul
shadow. I changed and went to Doc's place to while away time. When my whiling
away time mission was accomplished I went home to bed.
