I was so tired that i dozed off in the office today. The stress of the weekend was overwhelming. Had to supervise the re-laying of cables and general cleaning of the flat. Started at 7am and didnt end until about 9pm. So bad i didnt even go for my pals wedding. Had artisans all over the house doing stuff.

Presently interviewing a potential driver and the guy is reeking of alcohol can u guys imagine. He blames it on frustation blah blah.Sounds very intelligent though, but can i trust this chap, men i dont know o. Another turnoff is that the guy talks too much. My partner kinds of likes him though. He actually finished from St Gregs Lagos. Well told him he has to register for the next JAMB, cos i think he is to intelligent to be a driver. I have promised that if he passes JAMB, then i undertake to pay 50% of his tuition fees.

My 80+ client called me today to have a rethink on his brief. Men this baba doesnt give up sha. Told him i would do so and get back to him by Wednesday. There is nothing to rethink. No is No.I never wan die.

Whats up for vals day people. Any suggestions?

@Lawyer,
I really feel ur pains. That thing can be so frustrating. So many times in the past i spent sleepless nights preparing arguments particularly for the Court of Appeal, only to get there the next day and the Court did not sit. Remember particularly an instance where upon arriving the office i was informed that our application for stay of execution had been fixed for hearing that morning at Abeokuta. Since i  have a set of Court attire in the office, i sped off to Abeokuta. Arrived there at about 8.15am, registrars didnt come into until 10.30am. At about 11.30am the registrar told me tha the court was not sitting for no apparent reason. Was i mad, sure as hell i was. But what could i do. Left Abeokuta and went home straight.

I consider such happenings as the hazards of law practice.

Cheers

Hey house.
Sounds like Monday ain't going so well

@jericho
Are you moving into a 12-bedroom flat? Thought you'd be done by now. Hope your pal understood your absence from his wedding sha.
You really want val suggestions? That's making me smile,dunno why

@Jarus
Hmm.  .  .perhaps you should tell your supervisor that you want to take on more responsibility at the office.  .  .magic words- work will come crashing all over you,this time with deadlines

@lawyer
Pele o. Ain't easy.  .  .just relax,after all you're very right. Working when you're not fully alert mentally will yield a less than perfect result.
Question - do you do search reports?

@Tkb
If they sack you just vex and become a partner in Jericho's firm. You'll manage the financial side.

@topic
Been accompanying my senior officers to meetings today.  .  .from one organization/company/firm to the other selling our products,offering our services,answering questions and sometimes getting very technical indeed. Truly there were a few times I got lost. I really need to do some reading and calculating.
I also did some talking of my own,and I was pretty convincing too Love this biz sometimes.  .  .the people I saw today ehn,I'm still amazed!!

@Cristalz
Every Monday, i feel like a junkie checking into detox or something like that. With withdrawal symptoms & all.


@topic
anyways today was kinda mixed.


*  Closed a very tidy TD deal, that turned out as a win win for all parties (moi, the customer & the bank in that order). Will collect check tomorrow(note to self: wear the power pinstripe)
*  made a couple of calls to some HiNetWorth's  that sounded real promising
*  Was harshly reminded of my below par performance as regards the various targets (kinda becoming impervious to the Jabs).
*  I'm sure i've got a lil beef brewing with the Capo of my departmental Mafia (like i give 2 f***s, anytime anywhere baby, i dey kampe)

Still wish i could love this aspect of the biz like Cristalz, tho i acknowledge its the best course for now.

@Cristals,

I claim the 12 bedroom mansion o. No mind me o na just ordianry 5 bedroom. Like u said if i am complaining now, wot will happen when i build the 12 bedroom u have prophesied for me. As for my guy i beleive so too, but right now i dont think the guy care cos he is on the moon. No xtrenous factors until he comes down from there.

As for the val suggestions, bring it on, i am waiting. So glad it falls on a saturday, cos the traffic it causes within Ikoyi, V.I and Lekki axis na die.

Happy people whts going on?

today is a good day (hehe). yesterday was not only hectic but happened to be a day ill like to forget in a hurry.
after failing to meet ma deadlines yesterday, i had a serious battle with my boss who said all his head could carry and we were both at each others throat yesterday. I shut down my lappy, went to the visitors lounge and plugged ma earfones to ma head. I was there for 1.30 hrs and later got back when the Oga patapata sent a text to ma fone asking where i was.

met with him and he also tongue lashed me for acting like that. That was when i remembered i didnt pray when i woke up in the mornin.
the day ended on a bad note cos the whole doc meant for our foreign partners got damaged. The stuff wasnt responding for a long time and i had to go to the task menu to close the application thinking all i did will be recovered.
My eyes opened wide and i cursed like madd that all ma colleagues started begging me to stop when all ma ive done since morning had disappeared!
I told ma boss and he told me to reproduce it in 30 mins!!
something ive been working on since 8am

The whole of ma office knew something happened that even the private equity chaps came asking me what happened. I think i need to reconsider the offer they gave me in our PE unit. Time to cross carpet. i cant work with these beasts of no nation again. damn!

i fasted yesterday and i didnt brake ma fast till 11pm when i got home. I had to reproduce the stuff before i left the office and the oga practically packed his Mac and sat beside me chatting.

Today o, they came in and asked me if i had/have personal problems and i said NO. They later told me they rely on me a lot and i should stop giving them nightmares. Never knew my middle name is now 'the nightmare'. The guy asked me again how they could help me cos they consider me as one of the brightest and i said, a move to our PE unit wouldnt be a bad idea and b4 i could say Jack Robinson, the guy said I DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL!!

we settled it and they promised me some DP ( ancient o) at our usual slaughter ground ( the penthouse)

its all gud people and my work today is going on smoothly.

Cristalz
u want me to partner a lawyer? ah
if i leave here, na to go village go start mechanized farming. Never gonna say yes sir to no bones again after this place
imme take ma time well b4 i jump or else

where is Tollu?

Peeps, men its been kinda hectic had to come on here to chill the nerves, spent over 7hours yesterday in two different meetings and by the time I came out , urs truly was like a phantom, hungry, tired and fustrated as mgt practically put a knife to my neck. Its not there fault, its because I don't have liver like Jericho, to go run my own show. Anyhow the gist is that I had worked with my team for about two weeks to produce a report I felt my fetch a big part on the back only for for some over sabi fellow to claim the report area of focus was too futuristic (as if I'm a star trek crew) to cut long story short they want to me re-submit that same report 6 months down the line and reproduce another one that can be operational at a go!
God help me and this telephone business.
So folks whats happening outthere?
@TkB417
How far? I can feel you man some of these ogas need to be harassed back at times (afterall even one of my one subordinate sef don harass before) they tend to respect one thereafter (but small small do am o)
@Cristalz

Hope cabal is growing?
@[b][/b]Jericho
I guess by now u are fully settled in.
Full house my hands in the air
Ahah one last thing urs truly need to get data on Nigeria disposable income (state by state) any idea anyone of where to look.
My reseach team is taking all the time in the world.

hey guys been so busy and tired that i have not had time to come in here to share work hassle.

I have had to do some sort of meetings for some personal issues that might affect work so i have been in a whirlwind of meetings since last week with HR,my manager,occupational health etc.Add to this to my workload and men its been tiring.Its not easy being a working woman(though i would never trade it for the role of full time housewife).I am really struggling but it is all Good the Lord is my strength.Have to go now,have letters and emails to respond to.

PS: this situation is not a life threatening one so my peeps do not worry about me.Its one of those things that are the joys of life. and explains why i have been feeling so under the weather for the past few weeks.

Damiso is it what I think?? Then congratulations!!

@ Tkb

Ol boy take am easy oh. I think you should take Friday off and go on a trip or something. The stress is getting to everyone too much in that office of yours. (you sef suppose pray before you comot house na )

@ Crizzle

keep hobnobbing with the big peeps, contacts would come in handy eventually.

@ Jericho & Lawyer

Keep doing your thing guys - dealing with human beings is always more difficult than anything else.

Let me give a recap on y'day first of all.

It rained, rained and RAINED. A month's worth of rain in one day. Roads were flooded, drains were getting clogged, in fact it was like time to start building Noah's ark v2.0

Was stuck in meetings all day - back to back to back. Meant I spent little time at my pc so I could avoid my numbers crunching for another day. Will have to face it today though.

Now back to the rain, external regulator decided y'day was the day he wanted to come in. What is it with these people and rain sef? The last time his counterpart came in November it was pouring like mad too and I had to go out in the rain to inspect the bloody gas turbines as well because of some issues we've been having with emissions.

Was soaked nearly to the skin, my expensive (£6 ) shirt got stained by the orange overalls I had to wear, so I just dey vex.

To end the day on a funny note, I got back into the office and I decided not to change out of my overalls and just keep them on for another hour before leaving work. Now I had to take a piss so I went into the men's room, where I discovered that this overall is not designed for. . . em. . . easy access to Debo junior to pass fluids.

I sha struggled with the darn thing and managed to complete the task without pissing myself and the whole floor.

As for today, I woke up, couldn't find anything - no car keys, no wallet, no freaking ID!! Abi winch don enter this house? Eventually came to work using my spare car keys, didn't find it.

Had an 8am emergency response meeting and I was late (AGAIN). At least I tried this month, last month I completely forgot about the meeting and strolled into work at 9am so I've improved.

Got a big box today - belated 'hamper' for good performance last year. I thought only people with 6months and above would get one, so I had already removed my mind from the mata, before the chick in charge said she put in our (me and a couple of other recent starts names). Those bottles go hear am next week cos I have to stay sober till Monday morning.

Hello everybody, I hate leaving this place for too long, there's always so much stuff missed and lotsa stuff to type

Welcome on board Jarus
Hmmmm, Oil and gas Accountant? I envy you.

Jericho
Ahn ahn, what’s up with these artisans destroying your stuff? Whose head are you gonna have for that abi na val’s gift for the careless installer?

Also, it’s good that you are trying to help the driver but watch out for people that talk and drink too much. Help in the way that you can but don’t be too “familiar”

Cristalz

Yeah, I sure was glad for the weekend and it was a long one indeed. Left work early on Friday and was out of the office throughout Monday. A career change is in the horizon

Learning new stuff is one of the reasons a girl accepts crazy hours and maybe a lousy package cos when push comes to shove you have a whole body of experience and if it’s a client based job, a HUGE network.

TKB aka THE NIGHTMARE

So how did your work from hotel go?
Hope ur belle is holding up as per the fast?

Man, your Monday was really rough. Thank God you have that all sorted out.
Your day wasn't messed up because u didn't pray, shit just happens sometimes.


Ebariba
You are welcome on board. Enjoy the laid back job o and if it’s too laid back, find something to do on the side: a business of your own or professional exams.
You and Jarus had better enjoy the salary and free period while it lasts but make sure there’s some level of self development on the side even if it’s just building your network

Lawyer
Tough luck as per the messed up plan. That’s Government in Nigeria for you.
A cousin of mine was taken to the hospital on Sunday morning for excruciating pain. It was diagnosed as Appendicitis. Oya, let us operate on him and they said the operation couldn’t be carried out because the Medical Director was not around to review the case.
Imagine that! And na big Hospital o

Damiso
Awwwww how very cute. take good care of yourself ok? No stress for one of the people currently obeying the word of the lord

Debosky
LOL at the overalls ah erm, lack of slot. te he he

How can you not find all your stuff? Definitely, winch don enter be that. Please get an exorcist o
Seriously though, that stuff is usually not funny o. Been looking for my house keys, phone charger since last sunday. Charging phone with USB cord is not so interesting.


Aha @ Topic
These people want to kill me. At this rate I'm going, so many little details will be misplaced and someone will be wanting another someone's head. Too much coffee an too little food has made me irritable.
Posting on this thread is the only relaxing thing I've done all day.

AAAArrrrrrGGGGGhhhhhh

Debosky
ure funny o, whats happening in ur crib? u need some help o
u want me to take a trip on Friday? if i tell my peeps such a thing, they'll think im never gonna come back.
Besides, how many times will i be going for trips in a year?
The next episode is slated for September, it cant be earlier

Tollu

@diggler
Hey. . .hope you got the cheque. I'm assuming you wore the power pinstripe

@Jericho
You really want suggestions? Okay. . .the next sms beep on your phone will be it 5-bedroom flat? Getting married next month or something? That one na family house!! Lol. Hope work's going okay.

@Tkb
Poor dude. Your monday was really rough. Happens once in a while though.

@damiso
Yay!!! Lol Congrats o.

@tollu
Go easy dearie. You're changing careers? That's ambitiously cool,lol. Hope it's something that really gives you joy you're going into.

@debo
You're just a case,lol. Hope you didn't dash some nice girl the car keys for val? And the wallet( paper contents only) too?
How were the turbines you inspected? Gas emissions sounds kinda scary. Congrats on your box.

@topic
Work today was busy. . .my senior colleague went on leave and handed over to me and another dude. We had a lot to take care of, his customers' issues plus ours. Kept me on the move for the most part of today - in-house move o. Sit at your table for 10 mins attending to stuff on the system, then off to Credit office, then downstairs to Ops, then sideways to Cash, upstairs again to the office, upstairs still to some other person's office, all depending on what things there are to be attended to at that point in time. Thank God for intercom, but there are times when you have to get up and go attend to some issues yourself.
And while doing all this walking around and sitting, another customer is calling your phone asking you to come pick up a cheque or bring a form for him/her to do a foreign transaction.
My colleagues always tell me to calm down and not let customers pressurize me else I'll just get confused,lol Learning to relax and multi task at an organized pace. . .
More details later. Lemme concentrate on Glo/Caf awards now.

@ Cristalz
Tore shit up with that suit. Even them honeys was itchin for a piece (forthcoming weekend is complicated as it is but i still got the numbers tho)

@tkb
Glad u had a great day, Diggin ur Posts man
Ur side of the Financial Services industry is it, crunchy meltdown or not.

@Tollu

Lay off the Caffeine, Trust me on that.

@Topic
I had a smooth day. got the check also taught a senior colleague a lesson or two about marketing. ( u dont have to sound so pathetic out there plus It aint about life & death).
Also expecting some major inflows before the week runs out.

Was given the run around by some dude i've been tryin to get an appointment with (He shuld just chill cos i've got some aces up my sleeve).

Damned the bloody Torpedoes and left the Office early.

Ps@Cristalz
Watching live transmissions of Homemade Award shows is always such a drag cos the glitches r one too many.
Upon all his money & purported stickling for excellence, i'd expect Adenuga to hire say dem chaps that direct the Grammys or something.

Tkb,

God catch you. With all the atrocities you committed over the weekend ,

I keep asking why I didnt think of Grad school earlier in life when my brain was still young.

All these Fama-French fit craze person.

BTW what were these Oyinbo scientist thinking of when they were propounding the theories and Models.

Didnt they know someone would be required to study it later in life?

Thank you guys. _{funny how lil things like headaches could be signs of one kain big life changing development}

I am really struggling  this morning ,my boss is all friendly and supportive but its more like my expectations for myself,i hate coming across as incompetent and i sha cant be telling all my clients 'story story'.I just dey misquote figures and it seems temporary amnesia will part of my own symptoms(havent seen that on most of the millions of websites i have been reading).You want to try the zillions of yellow stick it notes on my desk, i cannot enter gbese with internal audit.It is well.

Have a meeting now with some people from a company that we just acquired on operations structure,i sha hope i dont doze off when all the figures and projections start flying cos thats all i want to do now .BRB.

Hello guys

I hope everyone is kicking?

Topic

Nothing major infront of me of me today.
Need to chase up a few professional bodies, CPD course providers and get ready for a progress meeting with a major client later in the day
Need to start working on getting membership with professional bodies as well as racking up a few CPD courses, all of which are going to improve my career advancement. It is imperative, as competition is getting hotter, and u want to stay recognised and relevant as well as get to the top!
The office is full as usual today, i am trying to get busy, a few things to do here and there but i can see myself running out of work to do by friday
On the other side of things, looking forward to a pay review next month as well as my work related expenses getting credited to my bank account!

It has been quiet with the other job, due to the adverse weather conditions, so a bit of pressure off my head!

I feel like i want more challenges, i want wings, i want to fly, i want it all!!!!!!!!!

Thank you guys. funny how lil things like headaches could be signs of one kain big life changing development

Brash
where do u wanna fly to?


Diggler
the whole firm is in shits cos we were exposed to some deals that have gone sour. The fall of the cap markets both locally and abroad really made stuffs hard. Some top guys have gone, some guys were asked to leave, some expected millions of naira in bonuses just like last year and they were shocked when things didnt happen.

but, as for me, u know a portion in the bible that says, the children of the lion may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord shall lack no good thing. thats my story!!
I work in a unit that trippled thier turnover, (financial advisory, investment fiduciary) I also double as an Investment analyst for our PE unit
those units are raking in money so since profits are shared withing units, someone like me will still be smiling to the bank.
In fact, 'the pepper is resting' if u know what that means. But the koko is i work with beasts.
Those guys want money like maaad and they'll do anything to get it. Including using the staff like slaves.
As for me, its a case of either i choose money and live with the stress and abuses or i waka go another place and not earn this much
advise me bros!! as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord ( and money). ( the bold is the most important o b4 people miscontrue my post for another thing)

how can i play lotto or lottery or sumfn?

Make i no even talk about my day today

I know say na yab una go yab me finish but i go try

I had a meeting with a client and as soon as he came, he said he cannot talk until we go for dinner, we went to one joint and thats how drinking galore started about 2pm till 5 pm discussing everything imaginable and i think i got the better of him by winning the deal after all but at the expense of 4 bottles of harp.

Am back in the office and i dont even know what i am even typing and so stumped and high right now, all b'cos of kudi, lol

I hope i get home safely today because i can feel my eyes going into lala mode now!

All this people una well done ,

hope ya'll enjoying work,

Damiso
rest when you can . .congratulations

everyone else hope you guys are good.

as for me i keep fake typing i am tired jo, i keep taking it home , realised i actually get work done at night. vampire
I have gone very far and the info is flying in from all .directions. its very good.

Soon i'll be able to submit and i'll be moving on to phase two. . cant wait

@tkb
Come to think of it, u cant serve the lord effectively on an empty stomach.
Besides, He provides.

@Topic
* Serviced some of my biggest clients today.
* Took care of some personal biz whilst out on calls (the calls were destined for d drains anyway)
* Finished up by prepping for a mega call tomorrow. Tryin 2 win back the biggest customer my branch had pre-consolidation (was in High school when the acc was opened, then annual turnover was like N1.2bn). Presently these dudes r like 5 times bigger and growing. Just wondering how they let these dudes go so easy.
Plus the current acc manager who has no clue whats up wiv the coy is now forming beef. well i've got a couple of aces (the LORD firstly) plus a new power pinstripe (that was part of the personal biz i took care of)

Now going into a session of prayer.

@Lawyer,

You are my kind of guy jare. Just keep on.

@ Cristalz,

Still waiting for your sms. As per the house na personal crib o. Men having a personal roof over your head in Lagos is not beans.

@Topic,

Told u guys that i was expecting a cheque this week abi, the cheque finally landed yesterday. Went shopping for office and personal accessories today at the palms. Also went car shopping with my partner. He settled for an EOD. havent made up my mind yet but definitely mine is a truck so i can take the beach road and avoid all this traffic. Meanwhile had one glass to many of wine to wash the cheque so right now i am feeling like lawyer, the only difference is that i am at home already.

I've got a lot to do today:
-I need to get some schedules ready for the Auditors, and that will involve a lot downloading reports and finetuning on Excel
-I also need to get some documents for the Auditors. I've been posting them for so long and they have threatened to request for it by email, copying ED
-My month-end closing for January is still hanging 12 days into into February. I have not registered all the assets acquired in January and run depreciation on the company's fixed Assets for January. My manager must not hear this
-The deadline for the submission of bids for the scrapped company cars we put up for disposal ended yesterday. I have to call a meeting of Asset Disposal Committee for analysis of the bid as teh committee Secretary.

All these today. . . . . .Let me start

Wow, I will really miss Facebook and Nairaland today

LOL Cristalz

When I say career change, it’s not like a big bang thing, more like a time to grow thing

Announcing that you are leaving for home at 7 something is an indication of too much work o i.e you leave work like 10/11pm usually.

Interested in lottery? Heard NSL or so is located on Anifowoshe (V.I’s) When u make connection, holla. Wouldn’t mind some ‘don’t break a sweat money either’

Diggler
Once I’m at work, can’t really help the coffee.
Hope the prayer session was powerful enough to help win back the lost customer? We’ll be awaiting updates on that. All the very best.

MrCrackles
Seems the snow has eased off since you are back to work. Thank goodness for that.

You need wings ehh? The only wings in wing heaven at the moment are for fairies, wanna be a fairy? (double entedre intended)

Don’t worry, just work at it. We MUST, I mean MUST get to the very top

Where’s it located?

Send some e-wine into this room, lets celebrate the new deal with you.

Jarus

And you said you didn’t have work to do? That sounds like a hand and 'headfull'
Take the Auditors for example, threat for escalation got into the air and you sorted them out one time.
Get started o

@tollu,

Bachelor ke, you want my madam to drive me out of the house abi. I be baba o. Infact for the past week now i have been doing daddy daycare runs. My bobo's nanny had to go to her village so i bath, dress, feed, drop and pick my bobo in school everyday. It has not been easy i tell u. The chappie is a handful. He asks me 20 questions at the same time. Props to all the working mons out there, una dey try.

Thank you guys,i will endeavour to take it. easy.I wonder if any of the girls on here have gone through this phase,as would need tips on how to cope with work and the tiredness that accompanies it as you know where we come from still have to keep a secret from all my older friends and family till much later.Only my mom,hubby and boss know for now amd my mom is superwoman so talking to her makes me feel lazy,heard stories that she drove herself to the hospital the day she had me.She is of the opinon that we children of nowadays are lazy.

Today seems to be kinda quiet so il just use the opportunity to work on January audit reports that have been lying on my desk for the past two weeks,before you know february will end and it will just start piling up.

Wonder what to get my husband for valentine's day,guys pls any ideas?Cant seem to think of anything to get him as all ideas went with christmas and besides this time its a tighter budget.I sha hope he does not get me chocolates ,the sight of them really makes want to puke.Our wedding anniversary is this month as well so il pity the poor guy and appreciate whatever he gets me as we are going away that weekend. I Know, I know women and our love for events abi?

Pardon me Jericho
You only mentioned a partner and my brain just deduced wrongly.

Us women are super now, u just dey hear? Make sure you get enough things to wow ur 'partner' this saturday.

Damiso
I haven't even come close to that phase, so can't honestly give tips.
LOL at ur mum's thought. We are indeed lazy these days, everyone's opting for CS and accepting epidurals.

@diggler
Dude, shopping for pinstripes on bank's time? Baad boy I can't shop for anything at all,especially suits when out on calls 'cos I take forever to pick just one. . .besides trying them on takes time. Guess it's easier for guys,lol.
That your runaway customer,e be like say una nor manage the relationship well that's why he had a chance to fly. Just know that if you do win him back you're gon' have to try to beat the service whichever bank he went to is giving him. So study his business now,what he is into, know all his business needs and figure out the best ways your bank can satisfy those needs at reduced stress and reduced cost to him. Once you can sell that to him,the job is 60% done. Remaining 40% is making darn sure he gets everything you promised else he'll simply walk again, and then there'll be no coming back.
The acct manager should be flogged sef Good luck.
Reviving dormant accounts is one thing I don't really enjoy doing. . .sometimes I have to use my own credit to call people. It's all good sha.

@Jarus
You have all that to do and you're thinking of NL and FB. See addiction

@Jericho
Sms is on it's way Working moms are close to super-human o. That's why it just makes me laugh when they say women are the weaker sex. Well done anyway, super dad,lol. And congrats on getting the cheque.

@damiso
Change is change jo ;Don't worry, we'll get there soon. Take things easy o. I'm also not qualified in the tips department. . .read books and visit websites.Guess you've been doing that already. I could ask my mum. I think she was a working lady at the time dad was shooting and scoring

Wahala - a good customer of mine fixed some money 3 months ago and his instructions were to rollover. . .the thing matured yesterday and yours truly accidentally forgot to roll it over Dunno how I forgot, I usually set reminders for all my TDs. Cash was sitting happily in the man's account when I checked this morning and I was like, oh shit!! Have to go see him in an hour and explain myself and ask if I should fix again or leave it or whatever he wants. Not looking forward to it He's usually nice person so he shouldn't be too mad. . .just hope he'll be in a good mood today.

My morning was spent taking calls. . .of which my BM just said I should move my butt to NNPC towers asap. Gotta go. Gists later.

Quick one:
See what NL and FB have done to me ooo. . . . The better part of Monday to Wednesday spent on NL and FB. It was this morning I realized I had many pending deliverables. One of the Finance Managers scolded me this morning that I had been holding the entire Finance to ransom by not releasing depreciation figures for January and they had not been able to finalize Management reports. I quickly jumped into action and, thankfully, few assets were acquired in the period, so I was able to register them into the system within one hour and run depreciation, and release the figures to them.

Many other things have come up. The ED has asked me to get some information for him which requires digging into records kept before I even joined the system.
I've not seen the Auditors today. . . .as I was typing this, one Legal officer just came around asking that I supply her with info on all company assets for insurance purpose(I've told her she'll ahve it in teh next one hour)
Oh, just remembered now that our Retail Branch Manager for Head Office has asked me to supply her with information on the values of all our stations nationwide.


Kai, make I run comot for Nairaland again. . . .flenty, flenty deliverables!!!

@Tollu

Besides i went out on my personal Mob (downside of being 1.)the most junior(rank, age), 2.)In a unit dominated by outta shape married women & i,m damn sure they use d cars for school run.



@Topic
the meeting went as i expected (more of a meet, greet & re-establish contact thingy).Tho the dude wuz forming what we Igbos call 'Obi akpo' (Heart of rock - direct translation).
However, i wrote the book on how to win back ex- girlfriends so i no dey fear.
Also feelers indicate Head office is interested in the account so looks like we'll get a near blank check to offer these blokes.

Tagged along with the my BM & Area manager for some recovery calls. (Pinstripe representing).

Left for home quite early but Occupational hazard made sure i had relationship calls to make on d way home.

ps. My very first Customer had an accident. I felt real bad for the dude. Praying for his speedy recovery
