Welcome To My Office

Hey all,
What's happening now. This thread must not die o.
By the way, nothing much is happening in Jarus' office. We are just trying to settle down after the recent top management Tsunami. New people, new styles. Series of meetings with new management team. Well, I was able to finalize my June accounts on Monday, and felt relieved.

Debosky! guy how far now? you say make i buzz u on your IM  but the name no de where you say e go de! I no mind wetin we say we wan gist o.

anyways,what's up all of you? the office gist seems to be slowing down here o. What's happening?

Hey all,
After a rain-filled weekend, spent quietly at home with my inverter and 3 generators (my yard now looks and sounds like a factory!), we are back again for a tedious work-week.
This weekend was kinda expensive also. First, my wife's phone fell down in the yard Friday night, and all my neighbours took turns driving over it. Long and short is I need to get a new phone for her this morning. Secondly, after hours spent online hunting for cheap tickets, I finally went back home to good ol' Arik - only for me to now book the tickets all wrong. Now I am gearing up to shell out penalty fees (yes, it was one of those cheapest, non-flexible tickets) this morning. Na wa. All the good bargains eroded!
Anyways, I'm looking forward to a solid 4 weeks (Yay!) out of this gridlocked factory called Lagos, during which I shall detox and go 100% green.
As always, the trouble remains having to come back. God dey protect im pickins sha.

@tollu, congrats on your customer care gig, but make sure it's a stepping stone to better things o!

@diggler, lol. At this rate bankers would soon be sponsoring bank robberies, targeting other banks.

Rest of y'all, easy o.

i finally made 392% of my target in June

finally, am a super star and not a laggard

Baba Thank you ooo

@Otuwe Big ups to you on your achievement!!!
Better squeeze a promotion out of dem suckas whilst strengthening your hold on your customers.


The Financial Intermediation bizness is still as crapy as hell.

Some lady stopped short of calling me a Leech in a pin stripe the other day (tho must admit she was a real bitch & i tounge bitch slapped her a lil too)

peace

MY O MY!!! This is terrible, les terrible. Where's everybody???

Otuwe
Congrats on you achievement, that's really major.

AjanlekokoThanks jare. It's definitely a stepping stone. Have u left the country?

Aight then, have a great trip. 

Pls share in detail

Yes we know by speculation but dont you think it will be better to hear from an insider???

@ajanlekoko
we'll you're off the mark there. . . the main reason is in the picture i posted below. . .(had to read through my archives to get that ) it represents funding of the power sector, notice the military regime?

on the other hand PHCN is overstaffed(dont say i said so ) and underskilled so even when the needed stations are built it wont be smooth sailing!

P.S. in power u shld start building a power station at least 5 years before you need it! now y'all can just do the maths.(i'll help you, u're 20years behind)

now on to my office,
the internet has vanished(i know its grammatically incorrect ) the comms guy just says the hub is bad(i can bet 6months allawee i know more abt networking than him).he has an OND in mech production, how he got here i dont know, i like him tho. The HR manager's secretary has spent all of today playing text twist(i installed it on her computer ) the engineers are 'laying' at 'oputa panel'*. In simple english little or no work is being done.(today is my CD<community development> day i dont even need to be at the office)

*oputa panel is the proverbial waterhole where u meet to discuss the days activities only in this case most of the day is actually spent there (different generating stations hv different names for it though, i hear the one in jebba is called 'house of assembly')

oh and i hear they aren't going to pay us our PHCN allawee until the 15th of next month(it was due on the 24th)

Hey Diggler, 'sup? Hope u r floating well with this financial meltdown thingy?
I knw the financial institutions wld be crazy these days. Keep your head up ok?


Netotse, u r welcome on board. You haven't said anything new with regards to the power sector being understaffed. We all know huge amounts of money go in an abyssmal amounts of power comes out. That only points in one direction: The usual direction, CORRUPTION.
Hope u youngies would be allowed to pum in fresh blood into that place someday.

It is well jare. IT is still at the very top of things and is bound to stay right up for a long long time. All the best with your new business and please try not to compromise good quality. It might be tough blending quality and good income but if u persist and have all the right ingredients in place, u r on the narrow path too success. All the best bro

TKB dearie
It's been a while, hw's work and all? I'll give u a call to find out sha.

@TOPIC
Work has been fine, gradually getting the hang of things and it's not as horrible as I thought it would be.
Be back with better gist later.

*if there are any grammatical errors in this post, pls bear wiv me, I typed in a rush. Peace y'all*

Hi all
whats happening

works been fine and all and moreso i got attacked last weekend by some hoodlums masquerading as armed robbers on the highway.
Got beaten like mad still gat some mold on ma cheek tho.

yeah right, work has been good even in my deformed state.
been runinn up and down tryin to firm up ma presentation over the weekend in mombassa/nairobi. (sounds like stress cos i cant even sit properly )

aside that, my normal routine has been as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary except that omo boi had a call from one of the banks that spend millions on advert doing M.Jordan kinda thing. It all depends on the pay o. They are looking at upscaling their IB unit and they are poaching and tapping awon young boiz around. Im comfy here and i dont wanna go to where they'll tell me to add deposits to ma performance evaluation
if the pay is astronomical just like what Madrid paid UTD to land Ronaldo, ill jump ship like a mad sailor

this week is a holy one for  me (you know, joy to the wise ) our yearly convention has started and im in prayers
Friday will be a day ill hit the camp ground God willing with my long list of requests ( one of the them is to win a lottery of 50million and resign )

eyin people, keep it rolling
.   .   .   .sky is the limit

Tollu luv

Ajanlekoko my Oga

hehehehe
see this Jarus guy
u wan make i die young

UK thieves are not as merciless as our highway robbers.
i never born pikin

who said anything about understaffing?. . .its maadddd overstaffed o. . .my overall oga has 3 secretaries when he needs only 1, of which he just asked for 2 new secretarial corps members(i h8 trying to be grammatically correct) when the 2 on ground are playing half the time(he's just looking for skirts to get into since the two here dulled him. . .once more, dont say i said so!), the technical staff nko? they are plenty but the ones with the right degrees and/or training aren't.

office today
woke up to no light (here its an abomination ) somehow it got restored b4 i got to the switchyard sha, as usual no one's doing anything, (ok, i take that back we're all complaining about our not having received salary for last month) spent most of today teaching one of the managers about networking tho. . .heads up y'all another strike might be in the works!

@Ajanlekoko
the guy's engineering is very sound, its his moral degree thats from oluwole. we have a number of very good ppl here(enough to do the work that needs to be done) but the dead weight outnumbers them and that slows business down considerably.


if the generation was there you guys would get it. . .for real o, i know ppl the go on leave during the load shedding periods just so they dont have to be the one to tell the discos<distribution coys-the ppl that control your light> to drop load(there's always this sadness in the control room during the serious load shedding periods especially at night).

on the lighter side sha its the only period when we can touch the feeder belong to the senators in apo quarters(do we make them suffer. . .lol) i rem during my I.T. one of the first things i used to ask when i resumed in the morning was "are those nuisances still in"(i.e. do they have light) if they were it was lights off till some1 from headquarters called to ask how far.

thing about operators(the ppl that decide who actually gets light) is that they are usu stressed at these periods(we once got a call from someone that said she was 'hajia' and she worked with yar adua<---ppl aren't even s'posed to have our operational numbers sef) or once we got a call from war college that "we should know its a sensitive institution"(there was a match on that night) we soooo didnt give them light(that night was especially bad the whole abuja was practically in darkness) during normal times(i speak wrt the neps) dem no born us well to try that(soldiers will just come and arrange you!)

simple and short there's a heirachy when it comes to who gets the meagre offerings that come from the generation stations(yeah yeah i know thats not the way its supposed to be). Large hospitals, important govt agencies, military formations and lastly operators(see def. above) etc usu get priority, i'll try and expantiate on this later sha(i can only talk from a transmission point of view, i need to get more info)


P.S. its not everyone in PHCN u can bribe to get light. when you're talking about ppl that collect bribes to give you light or not to disconnect your light thats distribution. transmission ppl have no idea/business with whats happening on your streets(we work on a far far larger scale) and generation ppl have no business with wots happening anywhere outside their power station.
