@Akanlekoko
What's your guys offer on mobile money, i've been seeing the yellow boyz advert
Our own pact with the Indian telco collapsed midway, so we are going solo now
First quarter next year is gonna be Exciting!

We have something in the pipeline, but right now you know CBN restricts Telcos from pitching their own direct offering.
We've supported all the schemes with bearer access for now, but next year we are definitely going to put our cards on the table.

^^^
Yeah, That's why i'm surprised @the Yellow boyz show.
Still can't figure out the money house that's backing them
Though i know most companies scaled through the last CBN licensing round

I envy you guys.
No xmas or new year holiday for me this year.

The whole company is looking up to us in the project office to make sure the SAP project goes live successfully.

Am hoping that the success of this project will be the beginning of greater things to come in my career.

Lest I forget, just got my PMP this October.

@Antimatter
Na January bro. I was hardly in town. It ain't easy being a corporate slave 

@office
I got my fingers full recently, dabbling into HR job
Got a project to deliver, and needed some fresh pairs of hands on a term basis
HR promised to deliver but bureaucracy threw in some delays that i wasn't ready for
I said ok, get me the damn candidates let me grill them myself
Phew! I never knew interviewing is a tedious job,
It was terribly tough getting people to express themselves!

Now wait for it,
After painstakingly sifting through the haystack and picking some candidates
Called them to resume, one of the very best said she is no more interested! 
I learned by force that being the employer doesn't mean you always get what you want!

Now, i am officially on leave till January! Let me go soak up the harmattan, up some chilly hill

the whole thing is a circus!. . .

this xmas was interesting

hamper rain in my dept 

al those closing at 10 finally yielding some sort of dividend - even if its not a favorable appraisal 

see bad belle from other depts  (i see u finance - [size=5pt]just kidding - abeg no hold next year budget o[/size] )

our finanace guys created a police checkpoint as you have to get to us through them

Xmas comes again . . . all my hampers were seized by Compliance, none returned yet

Today's my last working day, till noon. Took the 3 days from next week off, and will be out of town on business, starting January 1. I'm off to that part of the world where they don't send xmas . . .

^^
AJ,
You are one of the people living the life. Next week free. If wishes were horses.
I only have Monday 26th free. We are resuming on Tuesday because of our project.

Got a hamper this week. As long as it is below 50£ no problem.

Who will calculate the value ?

Wishing you guys Happy Xmas and New Year in advance.

@cecegorz and AJ

you guys might find this interesting, it's about mobile money. . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS.

I'm guessing that in line with the inflationary pressures on the economy my targets for the new FY will increase 200%

GOD DEY, no shaking.
Besides I really don't have any expletive to give this season, so they should bring it on.

I see lots of silver linings in this fuel subsidy fiasco especially for the entrepreneurs. However it will be a female dog!

Peace y'all

Happy New Year peeps :-) as ugly as the 9ja situation is i intend to keep my spirits up , as my MD has just informed our HR dept of company subsidy plans for Staff , GOD help us all.

LOL.
So long as it doesn't involve job or salary cuts.
It's good the government made their play right now. That way, we can battle them before it gets stuck in. In fact, we can spend the whole of January battling them.
If they had done this in April, it will affect the balance sheet of most companies.

@ Topic,
On work trip outside Naija, but should be back next week to join my striking brothers and sisters.
Jona go learn something this January

Abeg does anybody here know why ICAN has refused to release the Nov diet results

The weather gets uglier in Britain, attended a colleague's disciplinary hearing in the morning, it was heart rending, no one's sure what will eventually happen

It's January and the upfront is here again.
I'm smiling already.

hey pple,


I've been here for a year now. . .mennnn time flies o, It was only yesterday that I was a newbie now meself wan dey form 007 with awon boys

I've grown quite a bit, I dont get angry as often as before (even though my brain dey touch once in a while sha ),

I think I'm becoming a more complete engineer too. . .that said, the boys are becoming restless

had a quiet appraisal this year, didn't make any statements (I no get energy to dey have 'talks' with anyone again. . .)

one of my new year resolutions is to always close before 7.00pm so I try to get to work 7.00am and leave 5-6ish, so far so good it's working. . .

going on leave next week. . .yay!!!! no rotating machinery, no radios, no toolbox talks for 15 days

@Ajanlekoko, the subsidy involves both job and pay cut! as for 9ja govt. i hope they realize that people know the truth but have been silent all these years, coping and enduring hardship :-(

@Netotse, sounds like your new year is starting on good notes! enjoy :-)

@Bluediva, i beg i like to share your upfront with u, cos rite now girlz in me office are not smiling :-(

Care to expantiate?

Happy New Year to all. . . .

New year has been a bit topsy turvy - was in work for three days before taking off a week's leave for my birthday. It appears that I'm not getting any younger.

Now I'm back in the office and still trying to navigate through the backlog.

Got a very positive end of year review - still waiting for the unit-wide review before I start calculating my potential bonus.

AjanleKoko:

Care to expantiate?

hmmm. . .

when I arrived here, all I knew was power o, for most other things I would resort to 'iko', but I've been inducted into the wonderful (and often confusing) world of induction motors, sensors and lastly automation.

In addition, I figured I would be just an 'electrical engineer' but funnily enough I got drafted into predictive maintenance and that has changed my worldview as far as engineering is concerned, I no longer think in terms of 'what do I do if/when that machine breaks down' I've been brainwashed   to think what can I do to ensure that even if this machine were to breakdown I would be able to detect it sufficiently early enough that it doesn't affect production/reliability.

I'm better able to understand/relate with mechanical engineers especially since out of 25 people in my department we're only 6 electrical engineers(by training), heck sometimes the electrical engineers(by JD) say I'm almost a mechanical engineer(na so e easy reach? na just local champion I dey use shalo them  ). I still feel having a mech engr as HOD is somewhat holding me back, there's stuff I cant discuss with him, he just wont get. . .smh

I can better appreciate the interface between maintenance and production (I still think production people are annoying   ) things like reliabilty factor, availability factor and utility factor have crept into my lexicon.

In order to measure up to departmental standards, I had to read fire just to understand the process and it affected the way I try to understand engineering concepts, ultimately all the stuff I had to learn in school is starting to make sense.(people tend to get tired of the pedantic way I approach things. . .hehehehe)


etc etc ati be be lo. . .

all that said, I have stuff to be grateful for and stuff to be pissed about. . .still think I could've done better given more (a bit of an oliver twist aren't I? )

^^
Sounds like a good experience.
In truth, the industrial setup is not much different from what you're describing.

@babyx,
Oya, send your account number.

@netotse,
You guys job seems quite challenging.
We need to see result from all these una hard work as per megawatts.
