@ Ali Baba: Was that supposed to be a joke?

CharlesPhc:
Prof needs to attend a time management class again. How would you leave your home later than when it would take you to drive to your destination? I had an employee fired for poor time management. Poor calculation of distance to your destination and knowing when to leave your Point A if you intend to get to Point B at a given time...

What is this one saying? If it were your father that was shot at, you will not come here and be preaching time management . . .

After my Youth Service some years ago in Lagos, I attended the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Meeting at the Ikeja Branch. Newcomers were asked to introduce themselves, stating name and their office address. I came to my turn and I mentioned the fact that I don't work anywhere yet. After the meeting, a one of the Senior Lawyers met me and asked if I was interested in working in his firm, I said yes. We arranged a meeting for that evening. He asked me a lot of questions about my personal and academic background. He also grilled me on issues in Corporate Governance (which I was not too conversant about at that time; That encounter sparked my interest in it). He offered me the job for a monthly pay of N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira). That was 2007 [I would cost me about N37,000 to transport myself to the Office for a month, excluding feeding and accommodation]. He bragged that he was offering more than most Law Firms in Lagos were paying young inexperienced lawyers. He told me that in the real sense, I should be the one paying him for giving me the rare opportunity to learn under His Eminence.

1st Day at Work
I resumed work the following Monday at 7:00am. He arrived shortly after 8:00am and gave me some pleadings to draft. He went out and returned to the office around 4:00pm. I submitted the task I was assigned and sat at my desk. By 6:00pm I went to tell Oga, His Eminence that I was closing for the day. I flared "What nonsense is this? How can you close at this time? Don't think you will be closing early like this everyday!!!!". That since it was my first day at work, he will overlook my sins, but it must not repeat itself ever again. I thanked him and left. I felt humiliated and exploited even.

2nd Day at Work - Resignation Day!
I resumed 7:00am as usual. Oga walked in a few minutes after 8:00am. Instructed me to write some letters to valued clients. He left and returned shortly after 4:00pm. I went to his office and submitted the draft letters. As he was reviewing them, I told him I was leaving. He started flaring up again, but before he went far, I made it clear that I did not want to work for him again. He immediately became remorseful and asked me why. I listed a few: the terms of the employment was unfair; he was too harsh; I was not too desperate; God will provide another better job for me . . .
He started pleading and begging me. He even promised to increase my salary to N50,000. I said no, thanked him for 'believing' in me and I walked out a happy man, with my dignity intact!

Prologue
A few days latter, I was offered a FAR BETTER JOB by the Ogun State Government. I still maintain close contact with My Learned Senior, and I keep him updated of my progress in life.

Lessons Learnt
1. No man controls your destiny. That is the exclusive preserve of God! (well, except you decide to mess it up yourself)
2. It does not cost God anything to bless a man;
3. When you have the opportunity to help someone and you neglect to do it, God will raise help for that person from another place, and you will not share the glory;
4. Allowing desperation to control your choices will only lead you into slavery and despair;
5. The fact that things are not working now does not mean nothing will ever work!

WisdomFlakes:
Concerned elders and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State have accused the national chairman of the party, Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, of not doing enough for the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan.

This statement should be re-phrased to read: "Concerned elders and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State have accused the national chairman of the party, Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, of not giving enough money and bribes for the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan." Shame!

Is that smell coming from you or the septic tank?

He Should be rewarded!

But why?

Sorry, my computer screen is black and white, and I am colour blind!!!!

So, what's the big deal if he was trying to evacuate a fly that entered his nose?

Op, I would have employed you, but for your (alarming) desperation and bad grammar

Truly, this post scared me . . .

After everything, someone will see fine sister/brother [in Church, Mosque, Office, or other decent places] and marry him/her. Not knowing she had been donating the 'thing' to charity throughout their University or/and during Youth Service. If there is no conception after marriage (either due to messed up abortion, contraceptives gone wrong, or STDs, etc.), they will be going from one prayer house/shrine/hospital to the other disturbing pastors/witchdoctors/medical doctors, making their innocent husbands/wives suffer for their youthful stupidity.

I wish God had installed a meter 'down there' so that no one can hide his/her s*xual mileage!

Ps: Not all celebration of childbirth is an attributed thanks to God (or whatever deity is worshiped) - Some people are (secretly) excited that despite all that nonsense, they were (somehow) able to conceive. In that case, their spouses might never discover their dirty secrets.

What's with the (childish) hand signs

TO SAY AN UNMANNED DRONE I THINK IS WRONG, IT CANNOT BE A DRONE IF IT IS MANNED.

POINT OF CORRECTION A DRONE IS A DRONE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AN UNMANNED DRONE.
A DRONE IS A DRONE

Correct!!!

She has issues with her grammar, SO WHAT?

I concur
