I think I fall under 7. I really couldn't be bothered being chatty or friendly especially on international flights. I like to be left alone. I can't stand those who feel the need to make conversations. Like really why must we be chat buddies just because we stuck together on a 10hrs flight! If your bored please turn on your in-flight entertainment that's what its there for. undecided

Politics / Re: My Encounter With Robbers At Mile2 by ThoniaSlim(f): 12:22pm On Nov 27, 2014
hardbody:


They have tried this on me at least twice but I have always instinctively hit at the hand and my phones dropped back in the car. The last time was so funny. Having learnt their tricks, I noticed the guy reviewing my car and signalled to his cohort to distract me. At d same time I moved my phones to a compartment just above the pedal areas. The decoy guy came to my side and started speaking gibberish as usual while his counterpart was gripping for the phones he so certainly saw in less than a minute ago. I knew the game well, so I reached out for my jack knife flipped it and as the guy was bringing his head up and out because he actually leaned into my car, I struck and the knife grazed him. He just shouted and disappeared. I wound up and carried on as if nothing happened. These days I drive with my short gun and this Hausa sword that looks like a walking stick. I am a late night crawler. As I type I just left my office to my drinking pad while waiting for traffic to thin out before I head out to my mainland abode. I work around VI and hang out at Oniru most nights. God punish their papa.

Bravo moves!

Only very inexperienced small boiz; run after a lady; or goo to woo a lady; they just see walking on d road; it is vvery inappropriate and immature;
They are appropriate quarters for that; if the situation is not appropriate; or the atmosphere does not warrant it; pls do not go; its as simple as that; telling u from my countless experiuences; I have never been embarrased; or lookrd down upon ( ur dressing n presentation tells d way u'll be addressed)...

Those who have eyes, n are willing to lear,; pls do...

Am out.

Exactly! Why would a grown man sagging his trousers really think he'll get a response from me?

Also time and place matters a lot when approaching a lady! Imagine walking up to a lady stuck in a long queue at GTB Bank and expecting her to entertain your ridiculous lines! Like really?

Also any smart man would know you never approach a lady when she's with her group of friends. That's a big no no.

moreeni:
Most grown girls don't say or think that. They are usually wise enough to be objective in their thoughts and perceptions. Sometimes, the best that could happen to a relationship is for it to fall apart so other good things could fall together. After all, not all relationships lead to marriages.

I'm more concerned with your principles as a human being than how many times you pray or go to Church. Oh have I met a couple of men that were quick to throw in the moral card or quote every bible passage known but were worst than devil himself.

So I'll rather say I love him because his principles make me wanna be a better woman!

People need to break free from this habit of comparing themselves to others. No two destines are the same! We all run a personal race and because you don't have it today doesn't mean you won't have it tomorrow. Just be thankful and grateful! At the right time God will perfect His plans for her!

I seriously wonder at some Nigerian women! So girls are trying to breakup your home, how about your husband who gives them the opportunity to do so?

When would women start holding the men in their lives accountable for their actions?

By the way, learn the golden rule of silence. Not everything and everyone deserves a response.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Already Frustrated With My New Job by ThoniaSlim(f): 6:09am On Nov 08, 2014
Please my people of nairaland, I need your advice on what step to take on this situation.



Please no insults, I just need an advice.
I am an engineer by profession, I worked as a consultant in a company some years back until I got this present job. Truth be told I was happy when I was called for an interview in a much bigger company where I presumed I will make a career. First I remember I submitted my CV to a friend who promised to hook me up with a better job, and sometime this year he called to advice I study for a test but refused to tell me the company n type of test I should prepare for. To cut off the long story, sometime last month, I was called in for an interview for the proposed job, I was elated and took an undermined risk of travelling for the interview. On reaching the office the next day, I was impressed at the company and the level of organisation in the company. I was interviewed, I performed and I was told that I will be briefed when I resume. Waow I already got the job which was what I told myself because of the way I saw how impressed the interviewers looked. Finally I got the job with an offer of below a hundred and forty thousand as gross salary, I later realized that I was employed as an office assistant, me an engineer a formal manager and to grease the elbow, it was stated in my offer letter and I was to serve a dozen of young engineers in my office. I resumed with total equality but realised that I was way below the food chain and the young stars didn't waste time to clear me on that. One of them yesterday even told me I would help him make some deposit at d bank and all that, and even went on to say that it was part of my job description. Now I know I don't have to envy which is non of my business, it's already 14 days into the job and I feel my dignity has been tramped and I may not have a quick rise here. Let me halt here but will share more ordeal I have passed through in this few days if you care.

Please I just need to know what you people think and what you have to advice either for me to get out of this situation or another.

I don't get it. Didn't your offer letter state your job description and position offered? I wanna assume it did and if it did then you definitely worked into this with your eyes wide open.

If you not happy then quit or stop complaining! My previous job I wasn't happy with what I was doing (HR) and I quit. I remember a lot of people telling me I was mad to quit before getting something else but I just couldn't see myself working there any more and it was killing my drive and morale on the job. Less than two weeks to my last day, I was asked to come pick up 2 offer letters at two different companies. One was a bank and the other was an Advertising Agency. Even though the Bank paid more, I chose to work with the Advertising Agency because it aligned with my future plan and how I would like to see my career progress.
