BAD DAY AT WORK...

-




Going through social media, seeing images of different people looking cheerful and fulfilled would get you thinking ‘what am I doing wrong’? Especially when it looks like all your efforts are not appreciated no matter how big you think it is.

The truth is, everyone has his/her bad days. The question is, how do they survive the endless boss’ expectations with little or no motivation for initial sacrifices made. If you truly give in your best😉.

People react and respond differently to emotional and mental stress ( notable work related stress). Breath in, think deep and make a mental note of what takes your mind off annoying people, things and spirit 😛.

Personally, I go for two things; my novel and my phone, with focus on certain entertaining blogs, social platforms and photo gallery ( especially pictures detailing my sons growth). These things take my mind off  annoying scenes from the office.

I think bad days are results of not meeting up to expectations, treated less than desired and given unimaginable tasks. The best way to come out of the cloudy day is to determine to beat up all expectations. Prove to that boss that he/she will not survive without you.

Make yourself the missing piece that cannot be substituted especially to get the puzzle box fixed.

    I think bad bosses are a mental cause of mental stress in Nigeria. I definitely agree that focusing on what makes you happy is a great way to overcome a bad day

    If my everyday is bad, then there are things I need to fix. Change of environment/unit, a talk with senior colleagues or a break.

    Bad bosses are the worst. Even when you complete a task perfectly, they'll still look for the tiniest mistake to use and totally discredit your work. Meanwhile that same work will earn them millions. It's really crazy what bosses are doing and the sad thing is no one can regulate them. I understand that you have to make yourself happy and all that but you can't really escape from the toll a bad working (or any other) environment takes on you. Let me stop here so I won't write a whole blog post in the comments😅

    Living to impress people is the first major sign of low self esteem... Do ur very best and move on.. #Mind u, u can't impress who doesn't want to be. Mental health is paramount over a job where one will b replaced if he/she drops dead. Febson ✌

    Above it all inner peace does the magic for me. Never loose in pursuit of a boss' acceptance.

    Most Nigerian Jobs and Employers put a huge Mental and Emotional strain on Employees.

    I don't get the need to belittle and rubbish a person's efforts.

    The best way to cope is have a strong sense of self worth.

BYE TO PAPA AT LAST...

This is one of my first stories, but i had to do some editing, had to change somethings.  Read and let me know your thoughts... Happy holiday.   I smiled to myself. We are free of his presence after all the years of pain. The sounds of my sister's whimpers were unbearable and many times I'd feel her pains like it were mine. She would return to the mat, hold me tight from behind and wipe away from my eyes the tears she refused to shed. Of course, she had grown accustomed to the pain and humiliation she received night after night since the death of mama. I was thirteen when it all started but I knew what was going on despite how hard Ada tried to shield me from it.   Ada grew quickly after Mama's death. Her rounded breasts were just starting to jut out of her chest and her hips didn't take long to sway elegantly. Despite her beauty and elegance, she was not able to flaunt her comeliness before the boys that stared at her eagerly. This was because she was busy taki...

YOU CAN

 It has really been a while in this space, despite having so many things to share, but as you know or may not know, I like money and have been busy thinking about it. 😂 Tonight is one of those moments I travel down memory lane and get so emotional. They are so many moments and I’ll keep sharing as the spirit leads because I hope someone gets encouraged. This night, I sent a job opening to my not so little brother and he replied with an image of him in his medical robe (a new job), and as usual, anytime I see him in one, I close my eyes for few seconds. You indeed can do anything you desire. One fateful end of term in primary school, bros came back with an altered report card. Trying to remember what he changed his position to 🤔, either 11TH to 1ST or some other number to 11TH. My guy was in denial of his actual result/position. Getting home, my stern father was so angry at his attempt to alter his result to present a false one. He did not waste a second in taking result changer b...

BIRTH SCARS

 I just stepped out of the restroom, gisting, smiling while trying to fix my jean trouser and the next thing I heard was ‘why is your tummy like that’? I would have simply laughed it off or pretended not to have heard but something tugged at my heart. I felt pained. Maybe because I expected better from a fellow mother or a woman, but then, women’s problems are women themselves. I was about to explain when I was cut by another statement of how she has two kids and her tummy not as wrinkled as mine.😌 While trying to come up with excuses and justifications about my wrinkled stomach, I realized it wasn’t worth the stress of overthinking it. One, her two kids probably weighed lesser than mine, two, I survived the journey, yes, it was really a journey and most importantly I’m hoping to get more wrinkles. It’s important we understand that every birth scar is a testimony of life no matter how ugly you think it is. Having a less ugly scar doesn’t make you better, rather, I think it means ...
