Haiya,
Over time i have come to realise that office politics are fueled by a desire to have a lunch mate,and i being one not so keen to feed a collegues stomach,always keeps aways from them.With computer keys tapping away and an occassional glimpse in the telephone screen,i while the day away,secretly hoping that the boss will not ask for the report he has been asking for the past two weeks.
Lunch comes and passes,and i was able to have a handful of groundnuts and dispenser water.It is not everyday that my teeth and stomach are treated to such a volumptous meal and i have to walk around to the toilet mirror to see if any nut peels are stuck on my canines.This,as i empty some of the contents of my bowels.Image is everything,you know.
I started taking ground nuts with the morning tea,and have now graduated to taking them as lunch and even for the afternoon tea after a doctor friend told me they contained all the nutreints of a balanced diet.Much to the chagrin of the office tea lady who realised i was even influencing other colleagues not to buy maandazi from her.
So much so that she seems to by pass my dirty cup on the desk while collecting from loyal customers.I even asked suggested that she diversifys to
nduma and
ngwace so as to attract more customers.Now as she doubles up as a cleaning lady,my working area has turned into living quaters for the local office cat.
Finally,the days activities grind to a halt.But not before i get the contact of one of the contractors fumigating our office.My camp,i realise has crawling residents that i need to rid it of.I hope this time,the pesticide will indeed kill.The cheap one i purchased from local shop had all the ingredients of a good cide except the killing effect.I could see floured cockroaches welcoming me home so many evenings after dusting the camp.
My grandmother once told me that a house without cockroaches is a farmished household.True,i hold the adage,yet i think it is time to rethink everytime i switch on the iron board and surprised roaches in their clans spring out.
The early worm, is the one caught by the early bird.........
