Watch It!

I wasn’t angry – I was outraged! Now you do realize that the latter is a highly graduated form of the former, don’t you? Well, my definition.

It was one of those days where the weather was dry coupled with the fact that the office has no window, so it’s an air-conditioner-throughout one. This was a terrible combination of situations particularly when deadlines had to be met too. Happenstances like these usually aren’t harbingers of hunger for me, and eventually when it came at about 3.00 pm it did so with some mighty oomph – the ‘get-up-and-go’ kind.

You Are No God!

Have you ever been in a meeting where a suggestion by another received thumbs up from almost all participants, and you thought that same idea was dumb but unable to profer yours, perhaps a better idea due to your inability to express yourself better in public? Well, I have sat through several of those meetings where I was unable to utter a word.

I usually would walk with my older colleagues to Kwame Nkrumah Circle, discussing football, politics, women, and any other topic a group of twenty-something year old lads talked about whenever they congregated. And when we got there, we jumped into waiting ‘trotros’ or joined long and winding queues. But not on this day – nay! They would tease the living daylight out of me. So I dashed out of the class immediately the lecturer dropped his black marker and duster. “No time for imbecilities!”…as Asempa FM’s Songo usually blurts when incensed about the goings-on at the GFA. Reason? I had had a very terrible day in class, ‘bombing’ an impromptu company law quiz – one I wasn’t prepared for.
