Day 12 @ work

I woke up at 9.04hrs and I was supposed to be at work by 9.00 hours.Well I called a
colleague's mobile as I forgot the induction handbook at work. I finally got to work at 9.40hours.
I was given a Friday ultimatum to sort out my references. I sprang into action. made a few phone calls, sent a few emails and by lunchtime, things turned around. My reference had been faxed. Because I had worked with the same government establishment for 7 years, I used my 2 managers (who were my bosses at different times) as my referees, the HR section refused to send the two references. They sent one covering the 7 years!
I got an email asking for another referee but the project I worked at over 7 years ago, had been merged with something else and my boss had left for God knows where.
Trust me.I put on my thinking cap, and I found a solution as my new HR assistant offered to send the reference by email. BINGO! I quickly sent her my "new referee's official email address. So by this time tomorrow, I'll be singing a different song.

Thank God for mobile phones, emails and new technology.

Have a prosperous New Year!!!!!

Day 11 @ work,2007 and year 2008

Resumed today after a week off work (excess jollofing) . I was yawning throughout the day because I was busy playing this game on my psp.
I called my ex-employer's HR section and I was told that my former manager is on holiday till next year! (yee pa). I've sent an email to the person acting up for her. Hope she replies because I want her to check her manager's post for the reference request so that she can deal with it. Initially, she told me that she got the reference form and has since dealt with it but it seems as if the HR section didn't get it. I hope this gets sorted before the next pay day. (I be Ijebu woman I need money).
Tonight a lot of people will be off to their places of worship while others will be out partying or clubbing. As for me, I should be at the Mass with the family then maybe later, I could go partying.
This year had its ups and downs. For example I had a major operation in the first quarter of the year. Thank God I survived and I thank my mum, siblings, hubby and kids for nursing me back to good health.
I have a wish list for 2008. Although the wishes are not in a particular order but I know somehow, I'll get there.
Enjoy life and I wish you all a prosperous New Year.

BTW, I met my kid sister's boyfie. Na waa o the guy was prostrating for me. You see my kid sis (baby of the family)is at Uni and this guy has been dropping her off for quite some time.

What a day

Went to my see my in-laws yesterday. I was so bored. Even my kids found it boring. I nodded off though. Got home later to watch football and then this with the boys.
I called my younger brother today to wish him a happy birthday then we had a long chat.
And on a sad note, I saw this in sky news. How sad. May her Soul Rest In Peace.

Xmas day!!!

Whao it's Christmas! got a phone call from my mum-in-law very early. i think she said something about church.The boys are already awake while my siblings are busy with the cooking. I invited my cousin's wife and son over for Xmas yesterday so because of transportation, she arrived at my place last night.
By 3 pm, the turkey, my lamb chops and the other soul food was ready for us to dig in. The boys opened their presents after lunch, and they've disappeared into their room ever since. Me, my hubby and siblings exchanged presents too.
I 've had so much to eat and I'm now cooling off with a bottle of red wine (as usual) while watching Nollywood movies. What a day.
Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Mass, Shopping & Fog!!!!!!

Woke up around 10 am. I had 25 minutes to get the boys ready for church. Our priest is very strict. Got boys ready but I ended up not going to Mass. When I got out of the house, it was very foggy but I still went to LS instead to get the Xmas presents. It wasn't as busy as I thought. It was very easy to get a parking space. I got all I wanted except the video games. I'll wait till January for those. On my way back home, a silly driver almost hit my car on the side. She probably couldn't see properly because of the fog or she’s just being careless. Thank God the driver behind me was not too close (tailgating). It wouldn't have been funny. Tomorrow is my last day of shopping then I'll start cooking, eating and drinking.

Day 10 @ work & Letter to Santa

I'm off work till 31st. I was supposed to resume on 27th, but the boss decided to give us 27th & 28th off so I'll go to work on New Years Eve for a few hours and off then I'm off till the 2nd.
When I left work yesterday (Friday), it was so foggy that I just managed to drive home. Thank God it was only 10minutes drive. I couldn't go out as planned because the fog got worse. So I mellowed with a bottle of red wine.
Did a bit of shopping last night at CW but I still haven't got presents for the boys. The stores seem to be sold out of what they want. I'll think of something. Their day has gone out to check the stores if not, we'll get them the games they want for their PS2. They both wrote a letter to Santa explaining the reasons why they should get the presents.
