WELCOME BACK, WORKING GIRL.

TUESDAY.
The driver is such a disappointment. I don’t understand why he’s not doing what Rongai drivers are famed for. So many of them were ‘playing like them’ (cheza kama Wewe). Luckily, I left the house in good time. If he keeps this up though, I might not make it in good time.
We’re listening to Radio Jambo. My word!!! Some of their stories are borderline hilarious.
Before I forget…

MONDAY
I worked from home yesterday, my morning was really productive. As for my afternoon though, let’s just say life really happens.

BACK TO TUESDAY…
They’ve just played ‘Sunshine’ by Nameless and Habida. Time flies, huh???
Is it me or has the number of Lang’ata joggers drastically decreased??? There’s probably some that decided to rest for one day and ended up resting completely… For the ones who’ve not given up, KUDOS!!! I hope you achieve your goals…
.
7:25am. Lang’ata Road. Awesome!!! 
It’s misty today…
I could see Kibera slum from where I sit. I’d love to go there someday, for charity.
Just passed by Triple S, in high school girls used to go really crazy for guys from that school. My first boyfriend went to that school, apparently, he was a perfect. Lol. No, we don’t keep in touch.
.
So many people are walking along Mbagathi way, going to fend for themselves and their families, I wonder what their dreams are or which goals they intend to squash today.
.
I’ve just read a thread on Twitter about a Mechanical Engineering Graduate and his tarmarking experience, things are really thick out here.
Many people have given their experiences about how that specific race subject their employees to very adverse conditions. Poor pay, tough working conditions and bad terms. It’s sad because their very good in business, hence their profit margins are vast, why subject workers to such deplorable conditions???
.
I’m so grateful for a good employer. I’m grateful for a very conducive working environment and for good terms. These blessings should not be taken for granted.
.
Upperhill gives me such fond memories. It’s where we had the BikoZulu Writing Masterclass. 🙂
Yeah, today I used the Kenyatta route instead of Nyayo … It feels nice to be spoilt for choice.
.
7:40.
Agip Stage.
Well In, Working Girl.

WEDNESDAY


I AM LATE. WELL, NOT YET. BUT FROM THE LOOK OF THINGS…God, SEND HELP!
I started off on such a high note yesterday, I wouldn’t want to ruin it today…


Gosh,
It’s 7:20, there’s no way I’ll be there in remotely good time.
The lady next to me didn’t want to social distance and she had the nerve to not put on her mask properly, I called her out. She’s taken offense though. I don’t care. There’s no way I’m going to be careful all day and then someone puts me at risk.
I also prohibit an extra passenger to use the empty seat next to me. Why don’t people follow rules though???
Also,
PLEASE WEAR YOUR NOSE CORRECTLY, IT GOES OVER YOUR NOSE, NOT UNDER IT!!! – You might as well not wear it.
.
Relax, Working Girl. You’re doing the right thing.
.
We had an incident yesterday evening, the shortcut I use to evade traffic was rather slippery cause it rained. It was super messy, I got rained on because all of us had to alight…
.
I won’t be using that route again though… I’ve been explicitly forbade by my folks… So It’s back to Magadi Road traffic, eyy??? Hello my REALLY LONG lost friend. I’d be lying if I said I’d missed you.


.
In case you’re wondering, the train of thought was inspired by seeing a ‘nganya’. They’re my new evening buddies now. What I don’t like about them is the fact that they don’t get to the central destination. They’re usually in a rush to go back to town. No, they don’t care. Yes, people have accepted it. For years now. We’ve normalised bad behaviour.
.
Wish me luck Fam.
I am excited about my tasks today. They are for a top tier project… 
I will do my best at it.
.
In the meantime,
Allow me read my book, It’s been a while now. The author of my book is so refreshingly different. 🙂
I’ve checked out her page since Saturday, Sis is outchea living her best life.
.
Update:-
I got to work 10 minutes late. Completed my tasks happily (I really like that project) and now it’s lunch time… You’re right, THERE’S FOOD AT HOME.

Our intern gifted me chocolate and it made me so happy. 🙂

Hi. Welcome to my makeshift blog (I'm saying this because I'd like to start a professional one - not sure when). I consider myself a good writer, I have a way with words. Welcome to my mind, it's a great place to be in, most times... P.S - If you feel uncomfortable around necessary truths that involve hard conversations, I'd not recommend... If you're here to support your girl, peep at what thoughts linger on her mind and maybe just get your mind off of things (because it doesn't always have to be that deep) I suggest you stay, you'd like it here... Love, light and a creative space, fam, Nkatha.
