I think I should quit!
"I think I should quit"
…………………………………………
I woke up this morning and haven't left my bed since.
"Since when?" It's been Two hours Fam and I still haven't left my bed, except of course to warm the beans I prepared yesterday that I barely touched because of too much pepper. I still wonder how I made such a careless mistake.
"Ose ebenile!" 😩
I also left my bed to pee, but that doesn't count because duhh, Am I supposed to hold it in because I want to make a point?🙄
I had to wee abek!
Woh, Stop trying to analyze the accuracy of my initial statement, you'll only miss the point.
……………………………………
Ever since 'Balablu' rigged his way into victory I've been mopping like a hungry cat.
I've always felt unproductive but these days I feel the emotion intensifying.
Swiping carelessly on Instagram, checking out the brand I work with and admiring how consistent the graphics team has been with purple and pink.
"Nicee work guyssss!!" I mutter in my chest because I still haven't brushed this morning and I don't want anything ungodly entering my nostrils.
I suddenly feel a tingling in my stomach, and it's not the type I felt when my crush of three years told me "I love the gown you wore to church this morning, it's beautiful"
That boy really gave me butterflies, however, I digress😒.
This tingling wasn't a tingling.
It was a knot and a "Shey you dey whine me ni" feeling.
Turns out they aren't following the content calendar I created for the month in it's entirety. Even the Pinterest images I sourced for were replaced.
"Wetin dey occur?"
"Are these people managing my services or what?"
"Abi I'm not doing the work well?"
"Should I just quit before they sack me?"
"I need the money but if my services are anything beneath amazing then I should just go and start selling ice-block"
💡
Ice-block business is actually a "not-so-bad" idea because the heat in Asaba is on a Tufiakwa level.
In addition to the current Balablu situation, ice-block business would really be nice.
My Tagline; 'Cooling the tongue and mind of angry men'
My target audience and target customers would be:
People who don't pay light bill.
People who pay light bill but don't have generator.
People who pay light bill, have generator but don't have money for fuel. (My Ice-block would be cheaper than fuel🤞🏾. That's my mandate!)
My former coworkers who didn't follow the content calendar. Na them push me into this business 😒.
You that will read this story without commenting. 'You go chop ice-block tire'😤
On a more serious note, I'll just ask them WHY and hope they tell me;
"It was just too good that we didn't even know where to start from"😣 and if not, I'll sulk for some hours, learn from whatever mistakes noted and work towards attaining perfection.
Why Because….
I am Chommy Chocs.
Self-sabotage and low esteem has nothing on me.
Till Next Time….
(Smiles in ice-block)😌..
Seek a third party appraisal on the work. Someone who no know say na you dey run that matters. You fit also consult ya colleague wey you know say sabi. Pls don't quit.
Where is the ice block
