The look on my face when I return from the holidays + additional leave and I see the number of my unread emails…

 

When you realize that you haven’t done your time-sheets since the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord…

 

…then you realize that you neither remember the password nor how to fill a time-sheet…

 

When your pastor said at the new year kigosho that 2017 is not your year of stress so you take matters from the Lords hands into your own and desperately try to escape your problematic projects and clients…

 

When I walk into a meeting fully knowing that i’m late but try and pretend to be surprised that i’m late…

 

When the boss is giving props for good work done on a project and I am desperately trying to make eye contact so that they don’t forget to mention my name…

 

When it’s Njaanuary and someone asks if I want to go for lunch, and on top of that says it will be *expensed (yes, i’m aware this is not a word)…

 

When I accept the prospect of a massive new project but then it quickly descends into a satanic frenzy…

 

How I feel about a client when they interrupt a presentation one too many times…

 

When my computer is acting up and the IT guy is nowhere to be seen…

 

When I keep peeping into the boardroom to check if a meeting has ended so that I am the first to obliterate the left over snacks…

 

When the meeting has ended and the rest of the office hears that there are left over snacks in the boardroom to be obliterated…

 

Trying to concentrate in the  afternoon after a heavy lunch…or the morning after K1 reggae…

 

When your lunch buddies leave for lunch without you…

 

Repeatedly getting RFP’s from the same potential client yet they know they will never give you the job…

 

When you’re a newbie and they think that you’re quiet and innocent but inside you’re just like…

 

When the office rookie observes that its an office full of ladies wearing heels and they try and join the squad but the devil is a liar…

 

That unfortunate moment when a client knows that they have you by the balls…

 

When your problematic client tries to rope everyone in for a last minute conference call on Friday at 4:47pm…

 

My face when the “know it all” client who shot down the agency’s good idea is shot down by their boss who thinks  the agency’s idea is a brilliant idea…

 

When your coworkers bring hot friends to the bar but they don’t know you’re also the tea lady of Team Mafisi Sacco…

 

When I am telling jokes and randarandaing the office like an MCA then I see the boss and remember I owe them work…
