10 Ten

Saturday!!!

This particular day of the week is the most stressful for me. Why? because, Julia and the rest are usually home.

The house chores are doubled. I have to do some restocking and all. Then a little free time on my hands.

Today is not an exception. I got up extra early just to meet up with my schedule. Due to the moving out topic the house has been tensed and it seems like Julia has gotten worse with her maltreatment. Like she is trying to teach me a lesson before I leave the house. Also she has stopped Tom from giving me my allowance for this month completely. Something about whomever thinks she's grown should bare the responsibility like one.

I know she is just trying to put a stop to my plans. Thinking as an intern I won't be paid much, also it should be a small business. In her mind she has succeeded in cutting off my legs.

Haha!!!

Although, she has definitely succeeded in putting me in dire straits, its not enough to be a mountain in my path.

As a result of my early manipulation of time in other not to be stopped from coming into the office today by Julia, I got to work an hour early. 30mins ahead of my already early schedule on weekdays.

After checking in. I arrived at my office floor to find the cleaner almost done with her duty. Very early too. I know they arrived early but this is really recommendable. Hmph! if only others were like her.

The sound of the phone ringing shook me. I picked it up and heard my bosses voice.

"Come in"

I have been here for over thirty minutes and I'm quite sure he didn't pass here so how come his in his office. Did he sleep here.

Not surprising.

I step into the office to find him seated on the sofa with documents open on the table in front of him. I look round in search of any sleeping material but find none. Weird

****

I am exhausted. We have been working non stop since I got here. Going over documents, typing, making adjustments. Finalizing the reviews and so on. I'm not just exhausted. I am also hungry. Between getting up really early, my house chores and this I haven't eaten all day. Guess what the time is? 6:30pm. Yes you heard right. I have drank more cups of water than any other day of my life, just to fill the void in my stomach and yet this man doesn't look like he's letting up any moment soon. Well if he's going to stay without food. I am not. Moreover its time we rounded up. I'm already so late. Mtchew.

I get up to my office and order us dinner. I am definitely not go to wait at the bus stop on empty stomach.

The moment I get back he asks "what should be done about the shipping branch?"

why is he asking me, I took hungry for this. I want to vomit blood right now. I am definitely not the best company when I am hungry. Whilst complaining internally, I reply.

"I think, the problem lies with the manager. Yes the workers are not doing well bit that could mostly be because of a lack of appropriate authority. Also, I believe a dismissal of the manager and some of the workers will no doubt be good for the branch."

"Hmm, I see. Why not all the workers?"

"well, its not entirely a bad idea but that is for a startup company. By sacking everyone you'll be crippling the business for a while but if you dismiss some and maybe suspend one or two. The branch can keep on functioning, with the help if the remaining whom I'm sure would do any form of bootlicking not to be sacked too. Also they can help the newcomers adapt at a fast pace"

"Good. Get right to it first thing Monday morning"

huh?

"Sir, I don't think sending me to the job is a good idea. I don't know what to do. Moreover this is the job of HR." This hunger wants to get me fired

"Are you undermining my decision?"

uh oh

"no sir, most definitely not. I'll get right to it".

ugh!!!!

"work with HR on the new replacements"

"yes sir"

Well the only positive thing is that I'm going to enjoy the look on the managers face when I fire him.

At that moment my office phone goes off and I walk out to receive the call. Security says the food is here and I instruct him to send it up.

After receiving the food I walk back into the office and set the food on the table. To create space I had to remove the systems and the documents.

"What are you doing?"

"clearing the table"

"I can see that. Why?"

"its late sir. We have to eat, we've been at this since morning"

"did I ask you to order food"

"no sir, but I am hungry and I figured you'd be too"

The look he gives me frightens me to stupor. So I find a way out. Ah, the dispenser

"water?" I didn't wait for a reply. I just went ahead and got us water.

And then set the food. He was still on his system. I narrow my eyes at him. This man is getting on my nerves

"sir, your meal" he snobs me. I grit my teeth. I'm too hungry for this

I get up, walk over to him, lean down, collect his system from him, turn towards his office desk and place it there.

I saw the look of surprise on his face, I know I'm in deep shit but I can care right now. I just want to eat. So I say to him

"Please caution me after the meal"

Something must have touched his heart because he actually picked up his cutlery and started eating.

We have just finished the meal when his phone rang. So he got up to speak to the person. Although we were in the same space but due to the largeness of the office I couldn't really here the conversation as he walked to the window to answer the call.

After disposing of the takeouts and sat back to wait for him. He should be fast I really have to get going. its almost eight.
