Hello….

What a boring day! Glancing at my watch, it is 35 minutes past 11 and I'm already bored out of my wits. Hmmmmph!!! Thinking to myself, I can't wait for 3:00pm to close. Well, I can't say it's exactly boring cos I have my best friend to keep me occupied most of the time. You might be wondering who he or she might be. Drumrolls..... My mind! Yass! Yes, I actually have a crazy mind but I love her too much.

Let me introduce myself (clears throat) I'm Lena Adje Motilor. Yes, that's me. I'm 24 years of age, currently single and loves music and movies, sometimes hanging out with the few friends I have.

Abigail: Lena? Lena? ... Leeennnaaaa

Lena: Yes…. Sorry please, what can I do for you?

Abigail: Are you serious? I need you to file these papers and be quick so you can get me lunch.

Lena: [Witch! Omowobe! (In my head of course)] Yes Ma! [Well, you might be wondering what I'm still doing at a job like this even though they treat me like shit. Simple! I need the money, plus I want to save up for school so I need to stay here. In fact I have to, with this unemployment rate in our country. Please I'm in a comfortable lead. LOL]

Jacob: Lena, hurry and grab me too some lunch.

Lena: Why don't you give me the money, and I will just grab it on my way back.

Jacob: Did you just dare speak back to me? Are you crazy? I said go and come back

Lena: Sorry boss. (See this goat) Aaaahahhhhhh

Jacob: Lena, come for the money.

At Amelia's end ( where Lena buys the food)

Lena: Amelia, how far now? Today, I want soft wele oo and it should be very sweet (In local dialect)

Amelia: My dear, how much?

Lena: Amelia give me waakye and wele and gari and very very hot pepper okay.

Amelia: Okay o

(A man standing close to Lena spits into the gutter)

Lena: Aahh! Bros, why now? Can't you see I'm standing here? Aahhh… Do you have to spit here? Aahh why? I beg, don't make me start oooo… If I start this morning ... Yoo aahh...

Bros: Start what? ... Mtchheewww

Lena: See fool ... Mtchheewww

(Lena leaves to the beans seller)

Lena: Aunty Ophe, I beg the usual okay.

Aunty Ophe: Okay.

[I checked my time and I see I'm already late but also hungry. Hmmm well I wouldn't even try to buy anything today cause, I don't have enough to buy food and also get home. So I guess it's water therapy today too.

Seeing that I'm late, I tried to run walk a little. (Is there even a word like that?). Smh… As I made my way to the office, jus when I was about to cross the road a car comes out of nowhere which makes me jump making the polythene bag land on the ground with the food scattered everywhere.

Lena: OMG! Eeeeeiii I don die oooo eeiii... Where is the driver? Eeiii…. Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop! But he's already gone. My people are at it again oooo... Eeiii, what do I do now?

Looking into her pocket, she pulls out the last 20 cedi note on her and walks back to get another food for her boss and colleague.

Abigail: Where have you been? I'm starving! Give me my food!

Jacob: Lena, where's my food?

Lena: Here you are, boss.

Jacob: Mm... And Lena, you have a beautiful ass okay.

Lena: Goat… Dog.... Pig… Thunder fire you.... Osha

"Oh hey Lena, how are you? Haven't seen you today oooo... Hope they are not being their usual self with you. Don't worry it will pass but please make sure you don't forget to eat okay"

Well you must be wondering who that was. She's Lucy, the only kind soul we have in this whole office. Yes, and I repeat the only.... Me and my big mouth.... Well, she's so kind.

Yes, back to my introduction before I was rudely interrupted. As I was saying, yes I'm a crazy, fun, loving girl with a sharp mouth to be thankful for even though it will one day put me into trouble. Well I'm not really afraid for trouble since I live in trouble... Yes, Jamestown! That's my street!

I work at a marketing firm and currently a junior marketer. I was supposed to be promoted last year but my boss being my boss said I wasn't qualified and gave it to our dearest Abigail (even though I think she slept with him). Yes... Eeiii my mouth...
