YEAR IN REVIEW: 2014

So yesterday I was feeling sorry for myself. Reason being? I’m in the office ALONE, on 22^nd of December, at 10PM. 



PM in the night people. 

The entire 5^th floor was creepily quiet and the only light there was, was in my office and the corridor leading to the washroom. Then I kept hearing footsteps along the same corridor. 

Seriously. Please imagine this, because I worked alone, at my desk, until 11:30 in the p.m., which is one of those "dark" times. And which is also just wrong, but additionally scary as all hell, and at one point, I even called security, because I became convinced that I was about to be murdered. 

Then twenty minutes later, the footsteps became more and more pronounced and I hurriedly removed my shoes (which by the way are very flat silent shoes), tiptoed to the door, put out the lights in the office and I knew this was it. This is how I was going to die because y’all I was supposed to be all alone in the building, and footsteps are just...not normal, really.

But guess what. 

It was not a murderer! Instead, a watchman was there, trying to get to the kitchen to warm his food, and through a miracle of physics and what-all, his footsteps were echoing in my office. It was all a load of fun and terror, and before I learned this helpful bit of information, it is possible that I armed myself with scissors and a stapler, and roamed the office barefoot all Mission-Impossible-ing around the corners, scared out of my fucking mind. 

And totally prepared to prod and co-join someone to death. Because you DON’T KNOW THIS. BUT KILLERS FEAR STAPLERS. Oh, they really do.

And I’ll not go into details of how I left because the parking garage in the basement is also not a nice garage. It is a dark, haunted, terrifying Rape Garage, which is sealed by means of dark, haunted, terrifying Rape Walls.

But I’ll not dwell on that because, really, God has blessed me so much in 2014.

Among many, I got a very rewarding job, which has since exposed me to networks with very important people business wise, I drove my first car, yeeiih! my printing business grew in income by 40%, I finally started rearing pigs after procrastinating for a year, DK and I matured so much in our love, our parents met, I got engaged Yeeeiiih!!!, we started planning our wedding and most importantly, I grew closer to God. I talk to God like a friend now, like when I’m going in for a presentation, I ask Him not to embarrass me because He’ll have to tell me why He did so when we meet?

But frankly, yes, it has been a bumpy ride, but God has proven to be faithful. Merry Christmas guys. Count your every blessing, one by one. See what a millionaire you really are.

And remember to carry spare scissors and staplers when you travel this festive period.

You’re welcome.
