The euphoria has definitely ended. This place is seriously wearing me down. Every little things seems to take forever, and take so much energy. Making a simple phone call to my London office from my desk for example involves me getting a form from the secretary, obtaining 2 signatures to approve me using the phone, IT coming to unlock the phone, and then finally 1/2 a day later I can make the call. Getting a notepad for work took 1 week…a similar drill, although this time someone had to physically go to a shop to buy the notepad for me (work don't stock them because they will go walkies). And don't even get me started on the coffee machine. Coffee regularly runs out by 11 am - and is not replaced in time for my afternoon energy dip…why? because people bring their large thermos' to the machine (no joke) and pilfer about 6 cups at a time! God forbid I need the loo after 4pm, no loo roll is replaced after this time, just incase us employees decide to take it home with us. IM GOING BONKERS!!!
Ive lived in London all my life. Ive just turned 30. Now Im emigrating to Nigeria. Is this the start of an exciting adventure...or the onset of an early mid life crisis?
