Woes of a technot savvy office lady

It has been ages since I blogged! Well not entirely my fault now is it? Well in this period of time some changes have been effected in the company :) Employees who have been spending time on the net 'developing their social and writing skills' were nabbed and yes, you got it right I was among them :)
Lets take a journey to the beginning,...a month ago, the networking department installed a firewall called cyber-roam, naive IT birds like me asked why this was being made mandatory and I was told it was just so that the company would protect itself from harmful internet content, because I am a loyal employee ;) I supported this move to facilitate efficiency for the organization-after all we are working to get recognized out there and am a hardworking employee- After that, life continued and smoothly :)

Fast forward to one month later, I get off from a meeting and head home at around mid-day, I was not feeling so well and therefore the detour was necessary. The meeting had gone very well and I felt like a prospect buyer was coming on board soon! Good for my numbers and my portfolio- so I went home tired in body but strong in spirit it was going to be a good day. Later that night a colleague called me to 'check up' on me and I sensed that was not the entire reason he had called....then he kept throwing certain things like the Ocampo6 and I kept wondering what this topic has got to do with me ( am a Kenyan prepared to see justice come alive but the proceedings at some point were just too boring- totally uncalled for after a long day at work). Conversation keeps getting boring until he notices am loosing concentration with the amounts of ooos and aahh I kept saying. He drops the bombshell!

"Vee (as he fondly calls me) You are among the *company X top ten internet users category- Dating and Matrimonial! I almost fell off my seat! Dating and matrimonial? I don't even know of any name of a site in that category let alone be on one -Only to find out it was Facebook, twitter and the likes- #shakingmyhead."
It was the funniest conversation ever as I later found out that people had been called into the CEO's office and asked what the hell they had been doing siphoning 1MB of internet speeds! The next day I walk into the office and there is a cloud of hostility looming over people's heads! If people had their way, the networking guys would have been hung on the roof and left to dry...How could they send us mail and cc the CEO? Who does that?

Well I have been siting on my chair watching suspiciously waiting for the day I will be called in for a lecture :) It has been over a week now and nothing..maybe he forgot- Must be the fact that am also trying my hand at the company's blog and he was impressed (thinking) Must be (chuckle). Today I get the change to update my blog but this will have to be under wraps. I have to look for ways to still get my fans entertained and I will find it :) I have to finish this because being that loyal employee I have got to go home :) its time...

For old times sake :)

Juices flowing, fave playlist, Thursday that feels like a Friday and all awesome thoughts. I am making mighty milestones and I thank one God Almighty bana warrr I have come far :) Ok now back to the usual sarcastic me...A friend gave me a brilliant idea and I think I just know how to execute it ( Jose I wish you were here, one serious bitching session needed- like real soon, since you went to the UK you have become ooooo so very boring!!!! KIDDING) So I have had the privilege to have been in a girls' school for four long but very interesting years and truth be told I had some of my most incredible memories there. It was a roller coaster of hysteria mixed with just the right dose of  hormonal rages and plenty of Cabin fever scenarios :) :) As am writing the memories all come to light and  cheka like a stupid mama wondering why we ever made such a big deal of some things! (Jana we was just telling pops all the crazy "don't tell this shit" things we used to as kids and...

MOTHERHOOD 101- I am no expert!

So my fiance has been begging me to write something,anything! and I kept putting him off...the writing bug has not been around for a really long time and too much has happend in my life that I really did not have time to write. Its been two months since I have officially been back to work and its killing me! Mad respect to all mother's y'all! Now I know. Most of my peers have been sending me inboxes of late asking for advise here and there about motherhood and I feel really honored :) So in honor of that, I will document sneak peaks of my motherhood experiences the best way I know how (Darn! my writing mojo just went and dissapeared with the dogs....sigh!) a) Pregnancy I have to say this was the most beautiful part of motherhood for me and the most challenging. I vividly remember when I first got the results of my pregnancy test..FEAR,PANIC,HORROR were the words that were running through my head. I was barely out of Uni, with a boyfriend I had dated for about seven months,...

2012 hasbeen one EFFING Good Year!

I have not written on this blog for a whiiiiiiile...OK even that is an understatement. I have not had the juices flow in a long time and things have been kinda hectic on my end. As is my tradition, Its almost end of year and I have several things to document...It is that time of the year where I reflect, think about all the things that have happened in my life and sigh*2012 has been a pretty good year! So first things first... a) My Job Have you ever had a love/ hate relationship with your job? Well, lets just say am one of those people. My kinda job is fascinating, mind boggling even...the kind of processes that go through getting work out are intricate and it fascinates me and some people are pleasent to hang out with BUT others tho! Enough said. That said and done, I am now permanent and I thank God for the far he has brought me. Building my confidence in my ability to be the best at what I do. God has been great. b) My folks/ Family There is a phrase commonly used that I tot...
