Laptop home

I'm actually excited to have my laptop back! I didnt think I'd get this excited but when I realised I can't recall the last time I accessed ish online on it I am!
This is where I perfected my typing skills. Well to be fair I do look sometimes and I want a mac but not badly enough to diss this one that I paid for in small amounts. What? I wanted to have money to burn and to own a laptop. Now so many folk have them its not even a novelty. Well unless you have a mac or a colored one. Pity I can't dye it pink. That's a winning color!
Now that I have 600mb's to get rid of by 7th January. Oi. There's always you tube ei? I know when I can best make it vanish. During my mini leave. It's just 8 days but I need it. I feel worn out and I need the time to collect myself. 7 days left. I dont feel glee at all. Is it because its also during the season to be jolly (hurl). We shall see.

God's decisions

I've been feeling like crap lately. Spaced out/indecisive/blah. All the bad things you dont need to get with the daily grind of life. Been faking it through work with the chirpiness when what I really want to do is curl in bed and stare into space. Dont knock it, I did this successfully last year for far too many days back to back and it didnt end well. Anyhoo, between people I wished dead still having pull on my supposed friends and being turned down for a promotion, its been the Monday from hell. So many times I thought I'd burst into tears mid customer but somehow I managed to hang on thanks to my self appointed life coach. See the thing is while most folk expect me to be a robot person and have no time to sink low, she allows me to be sad. Of course not indefinitely but I need my wallow room.
On the other matter of dead people walking, I think I can get my stuff together and just be. Figured out my outfit already so I dont have to go and get the ones there. I really wish I had carried them all but at worst I will wear jeans. This is the dreaded week after all and now I have 9 more days till leave so I can totally do this.
As always I dont have a point, I just get lost in the catharsis of putting my thoughts down.

Past

Uh the past. I just wish there was a way to erase it sometimes. Smart comments on how I should perceive it definitely dont change my mind.
This is not about bad karma or not letting go of the past sometimes I just want things my way.

Customer service

Being one of the folk who has to deal with such inane statements like:manage customer expectations, I know bout dealing with crap you didnt create.
Anyhoo, this morning I call Multi-choice just to confirm if a payment I made was posted. They say no, I give them the payment details and I think everything is sorted right? Wrong. Midst JFK Jr's E! True hollywood story I get disconnected and calmly call and ask bout the deal. The mandatory -sorry for your inconvenience and even though they go silent mid call they reconnected. I jump in the bathroom, get out and again I'm disconnected. Of course now my blood pressure is rising but miraculously I manage another calm call to be reconnected. Then I left to go to Nairobi Hospital. Dont know who went yesterday but they had power problems so they couldnt use the generator to print lab results??? Told me to come back today. So like a good girl, today I check in and go straight into the doctor's. I'm told I have to get a number to be seen. No problem. I wander to the said counters and then I'm told I have to queue to be billed for a review for their mistake. You realize at this point my yogi status has vanished right?
I had to be re-told by another staff member that I wont be billed. I know insurance pays the bills but still! When I got to the billing counter I was given this sweeping statement:reviews done within 24 hours dont incur a further consultation charge. Now why did my pressure have to explode at all??? People who dont know all you need in such a situation are just irrelevant!
I'm at the salon to calm down. I hope dstv havent disconnected me again.
