"Take Your Kid to Work" Day

April 24, 2008: "Take your kid to work" day...



I had no clue, not like i had a kid to bring; of course, i could have loaned one from one of the families in my church but anyways, its all good.

I got to work and almost everybody had their little rugrats sitting beside them. It kindda looked cool, making everybody else feel left out for not having a child or not bringing yours today.



Anyways, it got me thinking...



I am sure that there are people who will not dare participate in this event due to the "special" nature of their jobs:

I thought of a few, if you know some more, abeg, add am join.



1. Strippers

Of course, i thought about them first...no prejudice. they do a heck of a job sliding up and down dem poles, tolerating raunchy old men and fine young men (like me) staring and ogling lecherously; sometimes even touching. They work hard for their money and i aint even mad at them; plus we know a lot of them were forced by circumstance into it. However, how you gon take your lil' munchkin to work? The only way it can work out is to take your daughter to show her an example of what not to do as an adult and take your son to show him an example of what to appreciate as an adult. LOL!

as an after thought, lets add porn stars to this group.



2. Patrol Cops

I mean, i understand that you r doing the community a huge service, keeping the hood corners and the streets safe...but you will be doing yourself a "huge Dis-service" by taking your child to the front lines of violence and crime. Several things can happen:

a. The child might see the life of criminals and be intruiged, get curious and vow to try it out someday.

b. The child might see the life of criminals and vow to be like you in the future to take these guys down... kindda good right?

c. The child might get hurt...these muthafuckers on the streets dont give a flying fuck about you and your kid. you are an enemy and all that is yours. Who knows, maybe the criminal actually brought his own kid to work...situation gets messy. lmao!!!



3. Criminals

Number 2 brought me here. Criminals ranging from petty theifs to Bank robbers to grand theft autos (thats what i wanna call them) to murderers to politicians.

I mean, what good can come out of taking your kid to work today? i dont see one.....oh wait....maybe if you get caught and arrested today; God forbid, killed...the Child might learn a thing or two about things not to do as a criminal so you dont get caught or killed. Or just swear off being a criminal, period!...even better. lmao! needless to say that the child will be needing several sessions with a head doctor!!





if you can think of anymore jobs like these ones, lemme know abeg.



I will be remiss if i dont mention the super cool jobs



1. Electrical Engineers:

i mean, that had to come first. we r just cool like that and we do a heck of a lot of cool stuff. all the kid will be saying all day is "AWESOME"

2. Doctors:

Depending on the area of specialization and what you expose the child to...it could go either ways; good or bad. but that does not remove from the fact that Doctors are supercool

3:Astronauts:

I mean, even adults still uhhh and ahhh about that stuff...shut up! you know you still do.

4: Pilots:

If you ever seen the view from the cock-pit mid flight, you know what i mean.





I can go on and on...again, if you wanna add to the list, be my guest.



P.S.
i remember going to work with both my folks at different times...anyday there was no school on a week day was "take your kid to work" day and it sucked after a while! The only place i like to go was my dad's hospital cos dem pretty young student nurses were always rubbing their brests against my head and i lurved it!!! lmao!!!

Buddha Call

trust me, this will crack you up!!

freestyle blogging

just writing from the top of my head...

WHAT I BEEN DOING:

I have been making changes in my life lately
I figured that since its not yet mid-year, i could still remix my resolutions...so i did!

I reloaded my life's barrel with the zeal to succeed

I registered for the GRE ( cant wait to get tha over with)
I finished one of my projects (one more to go)
I decided that expecting less from people leads to less dissapointments
I decided not to kill myself over issues; its not worth it
I caught up on naija's new music (i love gongo aso, lori le, flex and malaria soty)

LATEST FOOLISHNESS AT WORK:

My boss has been showing signs of kolomentality for a while now but today, he just convinced me that he might be suffering from a "brain attack"
He said he thinks his dog started talking to him a while ago...i mean i love dogs madly but i dont have conversations with my canine friends. At least not except as a joke or out of sarcasm...or when i am really mad at them, but whatever. This dude was actually trying to explain to us how it made sense that he has all of a sudden become Dr. Do-Little!! I swear, he thinks he is shaggy and his pooch is scooby. Anyways, thats the latest foolishness at my job sha.


I am currently at work and the IT guys slipped up today cos normally i can not so much as make comments on bloggers but i guess they goofed today, so i decided to use that opportunity to make this random entry. I swear i have more sensible things to talk about, just gimme 10 more days till i turn in all my course work and am done with this blasted BSc. I will drop some genius on you all after that; for now, all my genius is going into Xilinx, Verilog, logicworks, Motorola HC-12 programming, Matlab designs and the American Revolution.

Weird Telemarketing Call

I am jejely doing my project o, very interesting thing like this. I am supposed to design a chip that controls a robot to identify obstructions, avoid them, bla bla bla. Some cool tech shit sha, but i digress.

So i was doing this fun stuff when i get a call from an unknown number. I pick up and its from India.This Indian dude starts by mutilating my name and then goes on a rolling spit about the product he's trying to sell to me. I could tell he was reading that shit right off a script. But i listened to him very quietly and politely. Let him run his rhymes to the end. I am polite like that plus i know he is doing his job. he asks me if i had any questions and i said no. do i have a checking account, i said yes. I already knew where this was going..."we want you to try our crappy product free for 10 days and then if you dont like it cancel; but first give us ur account number so we can have access to your account when you forget to cancel after 10 days, which we know you will. And even if you remember, we will make it so tedious for you to finish it" they wont actually say that red part...thats the fine-print.

I still did not oppose this nice Indian beneficiary of out-sourcing, despite the fact that my day-time minutes were burning. Then he transferred me to another Indian dude who was supposed to confirm the order that i have not yet even consented to...i guess my silence was consent in their script!
Sha, they kept saying we got your info from somewhere, so i asked this new guy, where did you get my info from...the rest of the conversation went like this:

InCog: Where did you guys get my info anyways?

Tmarketer: Our research group finds the info...

InCog: really? i dont like the fact that you guys know my address, phone number, name and i dont even know you. There is no telling what else you know. i dont like this...

Tmarketer: Well, we have your father's name and your social security number too

InCog: What? now that is pushing it...(this bitch cut me off!!!)

Tmarketer: SO can i go ahead and set you up?

InCog: NO!! i dont want it. You have my social security number...(this bitch cut me off again!!!)

Tmarketer: I also have you checking account number and your check card number...CLICK!

I am standing there looking like lucozade...WTF? then after like 20 seconds, i start laffing...these freaking dude must be fucking wif me...lmao!!

and i dont even know the name of the blasted company

Now, these fools got me looking at my account every 10 mins...
