POS NETWORK SAGA



Merry Monday..

Here's a little gist from my day; 

On my way to work, I had to stopby a Pos Stand, and withdraw my transportation fare. I was in hurry given that a bike was waiting for me, and the rule is; the more of their time you waste, the higher the price you pay them. 

Anyways, the Pos just won't work. The transaction kept failing time, and time again. It wasn't even showing any error message just "Transaction failed". After trying for what felt like a million times, at this point I was just frustrated, I decided to connect my phone hotspot to the Pos instead to know if the problem was network.

Immediately I connected my hotspot, boom! the transaction went through. I was so relieved and so infuriated at the same time. Infuriated that I had to go through all that when I could've easily connected my hotspot right from the jumpstart. 

And it made me think of all the times where the answers to our plagues are looking straight at us, yet we can't seem to see it. Trust me, it can be annoying.

Dearest reader, after calming down I realized that, omor, true true life nuh suppose hard. If something isn't working as it should, it must mean it has been altered, or not in phase. And rather than get all worked up about things, we should ask ourselves why it isn't working. 

The answer could be minute, and staring back at you sef!

Anyways, how did your Monday go?
Ever experienced a scenario where the answer/solution to what seems like a mountainous problem is something simple, that you didn't just realize?

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
