Too much self confidence is bad


Eh eh but getting a job is tough anyway. Recently I was going through my old sent items but what I found was alarming. The only thing I ever used my emails for was applying for jobs. And right there I could see about 1000 sent items. And then I blinked one eye hoping the numbers would also shy away and reduce but hafazali.

It should also be noted that I have four (4) e-mail addresses. The first two had kiddish names so I figured - really, as a psychology graduate- that the indisputable reason I wasn't getting any feedback was because my email addresses were playful. I went ahead and created two other new mails that incorporated both my real names and seemed more mature. And then I started using those to apply and believe me priz.

I never got that call. E-mail names had nothing to do with it.


Well....

Until last month

So anyhow last month, like karma would have it, there were like three top companies flooding to hire me for my services. And guess what! I went for interviews, slaying like those hot mama's who post their slay selfies on Mama Tendo ...and I mean the slay ones not the wannabe slayers that make you feel guilty for your data you even start apologizing to it..

It felt like a conspiracy how 3 companies can all want you at once yet you had applied several times to their organisations and no reply ever.

But the feeling was priceless. I even quit my job. And then filled with feelings of revenge for all the years I have suffered, I turned down all the offers. 

YAP


I said, "Nah; double the salary and I might be interested. Call me"
I Can Take on all the World

Guys, when you reach at this level of confidence, you feel like you can take on the whole world.

Abange, up to now am still waiting for the call and it's dawned on me that it's never coming.

.....as if death do me and unemployment apart! 

As I type this on my phone, I am facing the mirror and acting out how am going to go back to my former workplace tomorrow and cry for my job and even plead for them to cut sala by ka 50k just to have me back.

The one reason I would like to be a celeb.

I would like to be a celeb because you get to know all the relatives you have never known, even the children of the uncle to the mother of your mothers’ sister. You do not only get to know them, but also a closeness develops and is followed by invitations to family parties, friends bashes and reunions that before, you didn’t have a chance to attend. That’s the power of being a celeb. I know I have many relatives; everyone does, only that I have not got the chance to know them and a part of me longs for that. In school, I was almost the only kid without a cousin to talk about. Having a cousin in the same school was like the most powerful thing. Those who had would talk about them until you felt like a capsule was stuck on your throat! It was so powerful even, witnessing cues that suggested your parent knew one of your friends’ parents. Like the day I saw my dad talk to one of my teachers, he later told me they were OBs. How I wished he had a kid in school maybe we would pose ...

My Easter Gift.

Image
The only Gift I prayed for during Easter period was walking through town and not have any arrogant idler of a male specie whispering, ‘ size yange’ . (I considered that a gift because, well, I never expected any physical gifts and I loathe that line like I do the ugly geckos that like hanging on walls). Never the less, that might have been too much to ask for. It was the first thing I heard a few seconds after I got out of the taxi. (It was Good Friday.) Something like this in blue ...Gift to the self mwaah I decided I would then go to equatorial mall on Kampala road and buy myself a gift to cover up for the disappointment. I was admiring items through the glass windows when I saw ostensibly beautiful bags. I walked into the boutique with little or no confidence that I would afford any.  The attendant came in. Me: Hi, ee…eer, I just wanted to have a look at your bags. Her: It’s okay, which one do u like. I hadn’t really liked any, yet. Then I saw a light bl...

What it's like dating a Mukiga man/

Image
See, since time immemorial, across the globe, ladies have always dreamed of dating a romantic man. Of course romanticism varies and most girls will have a list of what denotes this romanticism. But right now focusing on Bakiga men, the concern will be on verbal romanticism. Bakiga inhibit their emotions so much and since they have high self esteem they assume that everything is obvious. First of all. You will never hear a Mukiga man asking you to date him or be his girlfriend. The closest to that he will say is that he likes you. That's the first and last romantic thing you will ever hear. And needless to say, they can be really charming so you will find yourself spending more time with him and months go by without you having an idea whether you are his girlfriend or not. For him, in his mind, you are his and he assumes you know it. He will not feed you with any 'nonsensical' things you might want to hear simanyi 'I will love you till lake Bunyonyi dries...
