Settling In...

I am sorry ooohhh!!!

I know I have an obligation to all my readers to keep you all updated on goings and comings on the ground as they happen. (By the way, I'm really learning to love Nigerian English where you treat English as if it is a ball of pounded yam to be yanked and moulded not by the hand but by the mouth). Anyway, sorry for not writing anything since Friday (imagine!).

I think what is happening is that I am settling in (shock horror)! In only three weeks and counting I am morphing slowly into a son of the shoil. I am starting to talk in a more rugged tone, stopping the use of please and thank you, pushing my way into the lift before ladies (no, only joking, I haven't yet totally morphed) and grunting at the driver to get a move on. Terrible. Where are my English manners?

Alongside this, my honeymoon period at work is shortly due to end. Not yet, but I can see it coming back from the future. We are a bank. We generate money. Generate money or else, your big Oyibo salary will be called into question!!! Under such pressures, writing blogs pales into less significance (not insignificance, of course not). One is having to prove oneself, learn about the job and learn all kinds of new ways of doing things all at the same time. Meaning that I'm in at 7.15am, out at 7.15pm, having lunch while at my desk reading more stuff and doing further reading from 9-11pm. I have to turn myself into a money making machine, pronto!

But, my consolation is that I'M LOVIN IT
