My first Ulog - Diary of a Lagos Intern
June 12 was like every other day, only that it was the start of my compulsory student work experience at a Firm on the Mainland, Maryland to be precise.
The journey actually started when my alarm rang Yesterday 11th of June at 6:00am. but i turned it off.. I was like "let me sleep for a while o" I woke up and boom! 6:35am 😲 I mustered all the gut to have a cold bath 😐..
Thank God i had ironed my outfit for the day the previous night because the employment letter clearly stated i resume 8am and close 5pm and i won't want anything to make me get late to work.
To beat the Lagos traffic most people leave home by 5am, but Thank God I'm "off traffic" 😁 I left the house 7:05am got to the bus stop 7:12am and different buses all passed while shouting their normal chants.. then i saw a bus going towards my destination, I got on the bus, it was a smooth ride because the bus didn't really have to stop much to pick /drop passengers. I got to Ikeja bus stop 7:49, from the bus stop to my office is like 5minutes walk... So i walked to the office, I got there 7:54am (proud of myself😊😊). But eyyyy the structure was looking obsolete and not attractive 🙆♀️ (I sha consoled myself that the interior was going to be better). To my utmost surprise, I was the first to resume.. I waited for almost 45minutes before someone came and opened the office for me to enter.. My God!! I was already disliking the firm (from one ugly looking and dead building to Incompetent workers that do not keep to time🤦♀️)
Exterior ❌
Interior ❌❌ (Office was looking like a public secondary school staff room) wish i could take pictures of it.
.
I entered and a guy showed me my work space.. I said to myself Bukola, this is not your office I was told to sit and wait for the manager, 12pm still waiting for the manager, 2pm still waiting for the manager, 4pm manager never show.. when it was 4:30pm I packed my bag and I left the office..
On my way home i started making calls and checking online for another firm that's still taking interns.. Luckily for me i got one and i was told to resume today 12th of June..
Y'all should pls Check back tomorrow to know what happened at the new Firm
That's my Ulog for today
Lol.. Wow.. Pretty nice day you had
Eeya.. That was disappointing I bet..
I'm so seriously hunting for an IT place myself..
And I'm so desperate Mehhnn..
