Wazungu do have serious office politics that you don’t want to mess with . You need to align yourself with the right political team to succeed once you go up otherwise utamalizwa. I have no time for that shit. I’m an African who loves his cocoon. I finish work I go do fishing .

Exactly . These guys wanakuchimba yet they laugh with you like nothing is happening and their culture teaches them to feel no remorse about it …

I wasn’t interested in applying for a senior most Job in my research facility . Deadline was on Monday. So I was relaxing that afternoon doing some fishing in some local lakes. (Here, we catch fish using a fishing rod, feel it and let it go on water).

Then my phone rang , looking at it I saw it was the director. So why could he be calling me on Sunday ? I wondered.Then he retorted back " Bottoms why didn’t you apply for that job? We have a lot of external people applying but you are letting go? I need your application by tomorrow!! "

So that night I burnt oil doing resume and was happy do send it . I went for interview and finally I got the job . But… have you ever gotten a senior Job that instead of being happy you become depressed and sad ?

I started drinking more and more wine before I sleep, something that I had stopped after my completion of my divorce …

So I went to talk to this sweet islander lady who happened to be my “chips funga “about not having peace since I got this new job a week ago. She said something that I won’t forget :” Listen to your heart !!” 7 days later, I listened to my heart and went and told the director I can’t do it… !! You should see the shock on his face …

To cut story short ,I slept peacefully last week Friday and stopped drinking. Getting promotion at work place doesn’t guarantee happiness . It’s good to have something little that gives you happiness than something big that makes you miserable.

Ni hayo tu…

You shouldn’t give up so fast. Seek the help of a professional coach and see how that goes.

Wacha ni_book hii space nitachangia baadae. Btw, I am not certain @Bottoms speaks swahili so I will contribute in the queen’s language.

I do talk swahili. Why discrimination
