Light Hearted

Sometimes you just wake up in a good mood for no apparent reason. This morning was one of those mornings. Yesterday was no special revelation. Last night was just chilled and relaxing. I didn’t have an extra comfortable sleep. I must have some really good dreams and without even knowing, “got it all this morning“.

There has been this song bombing around in my head for some time now and I feel it’s time to let it go, or at least pass it onto you! It’s nothing but cheesy good fun.

 (harmless beebop)

We all know the words, come on sing along: “I said hip, hop, a hip, a hippy to the hippy, they say that you know that you’re my hubby wanna boogy woogy woogy to the beat”.

Now without getting too graphic, I got out the shower this morning, dried myself and went to make my way through my room to get dressed. Problem. An obstacle. My fan. I had placed it next to my desk which doesn’t leave much room to walk through easily. It’s a squeeze at the best of times. So naturally the first thing I thought (and I wouldn’t be male if I didn’t) was: “Oh my God, I don’t want to get “my guy” struck by those blades doing a million RPM”. So while concentrating heavily on getting past this potential life hazard, I put my hand on the fan to push it back to make space and make it easy to walk past safely, intact! Just as I did that though my finger slipped through the safety grill that covers the fan and my finger went into the blade.

Evil fan

*&$#@#&!$&£!!!!! You know that sensation of being really really pissed at yourself for being so damn stupid but at the same time really really relieved and extremely happy that you did in fact use a bit of foresight and common sense with the knowledge that it could have been a HELL of a lot worse?? I cringe just rethinking it. Fortunately my finger is way stronger than other more sensitive parts.

Hang on now. I have just realised how stupid I was. My finger is also way smaller. There is NO WAY that “my guy” would EVER have been able to fit through the cage. 8) Perhaps foresight and common sense aren’t always that useful. I really should just move the fan :-(

Please excuse me, I have career decisions to make today. And in such a good mood! Sweet!

All my financial issues over

And I thought the next 10 years of my life were going to be a struggle. I came into work to find this. I knew you would be very happy for me too so I felt it’s only right that I share with you the good news.

Here is the letter I received:

RE : Late Engr.John Ferguson Will

Dear beneficiary

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Engr.John Ferguson; I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address stated on the WILL.

I wish to notify you that late Engr.John Ferguson made you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Seven Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD$7,100.000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL. Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Engr.John Ferguson until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to be involved in charitable projects. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.

Late Engr.John Ferguson died on the 13th day of December, 2004 at the age of 80 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him this money is to support your humanitarian activities and to help the poor and the needy in our society. Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavour to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job.

I hope to hear from you in no distant time.

Yours in Service,

BARRISTER CHRISTOPHER MOTLEY ESQ. (Head of Chambers.)

Contact Me now PRINCIPAL PARTNERS: Barrister Aidan Walsh.Esq Markus Wolfgang, Mr. John Marvey Esq, Mr. Jerry Smith Esq

So all that’s left for me to do now is write my resignation letter and book my ticket to Nigeria to collect.

I’m so excited!! Wish me well. It’s time for me to start my new life.
