CHILVARY...

Today was one of those days that make you wish you'd stayed in bed... It was a hell of a day... Woke up a little late even though i had a meeting of the Beaded jewellery Designers Association Of Nigeria at 10am... Had to manage my car with its leaky exhaust to Ilupeju for the meeting but couldn't find petrol to buy. So, here i was driving with one eye on the meter and one on the road. Ended up in a queue at Maryland sweating(cos i have no AC in my car) profusely and wishing i had another option when a Nissan Sunny worse than mine joined the queue beside me. Asshole kept trying to me while i kept trying to ignore him... The guy just didn't get the message... I didn't even feel like making a call or texting because of the heat and my irritation... (i'm known to snap at people whenever i find myself in a situation like that). Finally he screamed something about being proud of me for joining a queue to buy petrol myself because women never do it. That is just bullshit. I know women who get on the damn queue to buy petrol... It's called being single and independent...
This got me think men and the way they treat women like we're delicate and would break if allowed to do stuff by ourselves... Yes, it's nice to have polite and kind behaviour from men once in a while but too much of it grates on one's nerves... We can drive ourselves, get in a queue to buy petrol, change our tires, screw on stuff in the bathroom with a drill and handle a hammer, thanks very much... Sometimes it's sweet to have a man offer but when you offer because you assume that i'll hit my hand instead of the nail, it really pisses me off. I know many a women who drive better than men and do other things i can't even begin to name better than a man ever would. Imagine one of my association members (who's female) told me that i could break an egg into the exhaust and that would seal it temporarily... Then, take the case of Button who've never changed a tyre even though i have changed my own tyre a few times... There you go...
So, got my hair done today. I intend to look fly when i go to Newscafe with my friend for drinks tomorrow (she leaves on wednesday) and i do... The hair is fabolous... Pat really outdid herself today. Never mind that i had to wait 2hrs and sat for another 2hrs to get it done, the end result is what's important. Maybe we'll see a movie too... Though, i'm not so sure. You never know when you'll meet someone and i'd really like to meet someone new and interesting...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
