Right here?!', i thought. 'It rained this morning, its drizzling, i'm freezing, i have only a shirt on, you want me to sit here on a wooden bench with you!' Haha, funny. What the hell is the reception inside for?

I convince them that I'd just like to drop off my documents. At the reception I ask for Mr. Musyoka, the human resources boss, and the receptionist says he's in.

'Have a seat and wait.'

All this time, the stupid idiot did not want to see! See, last year he had told me that once I had graduated from college I should come back and check with him on a job. Perhaps I should have made an appointment then. Every few minutes, the receptionist would call him reminding him that I was waiting to see him. Eventually, he asked for me, not into his office, but on the phone.

'Hallo'

'Hallo, my name is Wyndago...'

'Yes?'

'..and I was here on attachment last year and...'

'SO?'

That 'SO?' just threw me off. I had to rearrange my thoughts.

'You told me I could come back so i...'

'I told you to come?'

'NO! ...I mean yes. No, you told me last year.'

Pointless.

He was nice enough to send me down to a lady who told me that there were no vacancies. Not until "maybe January."

So I am now looking at other alternatives.

This job seeking business is just something. That was just my first attempt and it was enough to make me want to do my own thing! Actually, no... I've always wanted to do 'my thing' ever since forever, today's incident just rekindled the feeling. But can one do his thing being fresh out of college? YES. I mean, it's possible, isn't it? No room for negative thoughts.

Anyway, before I settle down to doing whatever it is I will end up doing I am open to working anywhere. Even volunteer work, perhaps I should start by helping to plant trees in the Mau. My aim is to gain experience in whatever field, and in interaction, handling and working with different people. Yes, I said whatever field. You can't believe how fast I can learn and perfect a skill. I am mostly interested in working with small businesses and start ups. Do you have a small business? Call me. E-mail me: shadywane(at)gmail(dot)com.

What are my skills, you ask. I can write. I love it, to write that is. Computers, I am fond of these machines. I can network a set of computers and amazing things with them. I am currently learning how to use CAD (Computer Aided Design). I can sing, everyone says I should have been on Tusker Project Fame and that both Alpha and Ng'ang'alito have nothing on me. If you have children, you can hire me to rock them to sleep. I can even rock you to sleep. I also know a lot about motors. They are tremendous machines and are applicable in almost every other machine system. 

I could go on and on, but I'll close this chapter by saying, I am also a good cook. A brother has skills.
