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
