As I move on. posted on October 31, 2006 - 11:51am

Over the past week I have been runnining up and down while trying to tie loose ends and as such I have hardly been at my desk in the office.Because I havent been near my trusty Dell laptop I have realised somethings about blogging that I had started taking for granted.First aof all I am going to miss my fast connection here at the office. It tried to update twice at variuous cafes in and out of kampala but the Blogger beta and the slow connections made picture uploads impossible that I decided to give up. While blogging here I can take my time. I dont have to worry about the seconds ticking away.Signing in and moving about is a lot easier with the laptop because of all that cookie business and the small tools, widgets, plug-ins, extensions I have added to my browser of a period of time.I have become so used to using Firefox and/or Opera that Internet explorer is like a new thing whenever I try it out.

... FESTIVAL of Hope crowned it all up with Pastor Brian Houston of Hillsong Church Australia preachin. I love his sense of humour. Now, his preaching came from 2 Samuel 9; the story of David and Mephibosheth. He likened this meeting to how God welcomes us, when we have nothing on our own, lame, low self esteemed, from Lo-debar( not High-debar-lol), how He does not look at our weaknesses but welcomes as us sons and daughters, and fills our life with His benefits at the table. We bring nothing to the table, He brings security, providence, promotion, confidence, abundance etc because He loves us. Friends, he mentioned one thing which caught the attention of my heart. When Jesus Christ was dying He for the first time called the one He had always called Father, GOD. Why? So that now we who were relating so far from Him by calling Him God could call Him Father. Hebrews 4:14-16 says Our Compassionate High Priest

am recovering from a Spirit outpouring week. Wo, not even recovering. Friends, i truly love you. okay. so on Wednesday was supposed to be there for the opening of the Watoto Conference at KPC. So being the BASIC that we are (I did not move alone) we left hoping to be there before 5 thinking it would be all good... Hoo!! Man when we came we had to join a long line and then wait for like 1 hour and 30 minutes. Good enough we have the Holy Spirit inside of us and He has enabled us to be patient. So we waited. Now as we were waiting our first choice was to be in the balcony but as it was, the people were so many we along with many others were turned away to the Overflow! So nga we enter and yeah we find the projector screens showing blue, signs of receiving live feed. We were hopeful coz the sound was on. So nga we hear the Watoto kids coming on and we think that the projector screens are about to come on!

I haven’t been that regular with my posts for the last month or so because I have had a lot on my plate.A series of slip-ups and major bust-ups with the immediate boss, who wont accept that some of the slip-ups were caused by his failure to fully grasp what the assignments from above required, over the last 10 months have led to a situation where the office has been a truly nasty place for yours truly for the last few weeks.After thinking long and hard, with the help of some intelligence gathered through my mole in the higher echelons of this organisation, I made the very difficult decision to tender my resignation letter and give in my notice.After 3 weeks of pushing and shoving it was inevitably going to come down to a choice of who should leave, the boss or me. I realised that was one decision that was more than likely not going to favour my black ass so I made the pre-emptive move. This way I wont have a record of ever being fired.

Lady pays the bills posted on October 11, 2006 - 11:59am

A discussion with friends about whether or not it was OK for guys to let a woman pay the bills while on a date got me thinking of an embarrassing situation I found myself in sometime back.I had just joined a certain international organisation, my boss of two months had been posted elsewhere and this young lady had just been posted to Kampala. She was my boss temporarily while a permanent replacement for my former boss was hired.Since we were all new at the job (and her even the country) we soon became close. She was one year older than me but a lot younger than many of the other expatriates at work. I soon became her consultant on everything about Kampala and Uganda.

I had taken a hiatus from blogging. It was not because I wanted to but a combination of personal and work related issues conspired against me making a timely post to the “As you asked” Part Deux.As I was compiling that (last in the series post) something struck me, which has left me somewhat, discomfited. This might appear trivial to some of you, but allow me explain my case.For most of my life I have had one debilitating condition-I have been incapable of telling a lie and getting away with it. For some reason everybody (excepting maybe toddlers) has been able to see through my lies, embellishments, truth embroidery..etc. Because of this I have become by default a (depending on how you look at it):1) Trustworthy person
