i'd like to divert my thots to lighter topics, i find it hard to do all dis emotional things, so i'm back to where i started from-my office.
funny, its been two months already. wow!time does fly indeed!!!! ok.....wats the point in being an intern if u dont do some outta-office runs as per goin to court n all dat .
infact im jus back from da state high court n as usual....court didnt sit.....ooooooo!dis people r makin me dislike litigation particularly d way its done here in nija what with all the adjournments......
anyhow, the good thing about these trips is dat u get to know d lawyer better. better in d sense dat u guys r at closer quarters, sitting in d same car n in d same traffic n then i go, wat do u think about bla bla.....n then u hear all sorts....right now, i'd like to think of myself as a custodian of the office peeps best kept secrets....
men i've been hearing all : from lawyer M loves to beat his wife( yet he's a cathechist) and worst still he was trying to get Lawyer D to screw him with a promise of a trip to S.A(no naira in his pocket o!), and then worst still lawyer M is meant to be the deputy head of chambers, apparently, hes got nothing in his tiny brain.....i've been hearing about all his court blunders n it would intrigue those of u who know wat im talkin about to know that lawyer M could not even move a motion in court....sad!
now to lawyer T(Mr.Pedigree, his daddy was a one time judge who was trained in all da ivy league skools in jand so we wont drink water for him n he himself was in jand for 5 years....get da drift) anyways Lawyer T'Ss car is a write-off as we speak. he apparently was comin home from a friday nite out with da boys n then accordin to him, his brakes failed.yeah rite! i heard another version from lawyer Z, he was tryin to avoid an old lady n in so doin, his car lost control....u see wat drink does.....halucination in the first order! which kain old woman???? excessive alcohol.........anyways...thank the good lord, he got out unscathed.....meanwhile the car is doin time with LASTMA and lawyer T is attending to some family summons in the east....the demurrage that car would have accumulated.....but as he says, his big boy car is comin from america by the end of the mth.... anyhowys we go wash am!!!! reckless living, aint it?
to our liar liar uncle and lawyer, lawyer I who is 40 goin on 25, get my drift?????lawyer I is on leave, but still shows up from time to time. guess his trying to wrap up some deals....hustler like him....anyways, on d day he shows up, im da only one in d office, cos dis is leave period n d rest r in court. he says i should follow him to place Exotica for lunch n well i didn't hv a choice(u know me now!).we get to place exotica n d owner's dere n they begin a yeye chit-chat.mr owner is giving me d eye n im sure in his rotten mind he's thinkin,'kai, lawyer I don hammer' 'who's dis smallie?"(dis is how dey talk mind u), then they begin a yeye conversation about why women cheat n throw the question to my humble self.... see all dis old men o... so i tell them that myriad of factors could b responsible: lack of affection, power or position seeking, outright promiscuity....bla bla bla.... in my brain im thinkin 'where's the freakin food"???? then Mr owner asks Lawyer I where he'd be spending his vacation (from all indications, Lawyer I is amongst otha things, PartnerB's pimp n he lives off women...so where in d world would he get money for vacation travel now?).Lawyer I replies dat he's goin to jand of course n then would probably end up at his fave travel destination, Kuala Lumpur(who dash?)i almost choked....kuala what? maybe he jus read about it sha....luckily food came n that was then end of a session of useless talk....
then my newest pally, Lawyer Z,he's one of d office's youngest n hes married! suprised(well he had to cos chick got pregnant, ha daddy is a bidg rtd general, his daddy is a bank chairman, so.......well he jus had to marry, he couldnt 'open eye' and deny).they married 4mths ago n chick has traveled to give birth already.yeah...lawyer Z is a nice dude, but seems very standoffish n unapproachable on sight....anyways Lawyer Z was trying his best to invite me out. there r regular friday trips which Partner B organizes. his entourage usually consists of his fateful servant, lawyer I and the newest additions Lawyers T & Z. Partner B cant go out wiv anyhow peeps now...anyways lawyer Z was tryin to convince me to pieces on the need for comin out on friday n i was like, for wat now???me i cant do those things their girls do now, so they should rest cos im most def not cut out for hobnobing with yeye older married guys who think they can hv fun with gals 10-15 yrs younger cos of the naira in their pockets....
ok....i think ill sign off now..............hope the office still remains intrestin(u bet it would!)
