Believe me when i tell you this, you haven't missed much. I left
Nairobi, company I was working for had started to get unfriendly working
relations, and I was bored to do the same thing over and over again.
Fortunately, I got a job in a hotel in Malindi.
Malindi, for those who do not know is a coastal town in Kenya, North coast. It's relatively buzzful and highly dominated by Italians and Germans. Do I like it here, yes, is it any different than Nairobi, Nope.
Last time I wrote about office gossip, now am experiencing one. Here's why. People here do not have confidence in themselves. They kiss arse for a living and will do literally anything they are asked to do. if they are asked to jump, they ask how high. To some that's optimism to me its plain dump. another interesting fact, they do not believe much in books here. It's all about inheritance and easy pay but no books. If you're educated, you can really go far as long as you do not get into their habit of kissing arse. That's desperate.
Am a social being, like every other man, at my new place of work, I met this handsome young man called Ben, not his real name. Now Ben and I got really close really fast. We like the same music, comedy, drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic, he has the cutest little girl as his daughter and all was cool. Now, remember the point of working with uneducated folks, this is where it gets interesting.
My other colleagues started spreading rumors that we were a couple. Reason, we spent time together. I did not justify not deny them I let them talk. It soon became that we were going out to clubs and dancing and getting really cosy. Is it true? Partly, we did go out to dance once or twice but cosy I don't know. Again, I never paid much attention to it.
In the midst of all these gossip, another tall dark and handsome gent joined the team. I had the biggest crush on him. Let's name him Allan. Allan is mature, much older than I am and seemed more outgoing and with stories. I did not say anything to anyone about my crush for the first two weeks but it got worse. I could literally not look at him without blushing. So I told one lady at our front office about it. Story continues, my boss and I have one thing in common, we love booze, and house music. to me they are one and the same thing, can't listen to house music without booze or booze without house music.
These gossipers decided to turn the gossip up a notch. It turns out that am dating three guys in the office. Ben Allan and the boss. the fun part is, Ben and the boss are friends and they know about it and are cool with it. I as usual ignored it. It went from dating to sleeping with all three. Now, I don't know about you, but dear Lord, how much energy do they think I have? What made me take notice was when the boss came to me to confide in me and tell me about the rumors. I laughed at it which did offend him a little but explained and told him that I knew about them all along but chose to ignore them. he was not very impressed by it as he started making "threats" about the job security, either I or Ben will be fired. To me that plain non sense, Ben and I have told him that nothing is going on, now they want me to stop hanging out with the only two cool guys in the entire hotel because of some gossipers! Bitch please!
I told him that won't work as any other person I hang out with will be another gossip story, so let them talk. They did, story reached as far as the head of the hotel, again, let them talk...I feel like a celerity up in here.
Yup moral of the story is that am working with morons and a mix of very intelligent minds.
