By now you are certain that where I come from we have no elevators..And the only lift experience I had before two weeks ago was watching the whole thing on movies. Truth be told I was excited about the whole lift business..and even had some P.K pellets just incase things would go like in the adverts.Not a soul had enlightened me on how to behave while in this tiny mobile room..and the world was going to teach me a lesson the hard way.
Instructions to my new work place indicated the office was on 8th floor and I was to report at exactly 8.00am.Thanks to traffic hustles and the shock of tall buildings all over I got to the building at about 2 minutes to 8.00am. My intelligent calculations let me know it was going to be impossible to go up 8 floors in two minutes, I hurriedly rushed into a lift whose door was open..I barely knew there is a maximum number of people that can be accommodated, I was squeezing my bulky self left right and centre trying to fit in. In a second the 1st floor crew was struggling to get out, afraid that I might be left..I maintained my position firmly and one violent and unfriendly Kenyan pushed me out cursing angrily.
I almost fell off, and my shiny mitumba heels did me no justice either .One fell off while I was coming back in, and as hell would have it best..the doors closed and I now had one shoe. I decided I was going to let all this unfriendly monkeys leave then go back and pick it up..We got to 8th floor soon enough and everyone was out.
I was left in the worthy company of full length shiny mirrors..Time to get ready and look fabulous,trying to fix bra straps..apply Vaseline on my lips and some saliva to make my eyelashes ‘sleep’.I missed 1st floor and the door flew wide open at ground floor while I was adjusting my skirt..I almost fainted,you know this Nairobi people have this weird way of looking at shagzmundus,I quickly dashed out and took the stairs to 1st floor.
My shoe was not there I had to limp around looking for the floor cleaners and when I found them,one was already trying it out. I grabbed it and dashed to the stairs, this time determined to go up all of them in a super speed. I got to the office panting heavily and shocked everyone who had been anxious to see the new face.
