The diary has kicked off again after the few days break. I've not been a constant participants due to many reasons, but I'm always trying to fit in as the case may be, and I've been encouraging my group to keep posting. At least, three apart from me has been active.

Waking up to see the light of the day is a blessing. Whenever I go to bed at night, my mindset is always like "What if you don't wake the next day" , so I always amend my ways and pray for forgiveness before closing my eyes. I do say that sleep is synonymous to death. That has been my mindset from the day I had the orientation

Life is a journey. We walk and work without knowing where the journey would end. I went for an interview a week and half ago, and I was scheduled for another one on monday with the manager which I attended. There were countless people in the struggle from the beginning, but we were scanty for the last interview because many were screened off

Suprisingly, I was called to come and start work yesterday evening. It was a relief. Many things has been going on financially because of the way the economy has affected the country and it has not been easy, especially when there are responsibilities to carry.

I started work today. I'm still undergoing training as I'm new to the application used in the department I am. The application is ORION. It's something like a data entry work. My direct boss is a Nigerian, but I sill have an Indian Boss.

I need to arrange myself for the month, to stay connected on the platform

As a matter of fact, I need to get some things done. That was my thought when I woke today. It has not been easy all this while, but I'm a silent type. I talk less. I got a laptop a month a go, but our electricity has not been helpful. I consume much fueI and solar recharge to stay active. I want to change my bad phone that has been giving me issues for months, and also want to finance my transport to work before my salary comes in 30 days, so it's a big challenge for me.

This leads to my last resort which is powering down to achieve my aim. I want @steemcurator01 and @steemitblog to note this. It's the only thing I can do for now to meet up. I believe things would cover up as soon as this period ends.

My encounter at work

First day at work was somehow. I'm new so the familiarity stuff is till by the corner. I learnt a lot and still looking forward to learn more until I'm perfectly okay with the application.
My boss kept telling me that she doesn't want someone problematic, which I responded to her satisfaction. I'm still under training so all my activities is dependent on her until I'm good to go with ORION.

I ate junk food throughout today which is not a
part of me, but it's okay. I have to start planning myself from home.

While at work, I curated some posts, and dropped comments as well. I returned home after work and settled to write my diary. I also chat with two prospective steemian on whatsapp for the creation of account that failed (their fault though). They are new to something like this.

What else did I do? I transfered steem from my account to @steemafrica-acct and sent to the winner's of the contest I made during the diary break, chat until my phone hanged and switched itself off (Bad battery, full memory and broken screen). Lol. When they brough the light, I continued from where I stopped.

Sleeping late and must wake early to work. Crazy World, or am I the one ...............

Thanks for reading my diary.

I'm a walking question mark. If you keep asking yourself questions about me, you will never find the right answer. Ask me and I will freely give it to you. If you don't, you might be wrong

Thank you for taking part in The Diary Game on Steem.

How much are you planning to powerdown?

If you post a Diary Game entry every day, and do regular Country Representative posts, and maybe run another contest, you would like earn as much from our upvotes as you would from powering down.

If you try that you can avoid powering down.

The main thing is to post regularly every day, and you can get a regular income from the posts.

Thanks for the great consideration. I'm very much glad for your suggestions.

I was planning to power down 600 steem(equivalent to $130) which I believe would help arrange myself for the month considering my commitments already. I ordered a new phone from Jumia with the help of a friend and I've committed myself to pay back bit by bit as I power down, but with your suggestions and support, my plan has changed. I would rather do one week power down to help pay the first commitment and power up for the one week power down as soon as I'm balanced. It would be difficult to stay active without the phone and I won't be able to do all the everyday posting, contests and more with the current one I'm using.

I'm very grateful for the support rendered. It would help me a long way. Thanks a great deal for the consideration.

Hope you manage to get the new phone very soon to be able to post more to earn more.

Remember you can also earn more through commenting on Diary Game posts with the 'OnePercenters".

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃. Congrats on your new job. So happy for you. Thank God you landed it. More wins ahead. Kindly add me as 10% beneficiary of your first salary. I will power it up. Hahahaha
Goodmorning my Madam, hope to read more diaries about how you are coping in the new work environment. @beautychicks

My brother, are you a pastor? Why 10% just like tithe 😀? Im glad I got it at last. I think you surely deserve the 10% because you prophesied that I'm gonna land the job. I will try to keep you updated with the progress via my diary posts and our personal chat too. Thanks sir.

Congrats again @beautychicks. Not just pastors, property agents also deal on 10 percent. We are many that like 10% actually. Hahaha. We will be hoping for promoting in the next 6 months because you are always outstanding. I will keep an eye on your progress.

Hmmm! I'm beginning to suspect you have other runnings. Lol. Thanks sir. I hope I get promoted as prophesied by prophet charles.😀

Wow!! Congratulations on your new job. Atleast you will be able to get a new phone and continue being as helpful as you have always been

Thanks @craxywriter. It's a relief to get a job after staying idle for some time. Thanks for your support

Congratulations on your new job,it's really great to hear this and I am very happy for you. I trust you are going to meet up with your expectations. There is something I have learned from my fee years on this earth, if we trust God completely and rely on him things will always work out more than we had expected. So stay strong and keep calm.😁😁

Thanks my gee. It's important to stand with God and trust in him. That has been my point of existence. I'm grateful and thanks for taking part in the steem africa contest. Remain inspired sir.

Hi @beautychicks
This is @reply2win

Congratulations on your new job.
I am happy to hear it will help you navigate the sea of difficulties, which is modern life during this Pandemic.

I can relate to your technological difficulties, as my side gig business relies on a laptop and internet connection, which sometimes reduces my earnings due to it’s erratic work ethic. But despite these difficulties I pray and give thanks that I am employed and I am building for the future.

I was initially saddened by your mention of sleep being like death and there being no guarantee of another day on earth, as I thought it suggested you were in poor health. It was a relief to read on and realize it was just a metaphor and an expression of both faith and gratitude.

I end now, as rest is needed and I hope you rest well this night also. I will give thanks for the favor that @steemcurator has promised you. Surely it is an answer to your prayers and it will be manifested for you shortly.

In his name, 🙏
@reply2win

Thank you for this lenghty and well thought out reply. Yes, it would help me to stay more active as it has been one of the challenges all this while. I'm also glad I got a job, though job security is not guaranteed especially if it's not a government or federal appointment, however, half bread is better than none. I'm glad you also understood that the sleep and death has a rhetoric effect in the context. I appreciate your input. Best wishes as you come up with @reply2win.
