Job hunting

It was Friday. I had been given a week to find a suitable job.

I had started my job hunting on Monday and today was Friday, but I still hadn't gotten anything reasonable to do.

I was freaking tired and felt hopeless.

I had walked from place to place, trying to get the job of a waitress, a sales girl, a caregiver or a clerk.

Amsey had assisted me in writing series of application letters but I didn't have a certificate to prove that I attended and completed secondary school, which was a necessity to get a job.

Amsey had asked for my secondary school certificate and I had simply responded: "You remember my house got burnt? All I had got burnt along with it."

What was I to do now?

By the way, people were so rude in Lagos and always in a hurry.

You will ask for directions and they'll just mumble something inaudible to you and go about their work, some will even ignore you.

No one had time to help someone else in Lago
