Ode To Me

It's been a rough week.  Work was manic, and I was knocked sideways by a bout of flu AND malaria.  I mean, who does that? Me, evidently.

Much as I was able to get a day off work, I had been contracted to MC at an awards ceremony.  I had contacted the organisers and told them I was seriously under the weather and sounded like I had swallowed a family of frogs, but they simply prayed for my quick recovery and said they'd see me on Friday.  Thankfully, I managed to get my voice to sound vaguely decent, threw on my 5 inch heels and did my thing.

I got home last night, exhausted and dreading the prospect of waking up at 4am for my show this morning, but feeling rather proud of myself for making it through the night.  For some unknown reason, I had 'Like A Virgin' by Madonna stuck in my head.  And decided to put together some lyrics of my own... A little Ode To Me, as it were.

♪♫ I made it through the MC gig
Somehow I made it through
Didn't cough or sneeze or puke
Or run to the loo
I was neat
(Heels were sweet!)
I felt fine
After a glass of wine
And my co-MC
Didn't seeeeeem to mind
Being shorter than meeeeee...♪♫

Ok, that's as far as I got.  Maybe after I've had some decent sleep I'll come up with a chorus...

RIP Rosemary

I never met Rosemary Nankabirwa. But I feel so sad at her passing. I feel sad that she succumbed to a disease we are still trying to beat. I feel sad that whoever took the time to announce her death on Twitter couldn't take the time to spell check. I'll put it down to grief. I feel sad that people tried to gain cheap popularity off of her illness. I hope she knew how many people turned out, in their own small way, to help. I hope she knew she was respected and admired. I hope God hears our prayers for her and for her family. I hope. When you lose someone, the world falls out from under your feet. I hope her family is given the time and space they need to grieve and remember her, away from the media, away from those who want to use this to their own advantage. I hope we all learn more about this terrible disease. I hope our government does more to make treatment available for all, regardless of social status. I hope. Rest, Rosemary. You fought your fight.

Untitled (or, my experience in a toxic work environment.)

I’ve been feeling guilty for the longest time that I haven’t posted on my blog for AGES: I even started questioning whether I could legitimately call it a blog anymore, considering how long it had been since I was inspired to write anything worth sharing. But I woke up yesterday and came across an article detailing a toxic work environment and when I tell you I was TRIGGERED. I know that word is used so often these days, but some of the instances described in that article catapulted me back to a situation I found myself in, that I haven’t felt able to speak about publicly. Until now. I consider myself extremely blessed to have worked in different positions where I was able to pursue my passions and dedicate my talents, all the while working with incredible people and learning from the best in the business. I was transferred from a job I loved, and thought I was performing well at (if my performance reviews were anything to go by, anyway). I didn’t understand why I was being mov

Stay Out of My Womb, Stay Out of My Business.

Something happened on air this morning that totally threw me off. We were discussing whether or not a parent should compensate a babysitter, or even a friend, if their child breaks something of theirs.  Like a phone, or laptop.  My stance is, if my child broke something belonging to someone I had asked to look after them, I would feel compelled to refund them or at least contribute towards the cost of getting a replacement. Big mistake, so it would seem. A female listener called the show.  Sternly, she asked me if I have any children, to which of course I answered in the negative.  She went on to say that the only reason I had that opinion is the fact that I do not have a child, as no mother would ask another mother to pay for something broken by a child.  (Please note, she ignored the fact that I said I would feel compelled to refund if my child had broken something belonging to someone else.  I didn’t say that I would demand money from someone if their child broke so
