It’s been more than a week since I posted here because honestly… life has been lifeing.
Something happened recently that made me just sit down and think.
So I work remotely for a consulting firm in the UK, which means my life literally depends on internet. Now tell me why all my network providers decided to show me shege at the same time. Three different networks. All of them said “today we are against you.”
Remote workers, you get it.
I was just there sweating, refreshing, restarting, pacing around like my Wi-Fi would suddenly change its mind. Productivity just packed up. At some point I was like “what is actually going on in my life right now?” Anxiety even tried to join the meeting uninvited.
I just slept.
Even my dream sef no make sense.
But when I woke up, something clicked.
One of the networks was actually working on my phone, but my laptop was just acting like it didn’t know me again. I started experimenting like small IT girl (even though I’m not). My CRM app on phone was not showing everything, but when I opened it on Chrome instead of the app… boom, everything started working.
I was just there like… so all this suffering was for what exactly?
Next thing, I found myself working late into the night with my phone and browser setup, just doing what needed to be done.
And that’s when it hit me.
Sometimes we are too stuck in one way of doing things. One routine. One “this is how it must work” mindset. Meanwhile life is just there waiting for us to try something different.
Not everything has to follow the exact pattern we planned. Sometimes you just need to switch things small small and see what happens.
So yeah, I’m learning to be more flexible. Less rigid. More “let’s try this other way and see.”
And to my fellow remote workers… abeg how una dey survive this network matter? Because me I just entered this game and I’m still trying to understand the rules
With love,
