A clue on what happens on Friday"Its Friday"-By Essy

   

        

 Its Friday, 

  I know you know .There is this excitement that everyone has when Friday knocks ,we feel liberated and ecstatic like a woman who has just given birth to a bouncing baby boy after a long wait of nine months. Some extend the trepidation you might think they have broken the 100m world record hold by Bolt the man who is faster than bullet as they say.

 Everybody in social media goes like TGIF and always trending every Friday in Twirra as they call it. At times am left wondering if the Kenyans on twitter meet every Friday after work to altercate the #TGIF while having beer probably at Galilleo club in Westland, as most of the comments indicate so. Apparently it #KOT who understand the initials of TGIF,go to facebook and update it as a status and everyone will be like from which planet is this coming from, what does the initials mean. Don’t desdain me if you are in both Fb and Twirra,I know you know, but the majority of who are on Fb are not on Twitter because it’s difficult for them to operate, they need to attend one of those Friday meetings the KOT have for them to grasp what really happens on twirra.

 Fridays in Nairobi is when you will convene each and every missus in contrasting colors the world has to offer. In the morning hours masses bustle along the streets of cbd to their destination either work or school, and the allegedly ones who go and sit at the Uhuru park, Hilton and jivangee garden. My rebuttal to such crowd is sympathy as I have never understood why you wake up in the morning to go sit or sleep at the mentioned venue. My mind at times wrap up as majority of theses populations are the pickpockets and the conmen/women.  I recall one day along the Mfangano Street I met this lady who the devil of conman had invited her for breakfast in one of the local hotel along Moi Avenue. The lady was in pursuit of a husband and was willing to do anything even go to the supermarket to pay for one if sold.Alas!This is a story for another day as it will divert as from Friday in Nairobi .

Anyhow,

On Fridays you will never fail noting how dazzling the masses are especially the missus. What makes Friday alluring and curious is the big bags carried by a lump sum of ladies whom majority being the working class. You might think they donate some unknown stuff whose only the carrier knows about to one Mr. Friday who live somewhere along the streets of CBD probably near view pack towers. The bags at times tell of the agony they undergo come Friday, squeezed to fit the whole world in it. If handbags could talk and have someone like Atwoli to defend them, Missus would be paying them monthly wages for over packing them. Dr.Matsanga on the other hand would say the ladies carrying these huge bags are homeless like Koffi Anan as they wander with their furniture’s and attires in the handbag, which they perfectly fit. At times am left awestruck if to pity the bag for being overloaded or the carrier. Whom do you pity here?

Nevertheless, Fridays in the offices workers are very slow and unproductive. I bet many of you will comply with me that minds are already switched to feel free weekend. We have gone to acknowledge Friday as a weekend,Maina Kageni ascertain to this during his morning show. On the other hand we are we are most energetic to social media as we relax and start going through what’s been trending in the so many blogs we have. One thing with the blogs it’s so tempting for you to evade opening the link which keeps on popping up in either your facebook and twitter wall as a link. The topic and the picture tagged along the link is so juicy for one to bypass. I normally open and read and I share it on my wall to let others who are Friday gossip seeker like me to also have a chance to read the trending topic if they have not done so. Basically most of the day is spent being on “the know” using the social media. It begets a question in my mind how people in the past generation survived in the offices on Fridays without the social media. I don’t envy them, I truly don’t as I find it miserable since they dint share with the world what they felt, Even if someone attacked them verbally using live channels they would not retaliate .TD Jake can admit how he had to apologize publicly due to the social media especially twitter recouping against him. This ken is beyond any man regardless of power posses. Never underestimate the power of social media. Anyway this is Friday in the office.

The long awaited moment, evening approaches and people leave the offices in style, some ladies are picked up and others find their way to the destination.The party Begins.
