I have an unseen agent. An unseen agent walks with me. He figures out sometimes what I cannot figure out. Unlike human agent, he doesn't charge me any amount of money to fulfill my tasks. He doesn't go on vacation when he feels like. He doesn't demand for salary increment because of the present economic instability and inflation.
Those where my conclusion, belief after what I experienced today. I might have had to sack a human agent if one was present and such a situation occurred. Well, it didn't happen, so I need to celebrate my unseen agent for doing such a great job. what would you have thought if it was you?
I am not going to waste your time, so let me tell you the details maybe you might think otherwise about my conclusion or eventually agree with me on the matter.
I am a young Nigerian who at this point in my life think that I need more for myself. After I finished a mandatory one-year service as a Corp member (NYSC) in the month of June, 4 months ago, I decided to stay behind to look for job. I would have been retained by the school where I served but I decided not to remain with them because I believed that I deserved more than what they offer ($20 monthly salary).
I decided to look for another job instead of a job that cannot cater for my monthly needs. Since then, I have been searching and also trying to learn graphic design along the line. Learning graphic design will earn e a skill and would be an additional advantage for me in the future.
I have gathered a few contacts over the period of four months and sometimes I call to check if there is any vacancy or not and I think I need not too many so as not to create a beggarly mentality around myself.
Fast forward to the few days ago, I called one of the contacts who works in a school, and she told me that I should come with my credentials. I wasn.t feeling fine when she told me, and I delayed by a week before visiting the school. It is a bit far, so I had to plan myself financially before going there.
Fast forward to yesterday. I decided to go to the school. I got there in the morning, but I had to wait because they were having a meeting. It took me some hours but finally I was able to submit my documents.
I spent sometimes trying to cheer myself up, I saw a number of people gathered together having fun and I went to join them. I played Scrabble, Nigeria-Whot and listen to songs until it was evening time, about 6:00 PM.
I left the school and move toward the road to board a bus to a location where I can board a second bus that will take me to where I am going to.
As I was approaching the bus stop, a man came to me like a bus conductor and started discussing with me, I already thought he was a bus conductor, so I was open to discuss with him.
We passed through a narrow space together and I remembered that he intensifies his joke and pulled my belt.
As we approached the bus, he departed gradually. Little do I know what has happened to me.
I entered the bus and was, saw a lady beside me who looks like a CEO. I was about to get her contact when I realized that my phone has left me.
Well, I can call it instinct because the information was clear enough, 'Look for the man.' I dashed out of the vehicle, and I got further instructions, saw the man where he was trying to cross the road. I approached him and he was so polite and gave me my phone back. This happened in an Eastern state in Nigeria a few hours before this post were written.
My emphasis is the agent. I assume an imaginary agent that tapped me and asked where my phone was. It also told me what to do and where to go.
I assume an imaginary agent telling the person not to go away yet because something bad might happen. I assume an imaginary person who didn't allow me to get provoked by not initiating a fight.
