KARMA 2.0

KARMA 2.0

There are those days when everything just goes south and you have a very shitty day. But just when you think it’s the worst day possible, something happens that makes you smile that evil grin. I had one of those days recently, but before I tell you the story, please journey with me down memory lane.

I was posted to Rivers State for my NYSC (scratch that, I got myself posted to Rivers State), and I was in for a fun year. I was young and I wanted to explore the “deep, round riches” of the Garden City. There was this weekend someone buzzed me on Badoo, I looked up his profile and he was this cute, young guy. I responded, we took it to BBM, and four hours later, I was in a cab going to his uncle’s house where he was staying. (Shut up, don’t judge me)

We had the best night ever (or so I thought); we went out for drinks, came home drunk and horny, and then we did the nasty over and over. In the morning, it was great waking up to entwined arms and the feeling of satiation, and I reluctantly got up to get dressed and leave. An hour later, I got home, sank into bed and retrieved my Blackberry to ping him.

“Thanks for a good time,” I pinged. My message didn’t deliver. Alas, he was no longer on my BBM. Bitch had deleted me!

I did not have his number, seeing as we went from Badoo to BBM. I felt like I’d been hit by a truck, not because I was really into him, but because the rejection really stung. I swallowed it and forgot about him, but not before making a quick supplication to my very dear goddess of karma to strike back.

Fast forward five years (2014), just a few weeks ago, I came to work in the morning and I was instructed to get to the head office in Lagos to pick up something. I was peeved because sometimes they tell you it’s a one-day trip and you end up staying more than a day. My company treats single people like puppets that they can pull and dump at will.

I got to Lagos that morning and passed some people wearing suits at the reception, sitting uncomfortably (clearly people who had come for an interview). I went to the cold storage, picked up what I came for and made a dash for the stairs, when the head of HR stopped me. They were having interviews and she needed one more person to make the panel odd-numbered, and she said she would like someone not high up the ladder. I agreed after she promised that I would leave that day.

I got into the interview room and took a seat. And we got started.

And then, the door opened to admit the sixth person. Lo and behold, it was the guy from 2009 who I fucked, and who deleted me afterwards. Karma must have thought the day was my birthday, because this was indeed a pleasant surprise. When he saw me in the panel, he looked like he’d seen a ghost, but I kept my cool as I fired questions away at him during the interview. At a point, I was the only one interviewing him while the others just watched me, probably wondering where the passion was coming from.

A small voice said to me: “Make sure he fails, that way you can teach him a lesson.” But before I could decide what to do, another voice said: “If you are his supervisor, you can torment him to your heart’s content.” So I went with the second voice. I even scored him high in the interview. Shortly before leaving Lagos, I pulled a few strings to ensure he would be posted to Port Harcourt in the event that he makes it through.

I later got confirmation that he was successful and that he is to resume in PHC as an intern, directly under my supervision for six months. I will grade his log books and I will score his appraisals. This will be a very long stretch of six months for him.

The drama has just started, I will keep you all updated.

    Wrong Title…. It should have been Karma 4.4.2 Kitkat…. I had same experience and boi was it awkward.. It was beyond that. Like we Modern Yoruba will say”Olorun atijo lo npe ko to mu ni, Olorun asiko yi kia kia ni” English -“The Godof the Old era takes time before catching up with you, but the God of this Era.. The guy na sharp sharp God”.

    Dear Dennis, I don’t presume to know why he deleted you, he alone knows why. However I would like you to consider that he may have deleted you not out of malice but rather of guilt at indulging in something he wants but has been made to believe is wrong. It is like the battle between flesh and spirite. He gives in to the overwhelming natural need but then feels remorse afterwards for doing a ‘bad’ deed. Part of his atonement would then be turning away from wrongdoing which would inclue the person he did the act with.
    Just consider this in your future dealings with him.
    All the best…

      Deleting people is not restricted to tops. It’s a demand and supply thing. If you have more or better options you won’t be tender/invested. Be careful of stereotypes, especially subliminal ones. If you expect someone to be rough or rude towards you, then you wont be able to observe them with a clear head and perceptive mind.

    Maybe the guy just did not like you and didn’t know how to tell you. Happens all the time. It’s better than having your pings ignored or receiving attitude.

    I’d rather you don’t acknowledge, in any way, the past you two had; last thing you want is your colleagues catching on to a “strange vibe” between you two or – worse – the guy getting it into his head that you’re after him. You knew him for just 24 hours, not long enough to assess his character; if it turns out he’s capable of what that other guy did to you in the office, two near-kito cases on your resume won’t look too good, talk less of you supervising anybody else in the future. #OkBye #SermonOver. #EnjoyYourIntern #StopPhotographingCakes

    Its been long I laughed this HARD. TBH, that guy was probably horny in da moment and needed a quick fuck with no strings attached. But I know it does not justify his actions. But seeking revenge might just make you look like the hurt one, and you def don’t want that. So I lyk your plan of not being lenient with him. Fair and justified.
