If I don't Get It, Nobody Will- The foreman

Wamaku's saloonist neighbour, Khadija, had a man over last night. From how neatly dressed he was, it is safe to assume he was from out of town, probably from the city. His Toyota ist looks a little old but at least he has one unlike Wamaku. The foreman's house is next to the gate so automatically, that's where the parking is. He is not happy about it but the other neighbours managed to quiet him down when he started complaining about the vehicle blocking his door. They told him to bring a lady over maybe that would reduce his irritable behaviour. 

It has been a while since Wamaku had a lady over at his house. At least that's what his neighbours are saying. They decided that minding their own business is something they weren't interested in doing and Wamaku knows this. This particular saloonist has been the main character in this. One time Wamaku paid her Tshs 10,000 to not tell people that his wife had beaten him up the previous night and that he had gone to seek refuge at her place. She held the secret from around 3.00 am in the morning to 8.00 am. A WHOLE FIVE HOURS😂. When her first customer came in, she couldn't hold it any more. She called Wamaku and informed him that she was willing to return the money he had given her in exchange for her 'freedom of speech.' She even went ahead to give him a rough schedule of where she was going to start in her umbea quest. By 10 am, Wamaku had received his 10,000 and everyone at the site was laughing about the kichapo that the foreman had been given.

Aaaaaaanyway, all the ladies that Wamaku desires at the campsite are either taken or he already 'chewed' and cannot 're-chew.' He is not happy about Khadija getting some while he is on a 'dry spell', not to mention the parking issue. To get back at her, Wamaku decided to wait until the oven was heated up and ready to start baking so he can revenge. Fortunately or unfortunately, TANESCO decided to go the Kenya Power way and quiet down the place. And in this kavillage, blackout means no music and no music means people will hear anything and eveything that goes on in their neigbour's house. So while the neighbours were seated outside trying to catch fresh air while hoping that TANESCO will do the needful as soon as possible, Khadija was getting busy with Mr. out of town. Guess what the foreman did when he had had enough? He went outside the gate and came back running and panting while shouting,"Fire, fire!! The neighbourhood is on fire! Heeeeeeelp"

Long story short, Khadija and Mr. out of town had to cut their mahaba out to respond to the raised alarm as fast as they possibly could. Other neighbours also ran out, struggling to fit through the kasmall entrance, some of them naked. And unfortunately the power company decided it was time to return😂.

Wamaku on the Beach: The foreman's Vacation

You know those construction workers who are ever obsessed with their work and making them use their leave days is like punishing them? Yeah, Wamaku is one of them. He says he doesn't need the days and that if he needs to see his family, mamaa  and the kids will always come over. The project manager however decided that this year people will be working shifts during the Christmas holiday unike last year when every section worked in full. So Wamaku had to leave someone else in charge for the first two weeks of December and work the last two. It was either one or the other and he had to pick the days with the most overtime. Brilliant, right? Anyway, from the pictures on his statuses, he has been enjoying Mbezi beach. Although he takes the kind of photos that only 50+ year olds take. Or -4 year olds. Wait, now that I think about it, my 3 year old cousin takes better pictures. In his pictures, it looks he is trying to look like he is not taking the pictures while taking the pictures so

The foreman's predicament; A story of attempted infidelity and getting caught

Wamaku came to work with strange spots on his face and part of his neck. He was also in a  very bad mood. Anyone who knows him knows that if someone "steps in his way" on such a day, they will go home. Literally. His form of punishment for a long time has been sending people on unpaid leave. Anyone who has worked in construction for a while knows that is better than being fired. He is a thoughtful man, some say.  Source: Nation media Word on the street is that Wamaku's wife found messages of him and the new earthworks intern, Julia. He came home drunk and got out his phone to inform her that he had arrived. They had been together that evening and as they parted ways, she had told him to text him when he gets home safe- what he was doing.  His wife had heard someone stumble over the kid's toys in the verandah and she had woken up to go see. It was her lovely husband coming back from a drinking spree. He was a little tipsy and he was trying to text someone. She walked t

Lessons from the Mjengo to embrace in 2024: Happy New Year

  Working in the construction field AKA mjengo is like attending the world's most practical school of life lessons. First and foremost, it teaches the undeniable power of teamwork. Trying to build something substantial without a crew is like attempting to juggle bricks—it might work for a second, but eventually, you'll need a hand. As we dive into 2024, we must keep embracing the spirit of teamwork and togetherness. Construction sites are like giant, real-life LEGO projects where everyone has a specific role, from the architect who dreams up the design to the kagirl who cleans offices and fetches tea but somehow becomes the motivational cornerstone of the team. You quickly learn that collaboration isn't just a buzzword; it's the glue holding those bricks (and your sanity) together. Moreover, construction work is a masterclass in adaptability and creative problem-solving. You start your day with a blueprint, a plan etched in stone (well, paper), but the moment you step
