hate ‘Africa time’…

I know that ‘hate’ is a strong word, but I cannot express in any other way how I feel about people being late for appointments or class or anything else for that matter! And it’s not once in a while, it’s all the time! And it is just accepted with a grin, a shrug of the shoulders and the normal frustrating words ‘it’s Africa time’. It’s so incredibly frustrating- as if their time is more important than my time!?!

This rant is because I am sitting on the side of the road waiting for a lawyer to come to his office for an appointment that was supposed to start 20 minutes ago. He did not tell me that he was late until I told him I was waiting outside his office gate!

It is by far the most annoying thing about being here! The wasted time… day in and day out there is always much inefficiency because people cannot manage time here! Argh!

  1. Black people time is what Richard and sometimes I work too. Lol. At least Charlton are doing well, so much so that Lee Bowyer is on football focus. Hope you get to hear some cricket today and that it helps to keep you calm, but with that view I’m sure you are very relaxed. Take care hon. X
