Around 11 pm on Thursday, l read some posts from my Filipino buddies in a blockchain-based microblogging platform and almost every one of them was thanking God that it's Friday. #TGIF was not new to me and the fact that they are waking up when I'm about to go to bed was also not a big deal. I always take it as one of those stunts we have to embrace as people living in different parts of the world.

> Now, I'm glad to have slept nicely and I'm excited to be wide awake and making the best of this day. This fabulous day. It's TGIF! Are you excited?

People can't hide their excitement whenever Friday is around the corner.

I can still recall how much l valued days like days when l was serving in the National Youth Service of my country. It was from March 2020 to February 2021. I didn't start the service per se, until November when the whole corona issue and the lockdown that came with it became less serious. When l started serving, l was deployed to a Commercial bank where l worked from 7 am to 5 pm.

As of that time, l was still learning the ropes about blogging and writing and blockchain-based platforms as a whole. I knew that this is something that would save my ass by the end of my service year so, I didn't take it as a joke. Combining both the physical job and this was not an easy one. Having 4 hours of sleep each day became a part of me. That was one of the many prices l had to pay to learn about the opportunities piled up in the virtual world.

> At that time, weekends were my best time of the week. Fridays in particular gave me a different type of energy.

It was a perfect time to be free from the glaring eyes of my manager and the aimless trekking across all the streets of Jos, Plateau state.

Why the trekking? Well, it's just a thing for Nigerian banks. They pay you between $80 - $120 monthly so, get ready to go on a hunt for people that will open an account with the bank. It doesn't matter if everyone in Nigeria already has multiple bank account numbers, just meet your daily and weekly and monthly target or get roasted and threatened for being *'unqualified'*. Tsk tsk 

Even as a Corper, l didn't get any preferential treatment. This was an eye-opener and that was how l bid farewell to bank jobs. Every Monday, l see myself waiting for Fridays to come. The same circle continued until the last week of February when l ended my service.

> At the moment, l'm unemployed but l'm not jobless. I'm always busy in my head and online doing stuffs. Would TGIF vibe still get to me? 

Almost everyone around me says how much they need a break from the weekday's activities, but for me, l don't just say it, l do it! 

I do what l love and l work when l want so, every day is almost the same for me. No special day for work or rest. I do either of them when l feel like doing it and l can do it from any part of the world.

Last weekend, I honoured an invitation to teach about Blockchain-based social media and l was able to onboard 7 people into a microblogging site while sitting in the comfort of my hotel room. I already have this weekend choked up with more work. *Fun-work!* I will be holding a tutorial with a banker and I'm sure that he will do well as an Hiver. 

*FYI, all these are done freely because... I don't know because. I'm just glad to enlighten more people about this ✌️*

Now that l'm thinking of this, l must say that l currently commit more work hour to my online activities than l ever did throughout my working experience in a bank. 

**Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma**
