World over, people have their own conceptions and misconceptions about certain jobs. Today, your only reliable brain in Ugandan university tackles a topic that verges on that. Definately, some jobs are quite easy. Take a weather forecaster in Algeria. He can simply walk out of his bed and declare to the nation "...sunny and dry throughout the coutry". Most certainly, it will come to pass. The viewers will be happy and so will his bosses.There are, however some jobs that would stress any one with nerves. In no particular order, I present some of them. Have fun!
Musomesa:
My dear mother, the beautiful Margaret Nanyanzi (excuse the obsession), is a teacher at the most stressful of levels - primary school. For some reason, parents here want to be know-it-alls. Every one of them wants their child to sit on one of the most proximal seats. They forget to remember that class rooms are built in threee dimension. If every child were to sit on the front row, some will have to clamour on the window or even peep from outside - to keep the line!
It is the same parents who keep fronting all possible reasons as to why why their kid keeps goofing exams.They only forget to mention the genetics at play. A man with a pea-sized brain elopes with a slightly worse mama and they expect their mutt to top a class. This is a typical case of Chameleone's Beefuula!
The barber:
The untiring men who mow our scalps must be among the most tolerant batch in the world. Imagine a guy entering your salon and demanding you model his beard of whiskers, to appear like that of Robert Pires or Geoffrey Lutaaya (How I dislike it!). Then on lowering your head to start the task, you realise it is quite uphill. The guy's breath is one of a month's beans, groundnuts and perhaps the Kamwookya herb!But you are supposed to endure.He is your first client since eight of the clock. Besides, you are but a barber - a kinyoozi.Then there are those guys who have a lot of dandruff. Sometimes it is so much you can bake a cake out of it.Yet you can not complain, even when it is clogging the blades of your machine.
Worse if the guy has a protruding occipital (enkoona), or a head as big as a computer monitor. This would not be a problem in itself, but such guys have a penchant for under declaring their assets when payment time is nigh. They perpetually want to pay less than their worth.
Sanitary engineer:
This is my euphemism of choice for 'toilet cleaner'.I don't know about others, but those in Ugandan universities have a very torrid time. Bambi when they prepare their CV's and apply for the job, they think it will be easy all the way; that they will be dealing with intellectuals. How off-the-mark!It is on their first day at work when they learn the other uses of The New Vision, The Red Pepper, The Daily Monitor and most shockingly, Alpha milk sachets!
And since an average campuser is constipated twenty one hours a day (Don't feign exclusion), there are always those sausages that never go, however turbulent the flush. The women of God are supposed to appear every single morning of their lives,to show them the safe way to Bugoloobi!!!
