I tired of people speaking for me.

Why do people ask

'ya kno wha I hate bout Bajans?'

Or

'Bajans is the worst because'

This pisses me off. I am a Bajan and I take personal offence when I am painted inappropiately, especially if by a fellow Bajan. It is nonsense. And they site character flaws common to everyone irregardless of race, religion, nationality and/or social class. What causes this? I think its ignoance (don't get all hot and bothered get a dictionary), caused by lack of socialising outside your own kind.. So you see all yours flaws and try to impose them on others.

This is one of the reasons I encourage an on-campus university experience. Travel a bit as well, not just to shop, sit at a bar. Meet people and interact, and recognize that we all face very similar challenges day to day.

closer to the action.

Warrens Traffic 12.30pm

I told you guys Warrens industrial is a mess, and I finally remembered to
grab a pic so you can see. Everything here is at a standstill. Expect 1/2
hour or more to get out of Warrens Industrial and up to 45 minutes to clear
the roundabout. Why? Backup can be traced to lunch time back up in the
Manning KFC Chefette triangle of vehicular death. Between cars waiting to
turn across lanes into car parks, drive thru queues snaking onto the main,
and general inconsiderate habits this is what you get.

And no I still have an hour for lunch, so lets say you have to go pay a
bill, it can be over 2 hours away from work. 1 n a half of that sitting in
traffic. Brilliant.

Why ask for help?

There are few things that piss me off. but the one or two really get my blood going.

You ever get someone interrupt you from something claiming to want your assistance? And from the time you start assisting they either say they already know, or simply ignore all you have to say and fumble aimlessly around; then when you decide to go back to what you were doing they say you not willing to help?

It is the most frustrating thing in the world to me. I hate to be disturbed when I am working because it takes me a while to get in a groove and stay focused so I cherish the few times I get momentum.

ARRGGGGGGGG

the lighter side of ZRs

These guys are so kind hearted, I mean to reverse into a gap and wait for a
passenger, now that's real service. Don't mind he brought all other traffic
to a halt for a minute or two, afterall, where could we possibly want to go
that's so important. but it's the thot that counts right?

Kite Surfing at Silver Sands

Now this looks cool as fuk. Would love to do it but since I cant swim, nor
surf ... I still to snapping pics.

Beach Clean Up

When I woke up this morning I was about to call off this trip, but I am glad
I went now. Was in an effort to clean up Long Beach from all the litter left
behind from people. It's amazing the number of plastic bags and bottle
covers I saw. And funny enough I got there late. Waiting to hear the final
tally for how much garbage was removed, what I do know is that it was too
much for a single trip on the NCC truck.

Should be an article in Sunday Sun tomorrow.

Please keep Barbados clean. Do not litter.

Reserved -vs- disabled parking

Ever noticed seemingly able bodied persons hopping n skipping from their vehicles parked in disabled marked spaces? And when ya point it out ya either get the "I going only be a minute" or the less formal "kiss my ass" response.

Ever noticed ya don't get those issues with reserved spaces labelled CEO, Gen Manager etc?

It came to a head with me in a recent meeting where I was chastised for parking on a sidewalk, but how can you have reserved parks which are empty 95% of the time, disabled parks which are the first to go daily, and then expect me to take any parking rules seriously? Give me a frigging break.

And this trend is not restricted to one or two places, its all over. Amazing how we prioritize ainnit?!?!?!
