When Murphy Decides to Take Over Your Life


You know Murphy's Laws right? The most basic one and the one on which all others are founded pretty much says "If anything can go wrong, it will"

Well lucky for me i got to experience Murphy's Laws the other day, first hand yippee (can you hear the sarcasm in my voice...sigh)

So anyway, my job happens to carry me on the road everyday into the worst possible parts of Kingston, like, Waterhouse, Rae Town, Tavern, Tivoli etc etc...you get the idea. Now this is bad enough without any extra drama. Thank goodness, so far i haven't experienced anything unsavory directly resulting from being in these areas, like shoot outs etc, especially considering that i found out the other day that the only thing my job doesn't insure against is gun shot wounds. Nehoo back to Murphy....So ironically i go to some places of North Street, turn up on a police Blockade, turns out some dead man down the lane, fine. So, we turn around and try another route, only to find out that that route block because people angry about said bredrin that get shot up the road. Ok. we try going to some other places. (I'm looking for specific persons here) I go to another part of town, turns out the guy we looking for was last seen in lane previously blocked by angry residents and police cars. Sigh, ok then, whats the likelihood of that. So after turning up dead ends after dead ends we decide to head back to the office. I'm happy cause i'm starved. Excited bc we are on the way to buy food. So we find a place buy the food and decide to eat when we get back to the office. But Murphy realizes just how happy i am and decides to spoil the fun... my boss calls and we have to pick her up. This requires driving half and hour back in the direction we coming from!!! So we do that. Then she decides that she is hungry and we have to go somewhere else to get her food. We do that. Thats another half an hour. So here i am holding my food in my hand waiting to eat. BUT...

We have to pick up someone else, Murphy again...so we do that. We get out of the van to help pack some equipment in...low and behold, the kill switch on the van's alarm system activates and we can't deactivate it. I'm still starving. We spend an hour trying to kill it, had to take off the battery and all sorts of nonsense. We had to push the van away from where we were because we were at a children's home and the van was near to one of the classrooms. So can u imagine poor little me a help push one Hiace bus...Sigh...finally we get the van started and all i can think about is eating my lunch. Get back to the office. Take out my lunch....AND...The blasted box that my food in break!!! half me lunch dash weh....I wanted to cry...i just had this bewildered look on my face and everybody was laughing their faces off....So thanks to Murphy...i had a rather messed up day. If anything can go wrong, you bet ur ass it will....

I Don't Have a Clue What Title To Give This Post

I read a post by Shonari about Scary Movie Cliches the other day. I nodded my head in agreement, even commented on it. It had me thinking that scary movies are so cliche. I used to watch scary movies and think, why the heck would i be walking down a dark road at night or across campus at odd hours of the night, or down dark scary alley ways by myself at night. I always think that. That's just stupid NOBODY does that, seriously, people are more sensible than that. Right? Ha...yeah right.

So here I am, the other night, wanting to go over to campus at about 7pm, when its dark out. I have to walk over to campus from where i live or charter a taxi, me nuh rich, so i opted to walk, no big deal it was only 7pm. It never hit me how much of a typical scary movie scene i was venturing into until i had to walk down this deserted pathway only narrow enough for two persons to walk through, no light, bush on both sides and gates at both ends. It looked something like this

EXCEPT- you're gonna need some imagination for this- remove the walls and replace it with a grass fence and its a tab bit longer and darker. I started laughing to myself and looked down the walk way thinking, am i really gonna do this. I did! and then i started to think about all the other stupid stuff i did; like walk across campus at 2am to go by the Student's Union or to go across to the library, i could easily call for a security escort. But the truth is, it really isn't so far fetched to do all these crazy things in the middle of the night. I never, once before the other night, thought about it as dangerous. It was after all familiar surroundings. I totally ignored all the stories of people getting robbed and raped. So maybe not so cliche at all. Maybe, or maybe i'm what scary movies are made of.

Are Men Just Stupid or are Women Better Liars?

Well thats the question, are men just stupid or are they just bad liars?

Unfortunately most of us, I've realized are unfaithful at least once in our lives in our relationships. Men Cheat, women cheat, but apparently women cheat better. This is a truth, it has to be because most breakups that end due to one partner finding about about the infidelity of the other, ends because the woman finds out about the man. Here is why i think men are either just stupid or women are really good at this unfaithful thing.


1. Have you ever heard a guy talking to his girlfriend on the phone when he is in the c0mpany of another woman. It's quite hilarious. He automatically has the guilty sound in his voice, because all the usual qualities of his voice changes, pitch etc. The conversation doesn't follow the guy's usual pattern, he hardly talks and he just sounds so guilty. tsk tsk tsk...poor guy

2. You always know when a guy is talking to another woman on the phone, whether or not its a woman that he is involved with or not. It's not really their fault. I mean, he can't talk to a girl the same way he would talk to a guy. But guys know this and if a girl calls when he is with his girlfriend then he starts acting weird/suspicious. He'll keep glancing at his girlfriend and can't help but look quite uncomfortable and the conversation usually has alot of "huhs and hmm hmms and oks"...

3. If a guy's other woman calls when he is with his girlfriend, the other girl always knows. men are hopeless at this one. It's impossible for him to pretend he is just talking to a friend. In jumps the suspicious behaviour and voice again. I mean even if the other girl called to ask about something non relationship related like giving him a message from another friend or something to that effect.

4. The general tendency though, for men, is to not answer the phone any at all if he is with his other woman and the girlfriend calls. I mean i can understand that too, considering we know that they can't have a normal conversation in that kind of environment. But ignoring the g/f call all evening and not even coming up with a good story is really just a bad idea guys. Just answer.

Women don't behave like this, hence the better liar explanation. If a girl is with another man she is going to answer the phone and act as normal as possible, quite normal, you cant tell if anything is wrong. If the other man calls when she is with her boyfriend, she answers, no reason to act all weird, after all, her phone always rings, friends always call, not answering would be quite suspicious, we know that, guys need to realize that too. And if you ask who is that, then we will quickly off up the honest answer, its "Jim".

I'm not promoting this unfaithful behaviour, you know, but geesh if you gonna do it, do it properly, save yourself and the women involved the agony of finding out about each other, its better for all parties. Clearly being faithful is the easiest way of avoiding agony, but i know its not gonna go down that way so guys, buck up and get better with your acts, we're worth the effort.

Man How Times Have Changed


I'm sitting here doing some blog management and with no particular inspiration decided not to do a post today. I log out and decide to go and check my Facebook...and it hit me..."man how times have changed" I have about 60 pics of me and my friends on my facebook account, i have numerous pictures of myself all over the internet; at parties, functions, even my work place has managed to post a picture of me somewhere on their website- without my knowledge or permission. I had to laugh because not so long ago i wouldn't even send a pic to a friend via the internet because it could be intercepted by crazy people and be manipulated...blah blah blah blah blah...you get the idea. When i talked on messenger, i used to ignore people i didn't know already, and i wouldn't give out any personal information to strangers like my address and telephone number! Well i still dont' do that...BUT

I'm thinking, that can't have been that long ago. Now, all my personal information can be gathered from somewhere or another. My work website had an email address for me posted that I DIDN'T even know i had. Seriously thats the first time i knew i had it! Facebook, Hi5, Blogger, etc. information about me, my age, sex, who i might or might not be in a relationship with, what i like, dislike, and loads and loads of pics to boot. It's crazy isn't it ! We have all been brainwashed! LOL...Social Networking is now the norm and not having all your business splashed all over the internet somewhere makes you the "weird one", "socially inept" and outdated. I'm still in awe, its crazy. Sigh, Oh how times have changed!

Sometimes I'm Not A "Girl" Because


1. I like Guinness, and i like it hot and i don't drink "beer"

2. I don't see why guys need to put "the seat" back down...we need it down, they need it up, i mean whats the deal

3. I don't like pink --------> despite the fact that its taking over my wardrobe

4. I think men invented heels bc i hate them and its one other way for them to make women miserable! Which is why i tend to no wear them

5. I don't think casual sex should lead to a relationship...i defintely don't think sex means we are in a relationship or heading down that road

6. I go out with the guys and drink...and i drink as much as they do :P

7. I don't see why my hair must always be perfect...

8. I've taken 60 mintues to get ready to go out and that included: washing my hair, drying it, curling it, finding clothes, taking a shower, finding shoes, makeup and accessories, helping my friend decide on her clothes, and her makeup...and i was damn hot!!!! LOL

9. I no longer get my drink poured for me when i hang out with the guys...and the bump me when a new girl comes...(smile)

10. I don't giggle...LOL

Sugar Daddy Me


This morning, right before i got into work, I work at UWI, i saw this car stop a couple feet in front of me, and out pops a young girl. She looked as though she was in first year (ah the freshers have this young, fresh, expectant look still, not the i want to leave this flipping place look) step out of a car and off to her classes...we hope...i instinctively looked at who was driving (cause me fass a so me stay...lol) i thought, oh cool her dad dropped her off. In the next instant, almost reflexively i thought..."or at least i hope its her dad"...Sigh...



I couldn't help but automatically think that this guy could be her man, her sugar daddy. According to Wiki, yes wiki actually has a definition for sugar daddy, can you believe it! A "Sugar Daddy" is a older man who gets involved with a younger girl and spend whole heap of money on her, basically. The fact that my mind went instantly to the sugar daddy thing probably meant that this sugar daddy thing is quite common. And, shockingly (can u hear the sarcasm in my voice :)), it is. I actually know a few people who have sugar daddies. Just have the little old men giving them all they want and need, school fee, clothes, money, apartments, everything! But then i cant help but wonder....how is the sex though! I mean i have never looked on anyone over 35 yrs and gone hmmm sexy, i'd like to sleep with him. It's so odd, i can't imagine what it would be like. But many people opt for it so it cant be that bad right?!
Well that it...I've decided that i want someone to Sugar Daddy me....NOT

Oh...did you know that Sugar daddy literally meant a Sugar Plantation Owner? Well thats where it came from...according to Wiki.

Things You Are Better Off Not Knowing









There are so many scary facts floating around out there, that we really probably would be better off not knowing about. But...since I know and i feel a tinge of "bad mind", and knowledge is in fact power and i want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the joys of power (the wonderful person i am), I thought I'd share.
So here is a list of some of the things we really would have been better off not knowing. Yes, these are all true, according to some study somewhere. I don't want to shock you too much so I'll just give you about five today.

1. On average, your office desk has 400 times more bacteria than your toilet. Yes, your office desk, the one you are sitting at now, while you are reading this, and probably eating your lunch, or breakfast at, has more bacteria than your toilet!

2.Once a human reaches the age of 35 s/he will start loosing about 7 million brain cells a day and those will never, ever be replaced! Yeah, i can see you there trying to pretend you don't remember your age.

3. Mosquitoes have 47 teeth! Yow that is some scary stuff. Mosquitoes have more teeth than we do. Those blood suckers, well the women anyway :)

4. Four sunken nuclear submarines are presently sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. One of them, somewhere off the coast of Bermuda has 16 live nuclear warheads. According to scientists corrosion could lead to a nuclear chain reaction!!!

5. Rats multiply so quickly that in two months two rats could have over 1 million descendants

I Think my Boss is....


I don't want to say crazy. I mean, its not nice to say people are crazy but she drives me crazy and she knows it. I've manged to, over the years, get a hold of my tongue, to some extent. I no longer just say what i want, how i feel, whenever i want. I hear that's what makes us civil and tolerable and stuff like that, that's, well, people say, important. What i haven't, however, managed to do is...(sigh) mask my feelings on my face. What I'm thinking shows, especially if I'm thinking any of the above things, "what the f^&K are you talking about", "you are so annoying me right now", "go away", "i just spent 3 months working on that and it was fine the last 300 times i carried it to you for approval, what the f*@!k you mean you want...changed?!" Yah, so you can imagine the relationship with me and my boss.

My boss is a wonderful young lady. She's hired me twice now, on two separate projects. I like her, i really do, she's funny and fun, she's understanding, and she has taught me a lot. BUT...lord, she drive me up the fricking wall half the time. My boss is....
My boss has a tendency to warp time. Here's why i say that. I am a research assistant. That means i have infinite amount of tasks to do on any given day. My boss tells me exactly what she wants and i do it. She'll sometimes give me a list of about 3-4 things that need to be done and the time frame in which she wants it. Of course, she asks me how long each will take. I ask her what is most important and i give her a time frame taking into consideration the fact that i might work on more than one task simultaneously. Now of course whatever time i work out with my well proven equation will be tripled because my dear boss:

1. Will always come with a new task in the middle of the ones i am already doing that needs to be done urgently. So drop everything else and do it now. Which is fine. What drives me crazy, is that she still expects all the other things to be done in the same time frame that i originally gave. Hello! were u not there when you have me something else to do that took DAYS! What else irks me is that she will ask me one hundred million times how "its coming along" what the hell does that mean! It's a thing to be done, its either finished or not. If u say you want it by Thursday, don't ask me on Tuesday how its going. If i had a problem i would have come to you! Next thing...(sigh) My boss sees me at 4:30 pm (that's when work lets out) and she asks have you done The Report yet? I say no, i haven't. Great. We go home, i get in at 8:20 next morning (work starts at 8:30) and she is in my office by 8:25 with "so how's the report coming along". Hello!!!!!!!! "you do realize that i don't work here over night right?" And of course....there is the face i can't hide. And she knows it because this is where i look up at her with "THE LOOK" she says "OK" and leaves my office. Sigh....
But let me reiterate. My boss, i like, but my boss is....
