Taxi Stories- No Gas? No Problem Mon

I always knew public transportation would be the bane of my existence, but it turns out to be quite an 'oxymoronish' kind of situation. Travelling on taxis to work in the morning does in fact cause me much misery but also turns out to be quite amusing in an after-the-fact kind of way.
So as you can imagine, more often than not, my mornings to work turn out to be quite an adventure. So, I'm a gonna be noice, yes noice, can you hear it huh? Huh? and share some of my stories with ya!



So this particular morning I'm running late, like 2 hours late but no biggie really. I finally manage to get a taxi and I'm really happy because sun and makeup is most definitely not a pretty sight. Gladly, I get in the front and Ha! The Joke's on me. This taxi has no A/C and just my luck the windows do not go down. According to this taximan he went to the autoelectrician the day before and he somehow magically messed up all the electronics. Great *rolls* eyes. AT this point I'm sweating, water is gushing from my face and scalp. I try not to be too miserable and accept my fate until the car starts to sputter! Sputter, Sputter, Sputter...I'm here thinking Ok he can't find the gear...clutch, gear, clutch, sputter, sputter and then...NOTHING the blasted taxi is...can you guess? OUT OF GAS! Are you kidding me! So

I'm already mapping the new plan: get out walk to the next bus stop and catch another cab, a bus maybe. But alas ingenious taximan; No gas? No problem mon. My ingenious taximan puts the car in reverse, switch to the opposite side of the road and proceed to let the car run a mile down the hill, on the main road, back to the gas station. OMG I was so embarassed! Here we are running down the road in reverse and everyone is staring at us. Its a very, very odd feeling, staring at the car in front, well behind us if you really think about it. And then, on top of all of this when we finally get to the Gas station he buys...drum roll please...JAM$500 worth of gas, about US$5, so you know he gonna be running out of gas again in short order. Surprisingly enough we all sat there calm as ever as though this is all rather normal behaviour. Lord help us all with these taxis. He must be watching over us for the adventures we survive. How I manage to actually make it to work in one piece most mornings is obviously the work of God. Caribbean Cabs!

Little Lizzy and Me

You know, i'm not really afraid of lizards per se! I just dont like them in my house!!!!!!! Well apparently this little croaking lizard decided, clearly without my permission, to take up residence in my kitchen!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe the audacity of the vermin!!!!!!!
I know it was intentional retribution for my killing some relative of his not so long ago. I know this, he knows this, and unfortunately he has the upper hand because, for the life of me I am completely scared out of my crazy mind to kill the blasted thing...and he knows...

So, first incident...I went away for Christmas and I think my long absence from home gave him the brilliant idea to move in. When i came home in the new year the stupid thing decided to let his presence known by jumping off the counter at me...can u believe it - i nearly passed out from shock

Second incident...One day after coming home from work tired and all, the thing was sitting on my kitchen counter staring at me. All attempts to shew it failed and we had a stare off; me vs little Lizzy, well, needless to say i won the stare off because again, the blasted thing decided to jump at me again...but alas he missed and I sprinted to my room and shut the door

We're still having our little battle, yesterday while taking my pans out the cupboard to start my cooking the blasted thing-little Lizzy, jumped out the cupboard, but i think i might finally be getting the upper hand because he scurried away and hid behind the stove...I know ur there little Lizzy....
I wonder whats gonna happen next...hopefully i will soon find the courage to kill the blasted thing...

Revisiting Me

So, after a very long hiatus I'm back. I'm planning to be around for a little while and I hope I stick to the plan. I miss blogging. It seems so much of what I enjoyed doing has disappeared and I think they took pieces of me. So, now I'm on a journey to find Me, creative, angry, bitchy, smart, happy me. Wish me luck and I hope my readers stick around to see if I find what I'm looking for.
