Tower Of Babel

You might be wondering why I have used the date today as the title for this post….well, is because today is supposed to be the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours…and it suppose to well hot. Yesterday did warm I tell you, but I was pleasantly surprised….the night cooled down nicely up by me.

Watched some HBO before I hit the sack. They had DEF Poetry hosted by Russel Simmonds. Guess who turned up amongst the artistes…nuh Bounty Killa. And in addition, the surprise act, Alicia Keyes! Now, me love dah woman deh better dan mi left seed people. She suweet! Overall, good bedtime entertainment.

You wouldn’t know how I looking forward to Friday this week…..I will be on leave Friday afternoon. In addition to that, our clinic on Friday afternoon at the hospital was cancelled by the boss on account of a conference which she’s attending….so, by midday, I will be free like a bird….tun leggo beast to ra$$…a look forward to a wikid Friday night lime…..and we are supposed to have been paid by then too! (Dem better doh try none o de shyte weh dem did do last month!) Anyhow, it is only Tuesday right now, so let me as a sistren of mine would say…’calm myself’.

Last night private practice was pretty busy…so though I came home tiyad like a dog, I have a few dollars to put in the kitty. You done know dem seh that ‘by the sweat of the brow, shall we eat bread!’ (If only there was an easier way…..not that I’m lamenting.) Enuff of me and my idle chatter.

I saw this headline in today’s Gleaner. I thought for a moment after reading it. If indeed these employees of the airline are guilty of ‘trafficking’ people illegally into the US, then they must suffer the consequences. However, if the converse is true and they are innocent, I can see wid how they feel. US officials can be pretty pig headed in the way they operate. They basically act by rote IMHO. They do not know how to use any level of common sense, especially at their ports of entry. Once a man fits a ‘profile’ they handle one and all like they are guilty of a crime, and can be damn feisty on top o it! Quite frankly, I am not looking forward to passing through Baltimore Washington International Airport next week. Because of its proximity to the White House, that place come ‘een like Alcatraz to rahtid. Anyway, let me jus cool. I hope that the true story with these employees of our airline will be sorted out. Having said all of that, I have on the rare occasion met Immigration officials in the States with a sense of humor, so let me not crucify all of them.

As you might have surmised by now, I don’t have a lot to share, so lest I be accused of chatting bare fart….I gone go get ready for work. Later will be greater…at least I hope so.
