Random Friday thoughts….
Bwoy, this blogger nuh really have much to write about lately. Maybe a true indication that the time for this scribbling on the internet to cease is nigh….
Well, yet another Friday is here. Give thanks for that. I made sure to fix the December rota leaving me off call every Friday for the month. After all, me name rass Senior! 
Tonight, the trusted crew from my high school class will be linking each other to share Christmas spirit. We haven’t linked since we had the reunion in August. When we do meet, it usually is an enjoyable affair, so let the lika, jokes and ribbing flow! 
Yesterday, there was much query going around in our unit as to the date for payday this month. Normally, they pay about the 17th or 18th in December. So, trusty me decided to shout the lady in charge of Payroll. I called her extension……she answered, but didn’t sound much like she wished to be bothered. So, I greeted her and wished her Merry Christmas when it comes. She thanked me. I then asked her, “How you sound so? You doh sound like Christmas at all!” She chuckled and said that there was nuff work in her department to finish regarding payroll. I said to her that she should just do what she has to do. Which leads me to the real purpose for the call……”What date do we get paid this month?” “Thursday 21st Doc!” So, I started to laugh, asking if they couldn’t pay us any later inna de month……(I was being sarcastic!) Anyhow, I thanked her for the information and spread the word. Now, is a good ting seh mi account nuh dry, otherwise, shopping for the holiday season would get cancelled, or I would haffi join the gridlock madness in the plazas with the last minuters….nope, not I. I man almost done…I will be smiling to myself when I see the irate people in the traffic jams trying to get into plaza and find parking space.
We suppose to get we hams today. So, I will have to do some baking next week, probably Thursday. A bredrin also asked me to do his for him. I told him it would be my pleasure….for a fee of course! Is joke me a mek man. Saw an article in one of the newspapers about ham baking. They made a grave error saying that the peice o pork must bake ONE HOUR per pound! Frig dat! If it bake one hour per pound, it a go dry up and if you lucky, you get bone. The ham is to be baked FIFTEEN minutes per pound. And dah man yah talking from nuff years of experience.
Did my last private practice for the year last night. Makes no sense going last two weeks in the year….nobody comes…..everybody energy (and money) focused on merriment. Docta is the last ting pon dem mind.
Anyway, nutten more to seh but TGIF. Enjoy.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:30 pm Look on the bright side, if you get paid so late, you won’t be bruks in January! Have a great weekend.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:11 pm We already get our pay for December already. 21st kinda late though. We should get our bonus by then.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:22 pm 21st…man then making sure yuh don’t get into the spending spree. I agree with you about the ham. From one experienced ham baker to another the longest I’ve ever done is 20 minutes per pound and eevn then it was a little dry but that one needed it (too much fatty parts).
December 15th, 2006 at 6:27 pm I agree about the ham. Like most meat, better slighty undercooked than over. And don’t bring up nothing ’bout trichinosis. When last them find any trace of that? Next thing we going worry ’bout Malaria!
December 15th, 2006 at 7:55 pm Enjoy it brother. I will do a ham myself.
December 16th, 2006 at 9:06 am CD…BONUS??? A wah dat!?
December 16th, 2006 at 9:19 am Bwoy, for a man who ah say that he can’t find anything to chat bout, you did pretty well. I foudn this post interesting, witty and informative. What the rass wrong wid you. Keep up with posts like this one and maybe Guyana Gyal will have a competitor at the nextr bloggies! All you need is a little more regularity.
December 16th, 2006 at 10:42 am Enjoy your weekend & your bakin’, Doc. Hopefully your high school reunion went as well as it usually does.
December 17th, 2006 at 6:47 am Well we not getting paid until the 20th so me an dyou in the same ship. Agreed with MB about your post
December 17th, 2006 at 8:18 am It’s very ironic that you’re hinting at exiting the blog world. This morning I lie in bed and thought, lemme see what the doc has to say this morning. I smiled to myself remembering how earlier in year, you mentioned quitting and thought to myself, I’d certainly miss those posts (all this before coming on your blog to see you talking about quitting again.) Eerie. I thought of you because you’re the one person who usually do a weekend blog even if no one else does. Anyway, I’m using this week to finish shopping, since I won’t be around next weekend. It’s a madhouse out there. Drove around long time yesterday to find parking, and is not like my vehicle’s small where I can squeeze in anywhere. Please don’t stop blogging yet. I’ll tell you when I’m ready to quit reading and blogging and you can stop then. (Hehe, see how selfish I am? no thought of the other readers who’ll miss you. Teehee)
December 17th, 2006 at 9:51 am Aaah Miss Gela. you mekkin big man blush….
