What an Artaclapse! (What a disaster?!)
Hail up to all crew! What a gwaan? Listen nuh man, this week has been mucho hectic! We ‘went live’ on a new banking system last weekend and there have been a number of issues throughout the week that have kept me with my nose to the grindstone! I guess you noticed the paucity of posts (and comments on your blogs) during this week? Well, thats why!
Even this weekend, I’m going in to work… not as long as last weekend, but I will be there Saturday in the afternoon, trying to resolve some issues with some interfaces developed by another… now my responsibility. 
Me naw complain still, because learning is taking place.
So, what other suss do I have to let off pon oonoo? Well, a woman at the workplace give me a piece of her tongue tideh! (Today!) By the way, thats not meant in a good sense! Ah cuss the woman cuss me off!
Of course, there is more!
Now, she is always passing through our department, and she seemed like a nice, jovial, fun-loving person to me, you zimi?. Who tell me to run joke with her? Mmmm mmmm!
So, on Wednesday, she passed through the department and stopped to ‘labrish’ (chat) with a bredrin (who co-incidentally seems to be regarded as a ‘hot yout’ about the place!).
She was talking loud, right, so I can’t help but hear everything she was saying, and she started to ask him some questions which were sounding a bit personal (IMHO, anyway)! After awhile, I leaned around my cubicle wall and tell the yute, jokingly, “My yute, be careful, she like you off!”.
Ah who tell me to say so! She got a bit agitated, seen! Yow, she started to talk a bit loudly!
“Nothing like that! He is my son’s friend! I wouldn’t! No! I couldn’t go there!”… or words to that effect, anyway!
So I said to her “That doesn’t mean anything! Hey, they have entire pornsites dedicated just to the theme of women who are into their son’s friend’s, you know!”. She went on to vehemently disavow her interest in either the yute or in those websites of that ilk! That was it for that day.
Today now!
I was sitting working with two other women upstairs and she stopped by to say something to one of them. I don’t remember now how it came up, but again, the prevailing mood at the gathering was a joking one!
Anyway, I said to her, laughing all the time, “I know you were visiting those sites I was telling you about the other day, you know!”. Blood Cleat! Who tell me to say that? She went semi-ballistic! You could see that she was desperately trying to rein in her temper and refrain from telling me ’bout me modda, but she just barely succeeded! She ‘wild me up!’, rasta!
Anyway, thats how it goes sometimes… I don’t hold it against her. I guess I sort of ‘passed my place’ with her… or is it that my seemingly harmless joke touched a nerve because it uncovered TRUTH! After all, they do say “If you throw a stone into a pig pen, the one that squeal, is him the stone lick!”
I dunno, still, but I not going to faas with her anymore. After all… the yute is over eighteen! Theres nothing illegal about it!
Overheard at ‘On the Run’ (a very popular gas station that sells a bit of everything that you might need and at a very high price, I might add… the ‘On the Run’ stations are frequented by all and sundry here in Cayman! Backside, I wish I was the man who owned it!)…
A middle-aged woman who was at the cashier, holding up the line, stopped her purchasing activity long enough to announce to everyone waiting behind her in the line, : “I am drunk, and I’m not driving!”.
My thoughts on her pronouncement: “Tell someone who cares, woman! Buy your shit and move along fast-fast, so that other people can get a chance to do their thing!”. But of course, I didn’t “wrinkle up my face and screw”! (get a miserable look and attitude) After all, this is Cayman!
Peace, people! I’m out! Have a great weekend! TGIF!

Wow, for a minute, I thought you got lucky
ah think yuh hit a nerve wid yuh office mate they. MAybe she hailing up some other young boy and feeling defensive. Things nowadays in de office cud be tricky, watch yuh back wid she cause next yuh know she tell yuh bout sexual harrassment
i think ya shud see her and doan see her if ya see me. ya vex the wuman, she will cuss ya at the slightest provocation
Who tell you to go down deh go feisty up yourself wid people….u lucky she never put you inna you place fe true! Worse like how you are relatively new on the block…but stop!
Bwoy, when it comes to running joke, I naw do it with people that I am unsure about, people tek offence well easy nowadays.
Hope you can flex some R&R into this weekend.
Yuh look fuh dat cussin’. Woman doh like to get embarass’ by fellas especially in front of people she know.
If it was me I woulda sass yuh back by saying something like,
“how you know ’bout porn like dat, you doesn’t only surf gay sites?”,
but not everybody respond the same:)
Actually, An, that would have been an awesome response! Remind me not to get on your wrong side! No way, sah, me fraid ah you now! Still, if you had said something like that to me, I would have most likely laughed it off, because my skin is pretty thick most of the time… If I had got enough sleep the night before and I had my wits about me, I might have replied to a response such as yours, “Of course I only go to gay sites! Didn’t you know I am a lesbian!”. As I said though, each time that I spoke to her about, I was joking, and I think that I made that fairly obvious. It was just some harmless banter. It was suggested as a joke, certainly not as though it were something I believed… also, the second time that I mentioned it, the other people around didn’t even know what I was talking about. They hadn’t heard anything about the first encounter, so she really didn’t need to get embarrassed, you see… Point taken though, she might have felt embarrassed, tho I don’t see why she would have. I’m not vexed with her over it. Anyway, I won’t trouble her anymore, same way I won’t mess with you, so it should all be water under the bridge…
