The iPhone is Here!

The odd thing is that I heard the rumor about it the day before it came out.

Now I have proof. Along with the rest of the world.

On local news, I had no incidents with Nanny last night or today, and I got to work on time and we currently don't have that much orders to fill. I'm expecting much more later.

Take care.

If you click on the pic it should take you the site for this little thing. :) Bye

2nd Day Of The Week.

Well, I've some what survived my second day of working an 11 hour shift.

I had a shouting match with Nandy today. He was back to swearing at me and making me feel like dirt because he did something wrong and I told Lynn when she asked. I trying to make it sound like it wasn't bothering me, but I didn't fool myself. My lips were trembling when I was trying to make it sound like he wasn't that bright and couldn't come up with anything new to say. Say about me, but he found a few new things to hit me with.

I tried to call my sister, but I called Lynn by accident and told her a bit of it. She just told me to ignore him. Easy enough for her to say. He's not shouting at her and calling her curse words. I'm not sorry that I don't swear or like to hear swearing. The boy is an moron who like calling me a Fat F--k whenever he sees me. I've already seen the two of us getting into a fight and one of us dying and one of us going to jail, and that is why I try to keep my distance from the boy. And I do mean boy. In like 3 days I'll be 30 and he's just 20 last I heard.

The only good thing about my day is that I got to talk to Jhodie during my lunch at 4pm. She's mad at him with me now. I was able to contact my new bus driver to come and get me at 9 tonight. I came out and saw him waiting for me with another passenger. And besides all the set backs we had at work today, I still made my quota.

Well I'm off to watch house if I can and set up my bed. I want to get out of the house early tomorrow, but I also want my sleep. At least I don't think that we will be doing over time tomorrow unless we get alot of orders tomorrow.

Well take care. Oh, my birthday is on the 12th. I was thinking of showing up early so I could go over to St. Kitts and hour earlier, but there is no real boat for that time. Shame. Oh well.

Night.

Oh, one more thing. I remembered this on the my ride home tonight. People in Barbados don't tail gate. They love to do that here, but I was nicely surprised when I looked up one day and saw that they gave each other room on the road.

Now I'm gone.

The Sun Always Take Longer to Set When you Don't wash Your clouths.

I didn't wash anything. I thought about it, but that is as far as I got. I'll just pack what is already here and dry.

I don't want to wash my hair, and it's getting later, and later. I did make it out of the house to play with Nika a bit on the pasture. I didn't go out anywhere else today because I didn't want to hurt my ankle.

I didn't really get a paycheck this week since I only worked for 4 days, and then the gov got their cut. I got less than $300. Next paycheck we go back to paying people.

Oh, here is something about Barbados for you. I don't really think they have numbers on their buildings. Your house has a name, and you use landmarks to help people find out where you live or work. It was odd, at least for me any way.

Yesterday we were out for a while, and walked all over town. Mostly because we ran in Lynn not too long after we started into town. We were looking for new school shoes for Nika, and we were able to find them before we ran into Lynn, but we were still pulled into a few places by her. But we were able to witness a bust in the back of Ram's. I still call it that. A lady tried to walk out of Ram's wearing some shoes she didn't pay for. The door check searched her bad and found the shoes that she walked in, in. I think right after I walked out the cops came for her.

We did find some deals in Ram's supermarket. It seems that the "found" some stuff in their warehouse and we got deals on them. :) cool. We went to catch a bust just when the walking was starting to cause my ankle to hurt. We walked around town for about 2 hours or so I think.

Well I have a movie to watch with my sister before getting ready for bed because I have to get up really early to get some money from the ATM before my boat ride to pay for my boat ride.

Well take care. See ya.

Work - and life in Nevis

Hi ya.

Back to the mundane stuff.

First off my first night-day in Nevis. First, I barely made it the pier before 8am just to find out that there wasn't a boat until 8:30. So I hung around with a few people and some tourists that were going over for golf and some sand. Different set of tourists.

I had a little nap on the way over and then got to work with about 10 mins to spear to find out that I was suppose to be at work at 9am. Now I'm told that on holidays you show up at 9am so you get to go home an hour earlier. Gee. Not that it would have done me much good anyway. Since it was a holiday, there was only one boat going over to Nevis that morning. I still couldn't have made it any earlier, and I wasn't going to come over day(s) earlier just to be there for 9am. Not for this job, or this island or this house.

Other than that, I told to hurry up like a little girl being pulled by a babysitter that wasn't a happy about having to babysit you, and trying to meet her boyfriend before he leaves work for home, and she had to make it there in 5 mins.

I couldn't move any faster. I already had log on issues because the rest and over hauled all the systems. I had to find all my user names and passwords for the 5 systems that we use, and then it was things were new to me again. I even forgot what code to use for part of the program. Then I lost an hour because everyone but me came in an hour earlier. I ended at 21 or so, everyone else sounded like they ended off in the 35-45 range.

Then I came home to a house that had no water, three out of seven light bulbs lite up. So have the house was in the dark, and there was no dinner. I took a piece of bread and put some dressing on it and ate that with some water. I guess I'm back on my diet again.

I had to go back outside and turn back on the water to use the bathroom. They can just use what's there and not think twice about it, but I can't. I found out the two reasons why she turned it off. One, the pipe for the sink couldn't turn off so water was just coming out. I went under the sink and turned it off there. Next, it was the toilet again. Some how the leak has gotten worst and if you turn around to long, the little bucket would be over flowing and the floor would be wet. That is what Lynn was really running from. She told me as much, but I thought that I did something to the toilet to stop it from leaking so much so that I could leave the water on, but Lynn got angry at me woke me up, then went outside and turned it off.

Oh, I had interesting accommodations last night. She took apart the bunk bed to make two beds in the boy's room. The guy that hates me and her oldest were not home that night, so I got to sleep in a really bed. I just had to take off the two layers of clothes , and sprayed it down with my body spray to get ride of the smell before I could sleep on it. I hate their smell.

Oh well. It would have been better is she didn't keep putting the lights on in the bathroom after I turned it off. I couldn't sleep. I would wake up every 2 or 4 hours, then 10-15 mins to fall asleep again. One reason why I stayed in bed as long as possible. I still made it to work on time. Even with waking up late, and having to turn the water main on and off.

Well I got to town, took money off the bank. $60 that I would like to make last until Friday. I got three noddles, for three more days off work, and I got some light bulbs. I got to work on time again, and I had all my passwords and such this time and I no longer had to make any call backs.

I didn't have breakfast again, but I got a better tasting packet of noddles for lunch. By the end of the day my count was 34. They were proud of me. I meet my set amount. If I keep this up, I'll be able to keep my job. I was also able to fix one of my orders that errored out in this program that so reminds me of DOS. It's a command based program. Anyway, I did it myself without asking for anyone's help. I wrote down the notes as to how to do it a few weeks before I left for Barbados.

Barbados, which by the way I seem to be missing. I would have liked it if I wasn't there alone, but it was really nice once I got over hating what the embassy did to me.

After work, I got off at town to put money on my phone. Oh, did I mention that I got a cable and wireless phone before I left so my sister could keep in touch with me, and I was tired of waisting so much money calling from a Digicel to a Cable and Wireless phone.

Well I went into the store, and another girl came in from work, and asked for a digicel card and I chimed in and asked for one too. I don't know why I did that. I didn't realize until I went to use it after waiting over 30 mins for a bus. It was too late to go back to where I got, they were already closed. So I started walking to see if I could find a place along the bus route to top up my phone before a bus came by. I didn't get that far. A local stopped for me. I got a ride to Jessup, and was about to walk over to the gas station to top up my phone when bus pulled in behind the guy that just gave me a lift. Lucky me.

Which turned out to be true. I got his phone number and he is willing to come and pick me up when I have to work late, and I can call him to see where he is when I've been waiting too long for a bus on a normal night. YA!

This way, I can go to interviews and just come in later on those Mondays. And then the Monday after my shot date, I can go to nurse to get the good kind of shot. I've had my cycle for over 2 weeks now. I think that I'm 2 days into week 3 now. I'm not happy.

Well I'm back at the waterless, empty plate house, and joy of joys, the "boys" are back, and one is sleeping on my pillow and wrapped in my blanket. EWWWWWW!!!!

Lynn went out to a party and took her oldest. The think the other thing finally left after he turned up his confounded cell phone to plague me for about 40 mins. The youngest was going to go to the party too, but by the time her ride showed up, he was already asleep, so she left him on her bed and left me on the computer.

Well that's mostly it.

Oh, here is something nice I found out tonight. On Dec 31st, the cast of Law and Order, all of them, were at The Four seasons for the fireworks. Lynn was ofcourse more upset about it then I was. I'm not a star struck person, but I do love the shows.

Ok. It's late, and I know that I'm not going to be able to sleep in tomorrow.

Night. Take care, and forgive the typos. Can't back check tonight.

Happy New Year.... for you that is.

Hello.

I'm here, we just had our new years parade and my sister thought that it was over all, it was good except for the for bull players.

We have people that dress up like a cop and bull and maybe a handler. The bull is suppose to get away and more or less "attack" the people watching the parade, and "wokup" on some grown women. "wokup" meaning, simulated hip motion moving in circles to make it kinda looked like sex. It's done quite quickly. The kids they just scare and make them think that they are going to poke them with the horns. Which are real bull horns by the way that are mounted on their red masks.

They just danced around my sister said. They didn't even try to scare the kids and run though the crowds. It was a sore disappointment for her. But we thought that it might have been a bit too much for the tourists, and that they were told to keep it down.

Other than that, it was good I was told. They just about never came to a complete stop, and they moved on to town in good time. They didn't even start the music until an hour or so before they were ready to leave. When I was a child, the music would be going hours before they were ready to leave. Like small pre party.

Oh, I must say that last night was a let down. There was no new years party in town, and to top it off, the fireworks were only at the Marrott again. Town was empty. And way was it empty? It was Sunday, oh that and the fact that the gov wasn't having fireworks in town. In fact we think that they went to the Marrott to watch their fireworks. We walked around with a few people who didn't go to church and when I was able to get a ride to the rich side if of the island where the Marrott was, Jhodie had walked off with someone and I had to turn down the ride. Nika and I found her in the squire after I remembered that we both had phones and mine had on money. So I called her and was quite upset that we missed what turned out to be our last shot at getting a ride over there in time for the fireworks. Then she said that she was wondering on how we would get back to town never mind home once we got there.

So we ended up standing in a parking look close to Port Zante watching the tops of some fireworks coming from the Marrott, along with a few that made it over the hill that was between us and that side of the island. We also got to see the very far off fireworks that were going on in Nevis. They were coming from the Four Seasons Hotel over there. But at least you could take a bus there to see them. Granted, it might have been hard to find a bus over there at that time of night, but I can only hope that they would make that night an exception and do late night runs.

There was just one place open in town other then KFC, and KFC closed it doors at 11. After what was to be seen had been seen, we walked back over to him to get a chicken leg and go home. He ended up offering to take us home if we stuck around for a bit. Considering that there was nothing in town to take us home we said sure. Then 10 mins later, people showed up in town. Not as much as should have been there, but compared to how dead the place was before, it was a major improvement. So that slowed down him leaving, then he started to stock his freezer for the next day which should bring a whole bunch more people.

Well after it seems that he was taking a while I offered to help to get moving since Nika was already asleep on Jhodie. He said yes, and I more or less finished the stacking of the beer in the freezer and some water in a fridge and cleaned up a bit. When I was finished he said that I was rather good. That actually put a shine on my night. That made me think that I could do something like this if I had too. Mentally that is.

So I helped moving a few more things in side, and got the key for the truck so that Jhodie could sit in side with Nika while we finished up. It was kinda cold. out. I know it doesn't come close to matching what people have a bit further north, but for us it was cold.

It turns out that he had cut his hand on something just before I asked to help, so when we were in the truck and heading out, he had to find some band aids. I got out and them for him at this place that was still open at almost 2am. It was 30 cents each for the ones they had, and I said ok, I'll take 10 and that should be $3. The kid didn't believe me and still got it wrong when he tried to add it up himself with the use of the cash register. Shame.

Then we just about ran into Lynn's ride as she was backing out of our street. I went up and asked her for the keys. I didn't say good night or anything. I felt kinda bad afterwards, but then I realized that she wouldn't remember that I didn't say good night and just asked for the keys back. That was the first time I looked right into her face since she showed up earlier that day.

I have been dreading, dreading having to go back to Nevis, and here she is bring Nevis to me. I am this close to walking out on my job so I don't have to go back there and everything thing over there that is set to make my life sour. But I need to keep my job, and to keep it at least until after I get the loan from the bank. Jhodie will be sending out my resume for me so I could change jobs as soon a possible. If they ask for an interview day, I told Jhodie that she would have to ask if it was possible to have it on a Monday morning, and I just in later to work. That just means that I have to get a phone number for someone to pick me from work after or around 9pm. The guy that use to pick me up, has gotten married and will be moving to a different island to live with this new wife this month.

So I have to find a bus to come and get me now. All because the bus "system" closes down at 7:30.

Well, I've washed my stuff and my two bras, and they are outside drying. I have to wash my hair tonight before 9pm hopefully. I'm going to try and post my first set of wallpapers for the year and for a few months now also, and then prepare myself mentally for going back to Nevis.

Ok.. that's it. See ya.

Like I said. I hope you have a very good year. Take care.
