Another day another.......?

Hi all, Didn't get to post yesterday due to severe work overload. I have another hectic day today so this will be short. The morning has started with its own set of amusements. Sometimes I wish I had a digital camera to take some of the crap that goes on on our roads. On the way to work this morning a Honda CRV decided that he pays more taxes than everybody so lines are not for him. He proceeds to overtake a whole line of traffic blowing his horn all the way. The upcoming traffic light holds him so everybody he just overtook is right behind and beside him. Light goes green and off he goes again bobbing and weaving from one side of the three lane road to the other. Mind you this is peak hour so nuff cyar deh bout. Another traffic light and we are all beside him again. When we reach to Three Miles intersection he chooses an outside lane and gets caught up behind a trailer so now everybody passes him. I just had to laugh because with all his antics is is actually now in a worse position than if he had just sat in the line and waited. Patience my friends patience. Second incident is on Marcus Garvey Drive heading to my workplace. Suddenly I hear no ends of blowing behind me. Looked in my mirror only to see a Toyota Hiace coming at breakneck speed in and out of traffic. The driver is hanging out the window shouting and waving and beckoning for cars to give him way. Low and behold it is a police van escorting two brand new police cars to some kind of emergency (probably late for breakfast or something like that). Apparently the siren doesn't work so shouting is his method of alerting other motorists. I just laughed. Only in Jamaica!! Well I leave office a bit earlier than usual today. My daughter (I call her The Short One) is attending her school's prize giving. She is to receive two prizes, one for her work in Art and Craft and the other for consistent good work. I will definitely go since she is motivated by that sort of thing. She does not do well at exams and is paranoid that she cannot function like other kids. We have encouraged her and she is really improving. When she did GSAT last year she was not placed at a school of her choice but I managed to get her transferred to another school but the "failure" from her point of view set her back quite a bit. We have again worked with her and here it is less than a year later that she is excelling. She has now proclaimed that she is doing as well as the girl who was at the top of the class last year. Her grades are cosistently good and I think she has now realized that she is as good as any of the girls that got into the school by exam placement. She has really come a long way in one year. Life is pretty OK at this point. No school fees yet but still hoping that something works out. I have Plan B in the wings so we'll see. Addendum: I just remembered...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! to all my American blog bredrins and sistrens. If you feel you have nothing to be thankful for, be thankful that you have life, and where there is life there is hope, hope for a brighter future.
