Carnival Monday - J'ouvert
Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: Shurwayne Winchester - Look d De Band Commin
Topic: What A Time
The Outside Broadcast Van Alexia Alexia, her Mister and her friend Gymlee It's been an eventful morning. My first J'ouvert this part of Port-of-Spain. And I'll'll say it was interesting.

Back To Work
Mood:  hungry
Its my first day back to work. Its going to be a long haul. From today until the 15th of February. 13 shifts, with a double next week Tuesday and Friday. I don't mind the extra work. The more work means more money. On top of which, employee evaluations are in progress. If i'm not evaluated during this period, it means that i'll not be comming on staff. Good thing that I have plans to do some computer courses and get into the I.T. sector. Rught now its 9:10pm in about 50 minutes time i'll be in the hight of the news at ten.
