Bombs blow in London

Here I am thinking I was escaping all this terrorists bullshit in NYC. But nooooooooooooooo, seven bomb explosions happened in London today. I'm about 50 miles away so nothing affected me at all, just like in NY. My cousin is currently working for the London underground, equlivent to our NYC's MTA. But today is his birthday and like me, he does not work on his birthday. Thank GOD! Well the details are in the articles if you chose to read them. All I know it that train were popping, busses were popping, right in the middle of London. Even my our cousin, his sister works in London, she is ok.

Damn man, what a nigga to do? Go back to Jamaica where the only terrorists are the gun man. I can deal with that, they will tell you they going to shoot you, but the terrorists here just blow shit up anytime, anywhere.

Well nothing much to write about, still in the gym working hard. gimme a year and watch out Tyson. Peace!!

Ain't that some UK shit.......

Well to tell the truth I'm not sure if it is some UK shit, but I personally never heard of it. I just found out today that we get paid monthly, now that shit just fucked up my whole budget. Yeah I got a budget, I moved here on some savings and budgeted it down to the day, well it was budgeted for rent if I missed any. Well it happens that I was out of work for 2 weeks while paying rent, so that makes me 2 weeks behind on my rent budget. Then I started my training to work at the post office here, then I asked them how often we get paid, thinking its on a 2 week, the most basis. But nooooooooooooooo it fucking monthly. Yo rent is due the 15th of every month, and I set up a direct debit from my account, so they can't play that you paid late game on me. But I dipped in my savings since I thought it would be a month till I seen some more money, but nooooooooo, they on some 4 week shit. So that means that since I started the 26 of last month I will get my first check around that day, which is past the rent due date, if anyone missed that. Now right now I had it planned for the money t come either this friday, now I have to dip again, damn! I'm not complaining, but if they fucking told me I would have hustled some money from somewhere else.

Now I ask have anyone had a job that pays monthly?? I'm saying what if this was my first job and I had no money, if you wait a whole 30 day till you hit me off with my hard earned money and I couldn't afford to work 4 weeks for you what would happen? Someone please educate me on this shit. It bad enough that 2 weeks most people wait, but 4, Now that's some UK shit, or is it?

Week done

Well the week has passed by slowly but surely. This week I've been in training, training to work in the Post Office here in the UK. The people that deliver mail here are the Royal Mail people, who was once owned and controlled by the Queen's family, many years ago. The Post office is like an outlet for them, they sell their stamps and their services. Well I'm in training to work on the register or till, that's what they call it here. Well it's been a week of training and it;s a cross between working at a bank and working at a stores register. There are soo many financial services they offer it's crazy. But it's been good so far, learned enough to be good after about 2 months of working.

I really don't have much to say about this week, been very boring having to drive back and forth to work in the right side of a car in the left lane. My mind is going to break down one day. Even when I'm driving I see myself driving on the other side of the street, while my body still has control enough to keep me on the left. I don't know how I keep my mind and body separated all the time. I'm telling you driving here is very weird. I'm not use to all the round-a-bouts. I received directions on how to get to the training place, and they tell you to turn left, turn right, but there are like 3 to 4 different exits on a round-a-bout. So I find myself going in circles because I think I've missed my exit and need more time to read the signs by them. That happened the first 2 days driving, now I'm a expert. But I'm use to one off ramp and then a left and a right, or one on ramp to the highway. Trust me is you every come here and attempt to drive anywhere yourself, plan ahead of time, like 2 hours ahead, I guarantee you will take a wrong exit or turn and will be driving in the wrong direction and not even know it. Then the exits are like 5 or 6 miles apart, yes they are I swear. I passed my exit one day and want to turn around and still got lost because the round-a-bouts might not let you make a u-turn, it might lead you to another road all together. Now that's some UK shit.

But I sit here watching The Simpsons, cooking my dinner, and getting my Hine chilled ready to drink after dinner, yes ladies I can cook. I soon will be cooking my Jamaican foods for myself soon. As soon as my money starts rolling in. Peace!!
