Please feel free to ignore my type-o's in my earlier post! I was venting!

#1 - In reference to the closure of Front Street this morning- this was due to the scheduled Throne Speech being held at 11 am. The fact that some people didn't make it in to the office until 11 am had absolutely no bearing on the government at all. I still don't understand why the road was closed with NO WARNING, we've had plenty of other throne speeches that didn't affect traffic at all....

#2 - http://www.royalgazette.com/rg/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7d9b33730030009&sectionId=60 - police bike involved in crash...when I happened upon the accident, it was pretty clear to me that the bike driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into oncoming traffic. The car was still in position on the correct side of the road. That poor driver must have been pretty badly shaken (I do hope the officer wasn't hurt!) - I wonder how many of the 37 collisions involving police vehicle this year also involved the same drivers? That would be interesting to know!

Oh, I don't care about most things but, I am OBSESSIVE of being on time for everything (I know, I know, I moved to the wrong island!)

I don't get into trouble, and don't have to make any excuses about being late....I just am late. No one asks why....

I am LOATHE to find out what happens when we return - my work ethics have been thrown out the window....on the flip side though, I am happy to report that my anal tendancies may never return (I am a recovering workaholic! Now I may actually have interests outside of work! Something else may actually take priority over work sometimes! A little exciting!)

Wiki...you said you don't get into trouble when you late for work..................

Tell that too the truck driver or the janitor or the security or the page that runs errands for you.............or the person that gets your appointments right and does follow up....................

I need a rum.....pass me the bottle...no no not that one.......................

As you say, Kitty, it comes back pretty fast.

One of the reasons my clients in Bermuda loved me was that I'd call to let them know if I was running more than half an hour late... that is so unheard of on the Island it made me stand out like a superstar.

@ Rummy - you are kidding about the truck drivers, right?  I've had them blow me off with the excuse it was raining - in some other Parish!   

Call if you are running late?  In Bermuda?   

I seriously don't know how I'll manage working back in the civliized world.  There should be a refresher course for returning expats.  How to escape from Island time.

That's funny.  A 28 day program to recover from Bermuda.  Sign me up. 

First step: acknowldege we are powerless over Bermudian arrogance and that life isn't about a pink beach.
