Vacation




"Vacation!"

Let that 80's song play through your head...
June 2008 has been a great month! My vacation with friends and family in various and often spectacular, parts of the USA has been fantastic, fun and unforgettable.

Dealing with a stressful boss



Hi

If you happen to stumble upon this 'venting' and it strikes a chord, feel free to post a comment.

I love my job, I really do, but my immediate boss can be soo difficult, obnoxious and manipulative, that I have felt frustrated beyond belief sometimes.

Yet, the unpredictability of my job as a reporter, the opportunities to go places, meet people, make a difference in someone's life, all make the bad times pale. :-)

That's why I thank God for giving me the strength and wisdom to see through the crap that my EP pulls, to what I truly have to offer the company and my career.

Windies cricket


If you're a Windies fan (that's West Indies cricket team to the rest of you) then the almost white wash of Sri Lank right here in the Caribbean was great!!

It's been so long since the team won a test match or took a one day series.

:-)

The most memorable win I think had to be at the Queen's Park Oval (here) in Trinidad on Thursday April 10th 2008...Shivnarine Chanderpaul needed to make 10 runs off the last 2 balls.

Mathematically he could do it by hitting a 4 and a 6 or two 6s...and I was at work glued to the TV hoping and praying that he hit a 4 and a 6.

And you know what?? HE DID!!! Chanderpaul hit a 4 then HAD to hit a 6 to win the One Day match.

The West Indies won that ODI (One Day International) on the last 2 balls of the last over of the match!! Phenomenal!!

And if you know anything about the team's past few years...this was huge!! :-)

Shows on MSNBC



I've always enjoyed watching several shows on MSNBC.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com

(Just click on MSNBC TV)

These shows are, in random order...Morning Joe (Joe Scarborough), Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Hardball with Chris Matthews and Verdict with Dan Abrams.

(See the pictures above, in order of mention)

You can learn a lot about American politics and current events from these shows and the regular news updates in between.
