PEOPLE LIVING in a close-knit district are wondering why the Welfare Department has been paying the rent for an able-bodied young man for the past six months.
They are upset that taxpayers’ money is being used to accommodate this man who limes on the block for most of the day.
They want to know if any investigations were carried out to determine the true situation of this man, who earlier this year was hiding out from a certain drug-pusher after not paying up and dodging a man who gave him some merchandise to sell.
Neighbours say this man is nothing but a con artist who has obviously succeeded in conning his way into getting welfare.
Workers in charge
CEMETERY WORKERS have once more proven they are large and in charge.
A day this week, when their bosses were out attending to various matters, they called the head office at 9:30 a.m. to complain that they were ready to go home after what they considered a day’s work – actually two hours of work since they started at 7:30 a.m – and there was no one there to sign them out.
Instead of being told to wait until their supervisor arrived, they were sent on their merry way.
People are wondering if these workers are allowed to dig their own graves without falling in because certain managers believe they need them in their corner in order to climb the corporate ladder.
In control of the slots
PEOPLE WHO frequent the arcades want to know how a certain driver could take so much time off from work to play the slots.
Apparently, this woman is seen in the arcades morning, noon and night dressed in her uniform, gambling. She is there on her off-days, during breaks, and even during her lunch hour.
Her colleagues are wondering why management does not apply the brakes on this driver before she brings the name of the company into further disrepute.
Tree-mendous loss!
DRIVING INSTRUCTORS and even students are hopping mad because a tree at the Licensing Authority which was used for many years to provide shade has been cut down.
From what we understand, some instructors made a lot of noise and have even threatened to make an official complaint about the tree-cutting.
One man said the tree with its long, overhanging branches was the only source of shade for the hard-working instructors as they wait for licensing officers in the car park.
Note to singer
LAST WEEK a certain songbird publicly let all her Facebook friends know that she and her husband were no longer together because he wanted her to give up her career as a singer.
Immediately she received many sympathetic responses but later that day she apparently had second thoughts and told her friends not to send her any more messages.
Didn’t it occur to her that once she put the information out there in the public domain – on the social media – that people would have commented?
Next time, lady, keep your business to yourself.
