PUDDING & SOUSE: Upstart has upper hand

Date:

Share post:

A WOMAN acting in a senior position for years is under heavy attack from a politico’s outside woman who was recently sent to the same office.

All the way up to The Pine, the human resources department has to be refereeing matches between these two.

Workers say each time they are called into HR, the politico’s woman darts off into the washroom and starts spraying with obeah oil and scattering duppy dust to win over the spirits to her realm.

And, lo and behold, when they go before the HR manager, the veteran senior staffer can’t get a word uttered, don’t care how hard she tries.

The upstart then capitalises on this moment of speechlessness and drives home her points and appears to be in full control of the situation. It is driving the senior to the threshold and she is not handling it well. Some fear that the outcome will not be a good one for the decent, self-respecting woman.

Others are sure that she needs to “plead the blood” in the future before she goes into any meeting with the upstart, who holds the hand of a politico and Satan, though some say they are one and the same.

Baby-maker on No. 11 

A NON-NATIONAL WOMAN who is getting ready to deliver her 11th child has tongues wagging.

Friends are wondering if she knows who the child’s father is since at least four men are writing their names in her book.

The small shop in which she lives is not large enough to accommodate the two girl children who live with her, but she is preparing to bring another child into the dump heap.

Residents swear that this time they will be calling the Child Care Board to have the matter addressed since the shop is unfit for human habitation.

They have ruled out the proprietor since he is already fathering a ready-made jacket from her, but eyes are on either the man with the same nickname as her, the new-found love who hangs around the school near to her home (shop) or the one who holds lots of malice towards people.

Residents are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this scenario since there is a for sale sign on the shop and the woman has nowhere to go.

Tired of warring gran

A GRANNY in the north is kicking up a stink and residents have had enough and want the authorities to act now.

At 82 years old, this pensioner is cursing her young relatives like water flowing from a fountain and calling the police for them. Yet, every Sunday, she is licking down the doors of the church to get in there first. Some say she thinks that the Almighty is asleep and unaware of her doings. Even her brown-skinned friend who borrowed her money and has not paid it back is shifting her because of her wicked ways.

Residents are begging her to stop causing strife among her family and go to the six cross roads and get a bush bath to wash away her wicked ways.

Forgetful EMTs

RESIDENTS OF A St Michael district were full of praise for the Ambulance Service recently because an ambulance arrived on the scene less than five minutes after being called.

Out rushed two emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and professionally administered aid to the ailing woman.

When residents realised the rushing around was coming to an end and saw the two EMTs huddled together talking, they wondered what could be wrong, only to be told that in their rush to get to the scene, the EMTs had forgotten the stretcher back at the Bay Street headquarters.

With the permission of the family they then put the old lady on the panel on the inside and strapped her in. With siren blaring, they were gone in as much of a hurry as they had come.
