Labour Day.

It's actually a public holiday today and I'm not on standby duty! I didn't do anything with this opportunity but its nice to know I had the option to leave town and do something other than the usual wait for emergency calls. I'm not sure what other people do on Labour day but I stayed in and did some spring cleaning... just in time for summer :D

I have pack rat tendencies and love to keep any and everything I get. As a result I tend to have box loads of things build up about my apartment, this was all consolidated and I forced myself to throw out a large box load of goodies I deemed unnecessary :(. After all the cleaning was finished and I took a shower I passed out dead from the world.

The world found it fit to let an angry girl call to disturb my sleep only to hang up on me 10 seconds later. Of course this got my blood flowing and further attempts to drop back to sleep were futile so I decided to drop by my post office to check my mail and pass by my landlord to pay my rent.
The post office was empty as usual, I got my favorite parking spot. Who says bloggers are narcissistic?

Umm, you are officially the most bootleg Jamaican I know. Wha yuh mean, you don't know what people do on Labor Day? LMAO.

It's supposed to be a community work day. Clean up roads, parks, churches, etc. I don't think when they created it, they had your apartment in mind, but at least you were productive. LOL.

Labor Day here, we drink ourselves into stupors, put on mud, oil and paint and cram ourselves into a 2 million person target on Eastern Parkway.

@SE: people used to do that out here in the past.. I don't see much evidence of it anymore. You are right though.. I'm not very good at being Jamaican :p

@Cranky: lol the angry girl story is one we have heard many times over:
1. girl gets upset for no good reason
2. girl picks fight she cant manage
3. girl regrets whole thing after her hormones calm down.

I am only a victim :p

@Madbull: Ya it's the best post office in kingston for now :p I <3 my post office.

Labour Day has really lost it's meaning.

Narcissistic? You? Why would you even suggest that? I mean, you have more than valid reasons to use the side of a building to take pics of yourself rather than help to paint some ped crossings on Old Hope Road! :-)

I hardly left the bed all day!

Labour Day has become one of those "tired of work i need rest day." For me, the jobless, it's more "eww regular people are home, dang less water to play in". I did nothing.
