All Woman
April 15, 2007

Timing is everything

THE publishers are understandably peeved, but decisions, decisions: what does one do when the toss-up is between starting the soon-to-be much-sought-after Tatler Tales (volume 1) with the has-been advertising agency head – all set for his monthly colonic lavage – or the event planner conducting courses on the concierge approach versus the geisha?

Whispers in the art circle are already getting louder. Who’ll get the amazing legacy is anybody’s bet since there seems to be more than one ‘intended’.

Seems it’s not just a seller’s market. The butterfly brokerage is balking at the price and those from soca county are awaiting due diligence before they write the cheque.

The staff memo(s) was not just about bun and cheese. there was, in between the slices, subtle mention of the Bajan invasion and now not being the time to strike for more pay. It’s called Same Way So!

And then, there was this one. Staff Caught In the Act. at least change out of your uniform before you make deposits at Island Life Mall.

And we’re just realising that ‘boys’ are so petty. I mean, why give a chilly wynter and boycott the FX chief at the Mandeville Expo.

Theft was running in the millions, so understandably, 99.9 per cent of the staff was fired. Honesty, the company is quickly learning, is a rare commodity in 2007, as the stealing has recommenced even with a brand new team.

Congrats to Saleem Lazarus, who now sits on the Chase Fund board.

And congrats to Mitsie Constantine Seaga, who now boasts three grandchildren. Andrew and Amanda delivered Marcus Ian Edward Seaga on April 1. We imagine Eddie trying his darnest not to smile too much.

A Bientot!

PS: Who says Jamaicans don’t read? Well, they’re reading the link three, four, five times. Naturally, all feedback has been shielded.

PPS: Listen out for the engagement.
