Public Transportation: Getting Africa to Work

I have to say that the morning cab rides are pretty much the only reason I get up in the morning. The thrill and excitement I get waiting for a cab at the corner of Station Rd. and main literally makes me sweat. My cab’s theme this morning was Mariah Carey. I shit you not, this thing even had a bright pink and gold glitter Mariah Carey sticker right above the grill. My friend Jenny pointed it out to me as we got out to walk to work. I also got to ride shotgun, which is always a kick dodging in an out of traffic. You are always the one who is the first to know if something is about to go wrong. The great thing about this cab was that every door was handless on the inside. This made closing the door difficult, as I am sure you can imagine. With Mariah Carey blasting on the stereo and hanging on for dear life as the cab was tossed mercilessly to and fro on the wet road, I just new today was going to be a great day.

And in the end, I even went to the hospital! It was exciting.

Here is The Carvery. It is a restaurant near where I work. Is it just me or does it look like they serve kids here? Like, they will serve you kids. You will eat children. Would you like the flank steak? More like the Frank steak.

Scooby Doo any one?

Also the aquarium in which I work is taking care of a puppy arctic seal. It is pretty much the cutest thing in this entire universe and its real. Unlike any of the crap puppies Kim shows on his Blog! Unfortunately they recovered him dehydrated and hungry so now they force feed him fish filled with life saving drugs and inject fluids under his skin. It’s a gross procedure and leaves the pup looking like he has tumors all over his body. 

All of the MCM employees at 10 o-clock sit down and enjoys a cup of tea during tea club. Here is a candid picture I took so nobody would notice and get mad. They noticed…
So your all wondering why I went to hospital. Well I cut my thumb open really deep, deep enough to get 5 stitches. All i'll say is baby alligator. They have sharp teeth. 

My room has empty walls so I am asking everyone to send me a post card of where you live or something cool looking so i can put them on my wall. It is a little art project i'm doing. 

You can send to this address.
