Yardies a home and a farrin, Part 25!

Nat, Steve has never made you highly upset before? What did you do?

...

Sometimes when people are upset it's HARD to stay calm...

A few times. I mentioned an example yesterday where my reaction was to fuss, loudly.

Last week, I got quite upset because we were supposed to study for his test together, but he spent the entire evening (5pm to 10:30pm) outside with the neighbors, despite my numerous soft-spoken hints about the fact that I planned to go to bed at 11, so we needed to get started. By about 10:30, my frustration had built tremendously, because I felt he wasn't respecting my time or need to sleep, and because he wasn't putting first things first (7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Habit #3). It was also inconceivable to me to have a test coming up and not put in effort to study. (Then again, I've always been an overachiever & was my high school valedictorian.).

I knew that he wouldn't want me to fuss when he got in, so instead, I took it out BEFORE he came in. I shrieked my frustrations out to the empty apartment so that when he came in, I'd be calm. What I didn't know was that he and his neighbor friends could all HEAR me. He was quite upset about it, saying that I made it seem like he was beating me or something. I said, they couldn't possibly think that since I was inside & you were STILL outside with them. So I thought I was doing a great thing by taking it out in advance & then being calm when he came in, but.... it didn't work out quite that way.

Maybe I shouldn't have even let it bother me, since he's grown & if he's not concerned with scoring 100s on the tests, then I should just let it be. But I feel like I work hard to make the money that paid for the class so it is frustrating when he doesn't put in as much effort as I would put in were it my class.

MrsTee you talk everyday all day. You'll always get hearts!

She had her friend's kids over.

Also, do you know why he'd want to speak with his teacher and not anyone else, because I thought you said he wasn't interested in counseling...

You seriously think he'll leave if you buy him a ticket???

Who did you give a fake kfc cert to?

A little piece of Jamaica still flies:

Dear Air Jamaica Passengers,

As we prepare for the transition of Air Jamaica and Caribbean Airlines to one stronger Caribbean airline, we want to assure you that our operations will continue as usual. In fact, we already have thousands of passengers booked and continue to get more each day. Our March load factor was over 75% and through April 12 the load factor has increased to 85% for the month of April.

New Transition Date

It has been confirmed that the deadline for the Transition Services Agreement between our two airlines is now extended to April 30, 2010. On this date, we expect the transition arrangement to be fully in place. As you would imagine, the negotiations are complex, but we are doing everything to secure the interests of our customers throughout what will be a seamless transition period, which may last up to 12 months.

Reservations and Tickets Honored

All reservations made and tickets purchased will be honored. We will continue to use the “JM” code, our current regulatory authorizations, the current fleet of aircraft, and maintain many of our current employees. So, you can continue to book Air Jamaica with confidence knowing that the usual processes are still in place.

All contact information remains the same – Reservations 1-888-523-5585 in North America; 1-888-FLY-AIRJ (359-2475) in Jamaica or visit us at www.AirJamaica.com.

You will also redeem your reward miles as you have done in the past, for round-trip airline tickets, and Lovebird Executive Class Upgrades.

Schedule

Air Jamaica still offers the most flights between Jamaica and Fort Lauderdale, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Toronto as our spring schedule goes into effect on April 12 with 161 weekly flights.

Cargo Services Continue

Air Jamaica continues to have the most cargo capacity, with service between Jamaica and all of our destinations. We will also continue our freighter service between Miami and Kingston, three times each week.

Let me assure you that Air Jamaica, the little piece of Jamaica, STILL flies with the usual Lovebird Hospitality that you expect, and customers will not see any visible difference during the initial transition period. We will also continue to offer the best deals in town, so visit us at www.AirJamaica.com for our lowest fares. In fact, I am reliably informed that an extra special deal will be available to you in a few days, so get ready to take full advantage of this.

We Want You On Board.
