Where in Jamaica does your friend live, Laura?
Whitehouse in Westmoreland. I don't know much about the area except that he says it is very pretty and on the water. His dad passed last year and he now spends a lot of time there because he owns a convenience store and gas station. The siblings take turns going to Jamaica to take care of the business because they all live in the states.
It is tough to give an objective first impression as a board member that had a fixed impression prior to meeting you F2F. The short version might be, even more awesome in person!
Vonnie has posted an unofficial guide to flu season on LJ. She'll probably save a few lives sick days for people.

I am dying to know where in hell he got his misinformation, and if my appearance bolstered or undercut my apparent position.
Negril is in Westmoreland, and those are our most beautiful beaches. But if he lived in Negril, he'd have said Negril, I bet. Still--there's lots of good options. AFAIK I think the only risk is that I think they like their jerk wet.
He said Whitehouse for sure. I think it is a fishing area. No doubt DH will want to see every inch of the island if when we visit. I have a more limited interest in rum and beach. And seeing Sean of course.
Went to a great work event tonight, that makes me wish I did more cultural things in general. I mean, there are speakers and shit all over the place! And usually I just come home and watch Storage Wars or whatever.
GA:
Is it bad that I'm finding that attempt at Sons of Anarchy characters very funny.
I am stupefied by the myuhc website. I would really like to be able to search by claim number, but apparently you can't really search of everything--you can only filter lists and browse until you get to what interests you.
And, dear lord, this is the most opaque language ever. I need to have a heart to heart with support personnel and have them walk me through the EOBs I owe money on, so I can put together the appeals properly. I'll need to go to the pain doctor, since he's most of what was rejected, and I only want to do that once.
I swear--all the language is formulated to look like I don't owe (much) money, but the digits--the digits tell a different story.
Anyway--this can wait at least one more day, if not until next week. I need to go home.
"Yes, ma'am?" Yeah, still mortifying.
Anytime I work with a southern boy I have to just accept that they say that and try not to cringe too much. The worst was the one guy who would say that in emails, but spell it "mam". I've also had female students who called me "Miss [first name]" but I'm not sure if that's a southern thing or a dance student thing." I know they're just trying to be respectful but it still feels odd to me.
I've been at work for 12 1/2 hours and I have 3 more to go. Could someone speed the clock up a little?
Please let me remember I have a 7AM conference call tomorrow.
