Multi-Tasking While Driving

There are lots of laws concerning driving on the road, like don’t drink and drive, wear a seat belt, and even the most recent law passed this summer in Ontario that says no hand-held devices allowed by the driver. So what happens when someone watches porn?

I was on my way to work this past summer and I stumbled upon a news article talking about a man who was watching porn while driving. Not only was he watching porn, but he was speeding 40km/hr over the speed limit. Big surprise, HE’S NIGERIAN. It’s a good thing that the newspaper did not indicate that he was black, talk less of being Nigerian.

The reason I knew he was Nigerian was because of his name, you see, as typical as African names are; I was able to point out that the guy was Edo. Is it me or is it weird that someone can watch porn at the same time multi-task? They never really said if he was masturbating too. Lol.

Attached below is the link to the news article

Workplace vs. School



It's been a while since I got to blog about anything. The summer job was taking most of my time and I'm getting prepared to go back to school and all.
I'm kinda excited to be going back to school, although I know I stand to face a lot of stress.
I'm the only black person in my class out of 75 people and any black female who didn't grow up in Canada will notice that it is pretty hard to be on the same thinking level as the white people you may meet in school.
Let's just say I don't have that many friends when I'm in school.

Relating to my topic, I was just thinking about how different school is from the workplace.
I have friends who are into the whole "I need to be of a specific kind of level and status among my peers",
"I am the guy or girl around campus" or "I don't feel like going to my first period, I just sleep in a little bit"
I'll have to admit that I'm just as guilty concerning the last statement.

In the workplace, no one really cares who you are or whom you were in school.
This is work and it is real life. You can't just say you are sleeping in cause you tend to lose out on the pay for the days you miss. You also have to learn how to kiss your boss's ass.
The only beneficial things are that you get to have "workplace experience" and get paid.

So although i do not really have as much friends in school, i'm broke most of the time,
Stressed all of the time, and go through the anxiety of exams.
I try to savor the moment, cos it doesn't get any better in the workplace
