good morning everyone and Happy Monday!!! a start to another week, hopefully we will have some awesome updates from KG this week .... Let's go KG let's go....let's go KG let's go.....let's go KG let's go....

sick - where are you? I miss your cheerleading lol I hope all is well and you were able to find a job.

welcome togirl!! you have come to the right place....there's a ton of knowledge and support here for you! please do stick and stay ;D

the job thing hasn't been working out for hubby :( he went to a job agency and applied for a specific job, they told him on a Friday he got the job and to go buy work boots then call them to tell them when he is ready to start. We immediately went out and got the boots on Sat, he called on Monday to tell them he could start the next day. They called him later on Monday around 1 pm to ask if he could come to work at 3 pm. He said no, my wife is at work and I don't know how to get there but give me a time for tomorrow and I'll make sure I'm there. They call him Tuesday at 1 pm asking if he could work at 3 pm...he says yes, gets the address and gets ready for work. I leave work early (from another city) to take him to work and when I get the address I find out it isn't the job he applied for or expected to be working at....this job is a little far and a bus doesn't go there. So he goes to work anyway. They keep calling him for this job and he keeps telling them it's too far and he doesn't know the bus system or the city yet...but they continue to call him anyway. They were so desperate for workers they sent a taxi for him on Friday and paid for it....the taxi was $40.00. They call him this morning at 6:30 am asking if he can work at 7 am...seriously??? it takes 25 mins to drive there and that's in good weather with no traffic :mad: then when he says the place is too far he can't work there they ask if he just doesn't want to work. He says of course I want to work but I keep telling you it's too far!! what happened to the job I applied for? they said they are laying people off of that job so he won't be working there. Thanks for telling him!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: So it's back to the drawing board for hubby! I keep telling him he has to explain his circumstances to them but I'm not sure he is. He is used to the Jamaican way of giving the least amount of info he can possibly give lol I keep telling him Canadians don't work that way, you have to be straight forward and to the point or they won't get it!!! lol he'll learn sooner or later.

sorry to rant guys!!! this job thing is starting to get to me :mad:

Aww Nae. ((HUGS)) Hang in there, he will find something suitable soon.

Tell him to just spell it out: the place is far, he is newly-arrived and doesn't know how to get around without assistance yet. If they can't offer any practical assistance with that, then he can't take the job.

thanks for the welcome everyone.

CharlieD10 - for the status update can you revise Tori2011 to read Togirl2011. As well, you can update to show - e-cas shows Application Received and medicals received. same as a few of the others. Thanks

Nae - sorry to hear about the job thing. I've been wondering how my hubby is going to make out. he doesn't have his gr 12 and his ready is terrible. i suspect he may even be dyslexic. I am so worried that he won't find something if he has to go it alone. He has contacted a few folks from back home that now live here and they make it sound so easy to get a job. I sure hope they can follow through when he gets here. I guess when you can't find a job in JA for over a year or longer then they see finding work here as "easy". How have some of the landed spouses been with finding work here?

oh no nae!! I am sorry to hear that. I hope he finds something else soon. How was his first day at work? Did he like it?

I wonder what my hubby will be doing here too? He was a bartender..I really don't want him bartending here. He would be away all night.

Chelly that hotel is amazing!!! I love it . The scenery was so nice...the rocks, the rooms. I checked out the menu and it seems good too!
I am gonna give them a call. Hubby insist we stay in mobay and didn't really love the resort as I did, but I'll make sure to win if it's reasonable hehe

I was hoping it would be me and hubby only, but he wants his family there too... so it turns out it's going to be about 20+ people
boo! I don't like being infront of a large crowd. It's okay though, i'll though it out.


I really wanted wedding in a hotel, but my partner keeps suggestings local places..churches etc..He says it's cost effective and it appears that he is right.. he turned into a groomzilla..lol

You guys confirmed it! It's better to book local as opposed to hotel..
But I am going to check with Charlie for Riu. My last hope hehe

This wedding thing wasn't planned, we are running high and dry. I want a court wedding..but he really doesn't want to do that at all. I don't get it!? it's not a big deal

Did anyone here ever bought their engagement ring in Jamaica? Apparently there is a jewelry store downtown mobay ... and they are nice? Is it true? Is it better to buy in Canada or over there?

Welcome Togirl2011!! I hope you get a speedy process!! I hope there is good news this week!!!!!!!!!!!

Vanny... Tensing pen went above and beyond my expectations... It's so lovely and unique... Check out the pics on www.negrilonestop.com sooo pretty

I managed to talk my husband into going with a private thing because I was hormonal mostly lol... But since my family wasnt fully represented, i thought it was more fair (I didn't want to be the pregnant bride in front of all his alone lol)...also neither of us were on the island (he was in the UK), so it was especially hard to plan and coordinate... I did NOT want to leave my wedding to a hope that it would randomly be okay and we couldn't decide on a venue.... All that (and my hormones) came into play when I suggested going with tensing and their private ceremony with their wedding coordinator... We took his family out for a nice dinner/celebration at little ochi a few days before we headed to Negril....
I don't regret having the wedding as we did and I don't think he does either... It was beautiful and special without being a circus lol.. Just what my inflated behind needed lol if you want to see my pictures let me know... The photographer did good too (and was included in the price)

Nae... Sorry about the job situation with hubby, hope it sorts out soon!

I've got a house full of sickie and it seems I'm the only one who it couldn't take out (so far at least!)... The baby got it the worse and I'm hoping he can improve quickly... Just got a half bottle of pedilyte in him, cross fingers...

Take care all.. Kingston NEXT!
