hey t&t what’s more painful?
In spite of warnings,
nothing much happens
until the status quo
becomes more painful
than CHANGE.

rant of the day
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything Trinidad. To tell the truth since my return I haven’t read any of the Trinidad newspapers. There’s so much you could preach about change in T&T, and if the majority of the people aren’t willing to change then it’s an up hill battle for the few who do want change.
Is there any hope and change for T&T? Racism in Trinidad blinds the way to vote for any change that might be for the better or good of the country. Trinidad is being spoon fed bull shit by the present government and yet they are still in power. They are robbing the country of its wealth and filling their pockets, while the poor suffers. The hospitals and schools are lacking basic supplies. The police untrained and uneducated. They protect and serve not the people, but the people who are threatening the lively hoods of the law-abiding citizens. Crime is at its highest. The government offices are a joke and customer service stinks. The people refuse to follow the laws of the country. Are there any laws? There’s still a slave mentality in Trinidad. Serve the white man and kiss his ass and treat your own skin color like crap. I mean good grief, could it be any more blatant. The things I heard and saw while I was there made me think twice about returning to live.
I’m going to be very honest, if it wasn’t for my family still living in Trinidad, under no circumstances would I return. So much for my hope and change. I’ve become, ‘one of them’ who think they are too righteous to return to Trinidad, because I am living in another’s man land and obeying his laws…*sigh*
That’s my rant of the day!
Please note: My issues, concerns, and observations does not apply to everyone in Trinidad. There are people who want change, who treat paying customers with respect, who serve all without prejudice, who adhere to the laws, (the little that we do have) and who are tying to better the country. Kudos to you!
Going the extra mile…a little dose of inspiration
My professor posted this video and I thought I’d share it. It’s about customer service, something we desperately need to improve in Trinidad.

And here’s another nice video about customer service…You can’t send a Duck to Eagle School.

Hopefully someday WE CAN CREATE A CUSTOMER SERVICE CULTURE IN SWEET TRINIDAD.
