.................Fellow Employees......................

I work with about 20 Bahamians and I am the only white person on the island till the guests arrive. Almost all are quite young, either out of high school, or just dropped out. All are from fairly poor backgrounds, i.e. the GHETTO. Most of their day is spent watching me work, calling me ‘white boy’ and ‘white nigga’, and talking about robbing people, cutting people with ‘cutlasses’, aka machetes, sex, jooking people, aka shanking or stabbing, drugs, fighting and hustlin’ to make some money. A lot of them have gold teeth and one even has a grill. All of them have excessively stupid tattoos, some of them done by their friends and some they actually paid for. Off the top of my head I can remember these, the R from Ruff riders, Get and Money on opposite forearms, Life and Thug on opposite forearms, backwards just like that, G-unit, bizzy bone, Teko, his name, that looks like it was written by a kid crooked down his arm, a ninja star, tears running down a face, lil’ kim and I’m sure there are more. I think I will get tatted up soon, maybe a large dollar sign or a bullet with 187 under it, not sure but I sure it will be sweet. Overall, it is a swell little island to work at.
