Thursday talk

Hottest topics on the cocktail circuit

Hailing Kelly

1 Some are saying despite their initially slow response to the passage of Hurricane Sandy, JPS president and CEO Kelly Tomblin is emerging as a heroine of the reconstruction efforts, as she has been out there on the road, front and centre, leading her team in getting communities reconnected. Some say her hands-on approach is way better than those who believe leadership is best executed from boardrooms and ivory corporate towers.

Poor work

2 Some are calling for heads to roll in some national organizations as their response in the wake of the passage of the hurricane was woefully inadequate! Some say basic coordination between organisations and supporting agencies resulted in much of the post-Sandy woes now facing some communities.

A blessing?

3 Financial pundits are saying the passage of Sandy may be a blessing in disguise, as they say it gives the Government a chance to recalibrate its economic position, nationally and internationally.

Out! Out!

4 One wife moved the husband's personal belongings out of the matrimonial home a few days after the passage of the hurricane, as during the storm, the husband did not come home that crucial day. She, following her instincts and friends' advice, drove by a certain apartment complex, where his secretary lives, the next morning to see his SUV parked in a corner.

You didn't act

5 Some in the public are saying now is not the time for those in the JLP to be spouting off giving advice, as the public is still conscious of the fact that the party had four years to correct what they are now citing as ills and did nothing about it.
