Sharing "Messing With Otis" YouTube Video Clips #1-5

Hello Everyone! In addition to promoting my podcast episodes, I post cute and funny video shorts with my fur babies Daisy & Otis on my YouTube channel. I know people like animals as much as we do. So, I often share a bunch of clips with the dogs during various family events. My sons Tom & Jho begged for dogs almost a decade ago. Dogs require a lot of care, attention, and responsibility. They also bring loyalty, joy, happiness, and become a member of our pack. I relented and hooked them up with furry family members. The Daisy & Otis duo have been in the family since 2012. Daisy was born on November 20, 2011 and Otis was born on December 10, 2011. They go everywhere with us. I bring them into the grocery store when it is too warm to be in the car. They go right into the shopping cart. I think they have been with other folks only temporarily while I went to Florida a few times. Other than that, they travel with us everywhere. They are both mature now yet still spry. I know it will be a tragedy when they take the trip over the rainbow bridge in the future. For now, we all enjoy each other's company. Now that my son Tom is an adult, he has Otis with him. I have Daisy with me. I wanted to share some recent videos with my gang when we took a brief trip out of town.
Here are the Messing With Otis Clips #1 to 5 on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BnTSToTSs5c https://youtu.be/Fx840f97_Pg https://youtu.be/LINwYzGSxsk https://youtu.be/rEmn4Xarx4I https://youtu.be/qgX4ZsgljeY I hope you get a laugh or two from my Daisy & Otis YouTube video shorts. As always, you have many options throughout the globe. Thanks for stopping by my blog to check out my various content. I wish you a great Wednesday afternoon and the rest of the week! Cheers!

I Have Two Spotify Podcast Channels. Sharing The New Spotify, Pocket Casts, & Anchor Profile

Hello Everyone! In order to get onto Apple Podcasts (as I shared yesterday), I have to use a hosting platform. I also had to create a podcasts account with iTunes Connect. I am using Soundtrap to create the podcast episodes. Soundtrap doesn't use an RSS feed. They just integrate the podcasts onto Spotify since the two companies are connected. I stumbled upon Anchor via converting this WordPress blog into an audio format. Anchor is also connected to Spotify. At the time, I didn't realize the amount of features that Anchor has to offer. I feel like I accidentally stumbled upon a gold mine of tools! On top of the treasure of tools, you get an opportunity to make money via ad revenue. Therefore, I chose Anchor since it is free and the hosting platform distributes your podcast to many other platforms besides just Spotify. In addition to creating your own iTunes Connect path to Apple Podcasts, you get automatically launched onto: Breaker, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Radio Public. As a result, I will technically have two Spotify channels for The Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie M. Jasper & Melissa Polito. The way you can tell which channel will be via the old channel uses just our first names and the new channel uses both first and last names. Obviously, I am winging this as I move along. I wish I knew all of this ahead of time. I plan to keep both Spotify channels up to date. That is unless some unforeseen circumstances prevent me from doing so. With the 2nd Anchor profile that I created yesterday, the new podcast channel will be gradually added to more platforms. I sure hope I am saving somebody some time launching their own podcast with reading about my struggle to launch mine. Hopefully, I am serving as a more streamline roadmap to creating a podcast? As of checking it today, here is the new Spotify podcast channel: https://open.spotify.com/show/52xBe1cGlvu3YCCicEOfCj The Verbally Disastrous Podcast & Construction Tales Audio Blog is already on Pocket Casts with a white logo that says "The Audio Blog". Here is the link to the new Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie M. Jasper & Melissa Polito that is also now on Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ememoels The Verbally Disastrous Podcast & Construction Tales Audio Blog is already on Anchor. Here is the Anchor profile for The Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie M. Jasper & Melissa Polito: https://anchor.fm/vd-leslie-m-jasper I am watching periodically, like an expectant father, and waiting patiently for iTunes Connect to load my podcast onto Apple Podcasts!! I found the Audio Blog on Apple Podcasts last night and shared. I was beyond thrilled about figuring it out! However, I am still waiting for the podcast to load. I will then share and load it to my Anchor profile. As I stated in the previous post, let me know if you have an Apple podcast so I can go support it as a new member. As always, you have many options for content around the globe. I am honored that you have chosen to stop by my projects to review them with your precious time. I wish you a productive Wednesday and the remainder of the work week. Cheers! Leslie M.

I Just Found The Audio Blog On Apple Podcasts!! Yay!!

Hello Everyone! I am soo excited to find my audio blog on Apple Podcasts!! I know 50% of the podcast market lies within Apple Podcasts. Anyone who is into podcasting is a fool to ignore the Apple Podcasts platform! I had to figure out the process to make it happen. It involved a lot of elbow grease with creating profiles on Anchor & Apple, downloading episodes off of Soundtrap, loading to Anchor, then submitting the Audio Blog to Apple for approval. I have an Apple account that I was locked out of for years! I didn't type in the security questions properly, kept trying different variations, get locked out, try again, get locked out, try again, etc. for a few days. At first, I thought my son created the security questions back when he used his Mac book and loaded the #ConstructionTales e-book for me on iTunes. I had to pick his brain to double check his responses. Funny this is, as mom, I knew the responses to the security questions. If you do not know the security questions or spell them properly, you are absolutely dead in the water!! I was beyond frustrated with this whole process by this point! I wanted to tap into this market so bad!!! Having it unresolved has bothered me so intensely this week! Today, it came to me to try to type it in a certain way and it actually worked!! I was off with the races trying to finish the rest of the process!! To see the WordPress audio blog finally appear on Apple Podcasts is beyond rewarding to see tonight!! Here is the link- making it's debut on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-verbally-disastrous-podcast-construction-tales-blog/id1557400362
I hope I properly conveyed how much work this was to load onto Apple Podcasts!?! I have learned, over the years, to be more patient and figure things out. As much as I beat myself up over not getting it sooner, I know there are many who would not be able to figure it out. As I stated in the previous post, let me know if you have an Apple podcast so I can go support it as a new member. I wish you a peaceful Tuesday and the remainder of the work week. Cheers! Leslie M.

I Have Created A 2nd Anchor Profile & Submitted The Verbally Disastrous Podcast to Apple Podcasts!

Hello Everyone! I had previously shared that I submitted The Verbally Disastrous Podcast & Construction Tales Audio Blog to Apple Podcasts. I have to follow up on that submission. I didn't stop there. I found out that Soundtrap doesn't have an RSS feed for loading to Spotify. Soundtrap only integrates onto Spotify. I require a hosting platform in order to get my podcast onto Apple Podcasts. I usually use Chrome as my browser for my transactions. I had to use Internet Explorer and created a second Anchor profile. I then used the Anchor's RSS feed and submitted The Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie M. Jasper & Melissa Polito to Apple Podcasts:
I am unsure as to how long it will take to become available on Apple Podcasts. I am thrilled that I was patient and found the path to do so. If you have an Apple Podcast, let me know so I can show my support as a new person on the platform. The objective is to get on as many platforms as possible. I was joking with my friends and family that my goal is to become the next female Joe Rogan. As always, I thank you for stopping by to check out my content. You have many options in the world and I am honored that you have chosen my content. Have a restful Tuesday evening and the rest of the work week ahead! Cheers! Leslie M.

Submitted My Audio Blog to Apple Podcasts!

Hello Everyone! I am just briefly sharing that I am working on the audio blog becoming an Apple Podcast! I just submitted it to Apple just now for review and approval. I used the Anchor website, created a profile, converted all blog posts to audio form, and attached "Listen on Spotify" icon to each post. The audio blog is now available on 5 other platforms besides Anchor. I created a podcast profile using my Apple ID credentials. I grabbed the RSS feed from the Distribution section on Anchor. I put the RSS feed onto the podcast form to validate. The audio blog popped up and you push submit. If you are an Apple Podcast person, I am working on being on there so you can listen to the blog all over the world. Let me know if you are already an author/host of an Apple Podcast and I will show my support. I have two more platforms to try to get on that is: Overcast & Castbox. The #VerballyDisastrous podcast is next to get onto Apple Podcasts. I have to figure that one out. In the meantime, you can hear the audio blog on Spotify, Anchor, Breaker, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Radio Public. I am excited to figure out how to do this task without asking my son for help. Being solo on projects is awesome! As always, I thank you for stopping by to check out my content. You have many options in the world and I am honored that you have chosen my content. Have a good Tuesday and the rest of the work week ahead! Cheers! Leslie M.

Sharing My Two Weird Dreams In The Past Week

Photo Credit: Cartoonstock Hello Everyone! I have had some really weird dreams in my lifetime. I have had dreams that range from making waste/fecal matter pancakes, hiding in a war torn high rise building in the Middle East, standing in a hallway talking to deceased family while a rainstorm was pouring buckets of water on my head through a gap in the roof, watching in terror as a tornado rips a big white building in half while I am in one end, to some end of world zombie apocalypse. In the past week, I have had two new weird and scary dreams. Usually, the dreams are more spread out between each occurrence. It is unusual to have two weird within the span of one week. I sometimes worry about my dreams since they can sometimes foretell ahead of a bad event. I believe that the two recent dreams are just some subconscious fear that I am not aware of on a conscious level. I do tend to Google dream interpretations in order to get an idea of what my dreams mean during my awake life. I had a dream over the weekend where I am in a location that I do not recognize and with a woman that I also do not recognize. I was walking behind this woman and she was discussing the location and giving me a tour and giving me instructions. While she was in the middle of the tour, shots rang out and she was hit multiple times. She was peaceful, calm, and rather nonchalant noticing that she was even hit. It was almost like she was aloof about being fatally hit with bullets before she collapsed. I know part of it was shock and disbelief. However, she didn't raise her voice or show any panic whatsoever. I am standing over her in my own disbelief for a millisecond!! Thoughts were racing through my mind after the lady collapsed. Why was she shot? Were these bullets intended for someone else? Was it intended for me? Where is the gunman? Did the gunman now leave? I instantly dropped down to my knees and tried to crawl to a safe spot as fast as possible. In the dream, the scenario was rather dark in the beginning with some rays of light. When I was crawling, it felt like I was crawling towards a tunnel with a faint white light at the end. I then abruptly woke up and didn't get to see anything further in the dream. I felt relieved that it was only a dream. Even after looking up dream interpretations, I still cannot figure out what this dream meant at it's core. I just woke up this morning to a second very interesting dream. A laundry list, for some damn reason, was typed up of all of my past lovers in my entire life. This past lover list was a very detailed with first and last names, nicknames, phone numbers, dates, relationship durations, and "field notes" on each relationship. This highly embarrassing and very salacious list was posted with my picture on the internet. I was contacted by a friend who had stumbled upon this distasteful list on the internet. I go to check out the list, I was absolutely mortified!! This list long and was inflated with names, data, and details that were not even true! Out of the entire dirty laundry, there was only a kernel of truth on the list! The worst part is that I was accused of some monstrosity of a whore house black list that I have not even been able to live out in real life! It made me look really ugly with my actions and I was bothered intensely by the published list of lies. Do you know what was the worst part? I was mortified of the concept of my two sons discovering this embarrassing nugget of exaggerated filth!! I have made it my life mission to not openly parade men that I have dated in front of my sons. My sons grew up in a house where a man was only present if I believed the relationship was solid and heading towards long term or marriage. Never mind either of them ever catching the man in my bed while they were in the house!! There was a clear line in the sand with a heavy barbed wire boundary between my sons and any man I have dated. I have always firmly believed that my early dating life was super private and not meant for the eyes of my children. I became a widow very young. I didn't date men as a means to lure in a man to sustain myself. In hindsight, I should have gone that route. It would have made my life much easier...LOL. (I am kidding) I used to work 120/hours a week for a few years after my husband died to survive and keep my home. Getting myself to a clear, healthy, mental space to date as a widow was a quite challenge for a few years of my life. Trying to even carve out time in my old hectic multi-job single mom schedule to date was rough back in the day. I must add that I am not a "prude" or a "nun" by any means either. However, I value myself as a good women who has been respectful with my reputation as a woman. This is especially true in the eyes of my sons. My good reputation as a woman is also very important to me within the construction industry. This is where my eldest son also works and my younger son may soon follow. I can't think of nothing worse than the thought of men on the jobsite teasing my sons via sharing dirty false rumors about me. That could be a reality if I had chosen to sleep with every man I had worked with over the years. I am very glad that I am not that kind of woman. I know humor sometimes can have no limits and can be created with great false exaggeration. I would like to think that this low, below the belt, brand of humor would not ever be displayed. However, I cannot rule it out as it would never ever happen. There are people that have no boundaries and would go very low for a laugh amongst the group. I would think you have gained an understanding as to why this dream was so wicked to me? For the shooting dream, I looked up interpretations online in order to get a broad understanding. Based upon one source, this can mean that I am repressing some deep-seated anger towards someone. It goes on to speak on aggression and conflict in life. On the surface, I initially felt like I have no ax to grind against anyone. I then recalled that I had a brief encounter with a former manager who has managed pop up again along my path. This has caused some anxiety with illogical fear of a repetition of the past will occur in the future. The irony is if he had actually had his finger on the pulse and knew what I was actually doing back then, I could have been an asset to his team. He could have avoided suffering the future slaps to his reputation from upper management. It was a form of karma how laying me off in the middle of fixing open stuff bit him in the behind later on. Everything happens for a reason in life. I am exactly where I am supposed to be. This second encounter is meant to be as well. Not satisfied, I go on to seek more dream interpretation. Another source says that others will lean on you in the future. Yes, that is what others tend to do to me via different capacities over the years. I stumbled on another one more interpretation: "you may be worried about actions of the past and how these are your future". I am now certain that this dream was intended for this first and now second encounter that has just occurred. The good thing is the second encounter is in a different realm under a totally different set of circumstances. Despite that, I can't help but possibly be concerned on a subconscious level about the potential outcome. It seems like I have figured out the life application of the shooting dream. Let's take a look at the second dream. This dream involved a long drawn out exaggeration of my personal life. I was thinking about it, in the big scheme of things, what is the big deal? I am an insignificant person in a sea of billions and billions of other people on the planet. When I went to type it out paraphrasing my dream, not much popped up. When I altered it to public humiliation, I got a hit. At the end of the day, that action is intended to publicly humiliate a person. According to dream interpretation, public humiliation lends to feelings of being ill-prepared, incompetent, or deserving of shame. It can mirror a real life situation or fears a person may have. An interpretation speaks on public humiliation as bringing on embarrassment as bringing to light a person's hidden weaknesses. The source goes on to give scenarios such as: embarrassing situations, being laughed at, feeling inept, and going through uncertain areas such as new training, new relationship, or getting to know someone better but feeling like you are not really on top of your life. Of the scenarios listed, the one that sticks out is new training. I like to be prepared in all situations. For goodness sake, I keep an overnight bag in my car, jackets, blankets, food & water, an other items so I am always prepared. I just finished my own self training and exams for some safety credentials. I have managed to earn a new title as a Safety Manager. Despite putting in all of the work, you will always have subconscious doubts on your abilities to handle different situations. The key is to put your best foot forward, always be willing to learn, don't get rattled and think logically, and make sound decisions from there. In this business, I have ran into plenty of people who fake their confidence and really do not know anything. They learn along the way like anyone else. In conclusion, I believe that this dream was a subconscious fear of entering a new world and not being prepared. The lack of preparedness results in some catastrophe that leads to some fatality and me being put in jail for the rest of my life. That is the worst possible scenario that one could have. Come to think of it, I am really good at "the sky is falling" scenarios. It is amazing how much I worry while others don't care about much. A balance between being conscientious and level headed is needed. Let me know what you think about this dream or the previous one? Which one is better? Which one is worse? Do you have as odd of dreams as I've been having? Perhaps my subconscious is acting up way more than usual lately? My deep down fears are bubbling like a pot of hot water to the point of manifesting regular dreams as of late. If you have some dream interpretation to share that has not been shared above? I would appreciate the input. As always, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and website. You have many options and I am honored that you have chosen my content.  Despite it being a Monday, I wish you a great day and the rest of the work week! Cheers! Leslie M.

Sharing Comedy Central's Jessa Reed's "Meth Pee- This Is Not Happening" Stand-up Skit!

Photo Credit: Comedy Central on YouTube, Comedian Jessa Reed Hello Everyone! I had previously shared that my son Johnny wanted to discuss about a comedian who mentioned drinking "meth urine". I didn't do any research on the subject prior to discussing it with both of my sons. I find the subject matter to be shocking, humorous, and such a weird discovery all wrapped up in one bundle of emotions. I just decided to go find the comedian Johnny was talking about. Her name is Jessa Reed and she is a stand-up comedian is from Portland, Oregon. She was a young meth addict in her 20's who was first accidentally introduced to crystal meth. During the stand-up monologue, she discussed her journey to being a drug addict and what led up to her circumstances and eventual decision to quitting meth use. Here is the Meth Pee- This Is Not Happening Comedy Central skit on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VcMIeyjggbM I wish I had watched Jessa Reed's comedy skit before talking with my sons about it. I found it to be enlightening on the depths one goes in order to get high. The irony of how disgusted she was to drink out of a dirty toothbrush holder yet not disgusted enough on the urine portion. However, that point was monumental for her to seek help and become sober. I feel frustrated for her how she got hooked on the drug in the beginning. Then again, submersing yourself in those seedy environments can spawn deeper, darker activity. I now have a bunch of questions to ask Johnny about it. It surely was a missed opportunity that I regret not seizing. However, we are scheduled to get together this week and talk about teen social issues. I plan to get in some questions, that I had missed previously, when we get to that topic of discussion. Now you have the back story on why Johnny suggested such an odd topic for discussion. With this back story, here are Parts A-D from Apprentice Life that have been loaded to YouTube and Spotify on The Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie & Melissa. Here is the first part A on podcast Episode #7 Apprentice Life: Part A: https://youtu.be/DgJeM966xZY Here is the second part B on podcast Episode #8 Apprentice Life: Part B: https://youtu.be/byuBnmoJvuY Here is the third part C on podcast Episode #9 Apprentice Life: Part C: https://youtu.be/ABczZ7fb4jo Here is the last part D on podcast Episode #10 Apprentice Life: Part D: https://youtu.be/eiZ14pZnTEQ Here is the link on Spotify all of the 10 Verbally Disastrous episodes to date: https://open.spotify.com/show/2dFYgX4dUiHaMfJ4gigLY0?si=ygdt6k6iSIms6sSMY_AW9Q As always, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and website. You have many options and I am honored that you have chosen my content. Please offer some thoughts about the entire Apprentice Life podcast mini-series. What do you think of Jessa Reed's story on drinking her own urine? From a sober mind, it sounds like sheer desperation!! Lengths I am not willing to do. I will appreciate the input.

Sharing "Audio Blog Podcast Platforms Via Anchor"- On YouTube!

Hello everyone! I ended up getting busy yesterday so I didn't release the slide show that I created. Here is the slide show on the different platforms that I have via using Anchor: https://youtu.be/EfBvRfAYSnw I used the Anchor website and created a profile. I then went into my WordPress blog & website and converted the entire written blog into an audio format. Once converted, each page has a "Listen In Spotify" icon attached to each post. The icon is a direct link to the podcast episode that is now in audio form from the blog. The best part is this is a FREE transaction! Each of your podcast episodes have an opportunity for you to earn revenue from ads as your audio blog gains more listeners on your platforms. I think this is fabulous and can't talk about Anchor enough. The blog is a tool to market my book #ConstructionTales and my new #VerballyDisastrous podcast that is on Spotify. More marketing tools to help make your projects successful and do not cost you money is absolutely winning! As shared before, the six platforms that you have access with your audio blog are the following: Anchor Breaker Google Podcasts Pocket Casts Radio Public Spotify As always, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and website. You have many options and I am honored that you have chosen my content. Thanks for stopping by, if guilty, on Anchor, Radio Public, Breaker, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Spotify. As stated yesterday, my goal is to get on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Castbox platforms. I must figure out how to do those platforms. Much thanks to anyone who picked up my book #ConstructionTales either on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Audible. I wish you a peaceful Sunday morning!! Cheers! Leslie M.

Apprentice Life: Parts A-D Have Been Loaded To Spotify & YouTube!

Hello everyone! I spent the past two days putting in LONG hours to edit all four episodes #7-10 entitled, Apprentice Life. As I shared before, I had my two sons Tom and Johnny as guest co-hosts. I also released Episode #6: Hang Time With My Sons as well. Between the 3 of us, we recorded almost 4 hours of content! It took me quite awhile to review all of it! It's very hard to ensure the transcript is decent with multiple people speaking. I know we all have construction worker mouths. I did try to edit some of it since it can be a distraction. However, it is not free of dirty mouths. I am not apologizing- just warning you. They are good kids with good hearts that like to talk trash. I do not know what I would do if I had a daughter. I am rather ill equipped for that realm. I would love to see feedback on these five episodes. The guys were asking for topics to discuss as well. I can be reached through my social media and here as well on my WordPress website & blog. Here are the four episodes that were also released onto YouTube. Here is the first part A on podcast Episode #7 Apprentice Life: Part A: https://youtu.be/DgJeM966xZY Here is the second part B on podcast Episode #8 Apprentice Life: Part B: https://youtu.be/byuBnmoJvuY Here is the third part C on podcast Episode #9 Apprentice Life: Part C: https://youtu.be/ABczZ7fb4jo Here is the last part D on podcast Episode #10 Apprentice Life: Part D: https://youtu.be/eiZ14pZnTEQ Here is the link on Spotify all of the 10 Verbally Disastrous episodes to date: https://open.spotify.com/show/2dFYgX4dUiHaMfJ4gigLY0?si=ygdt6k6iSIms6sSMY_AW9Q As always, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and website.

Just Released Episode #7: Apprentice Life- Part A on Spotify & YouTube!!

Hello everyone! I have invited my two sons, Tom & Johnny, as special guests on the podcast. We all got together and spent hours drinking some brews and discussing a wide variety of topics. We broadcasted for about 4 hours during our last get together.  Apprentice Life has multiple parts (A to E) to the discussion. I would like to call it a podcast mini-series. Soundtrap crashed and didn't let me have it as a giant episode. After some thought, it was best to offer the monster of an episode in smaller bites. I would hate to bore anyone with a 2-hr podcast. Johnny and I are both interviewing Tom since he followed me into the business as an electrician apprentice.  Johnny is vowing to follow us into the business. I know his father and I don't want to see him ruin his back, knees, neck, etc. via working in the field. Technically, his father is more against it than I am. When he becomes an adult, his path is his choice. I can only persuade him like tying him with chains while he is sleeping and threaten with a chainsaw (kidding-of course).  I am trying to talk him into electrical engineering. Tom and I shared various jobsite construction tales. Many are humorous in nature. Johnny added observation comments and his interest in masonry that he is doing at a vocational school as per his high school curriculum. and life as a 4th year union apprentice. The cool thing is both Tom and I inspire Johnny to find a career path that he will love and will look forward to waking up each day.  Overall, the dynamics are very much the same as when we have personal discussions. The cool thing is that the guys like the concept and want to do it again in the near future. I told Johnny that we are going to work on some podcast episodes next week. He needs to do his research ahead of time. I shall see what kinds of odd topics he will want to discuss with me. Obviously, the episodes tend to sound like construction workers with the profanity. Yes, I am included in that statement. I tried to edit some of it out since it can be distracting. However, I am sure I am not the only well of profanity that they have drawn from over the years. I didn't want to remove all cursing. I would feel like I am trying to be inauthentic. Besides, it is hard to wash away the potty mouths completely when you have three people chiming in at any given moment. Yes, I have an honest policy in my family. Some confessions of terrible behavior may not be revealed at the moment. However, it is pretty safe to say that I am aware of 89% of the dirty deeds of my sons after the fact. I totally expect some things sworn into secrecy amongst themselves. I found out later that my eldest son experimented with some drugs in high school. I am actually somewhat relieved that they both favor weed and not into much anything else. In the episodes, it is obvious that they both speak freely amongst me. I am the female ear where they come to me for the female perspective. I do tend to think, after many years in construction, that I think more like a man than a woman. I am that person who thinks that I can be a mother figure and I can also be a friend to my sons. I look forward to the day when Tom gets married and has my grand children- that is coming soon. I can only hope he has a child that will be the mirror image of himself as a child.

Reviewing The "Female Carpenter Breaking Down Walls"-Nedburn Thaffe Article

Photo Credit: Nedburn Thaffe's photo on Claudia Chambers hello everyone! I read the article entitled, "Female Carpenter Breaking Down Walls" that was written by Nedburn Thaffe. The article showcased a Jamaican female certified welder and carpenter by the name of Claudia Chambers. Ms. Chambers loves building things and holds pride after reviewing the finished product. Ms. Chambers initially strived to become a math teacher. No sooner than first witnessing a person welding while at work, she opted to seek the same training. Ms. Chambers enrolled in HEART Trust/NTA’s National Council on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (NCTVET) Lluidas Vale campus shortly after realizing her new career path. By 2013, Ms. Chambers received her diploma in welding and fabrication. However, it appeared that she had difficulty in gaining employment. She opted to continuing her training in carpentry via a program on campus that is called, Wall and Ceiling Lining. By 2014, Ms. Chambers received her carpentry credentials and was able to obtain employment at a major hotel. Not only did she gain carpentry employment at the hotel, she became a demonstrator at the NCTVET Lluidas Vale campus. I did a review of where Lluidas Vale is on the island of Jamaica. It appears to be a city in the middle of the island. Lluidas Vale, also known as Worthy Park, is a settlement in Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica. As a demonstrator, when the carpenter instructor takes a day off, Ms. Chambers fills in as the instructor. She also appears to help the instructor maintain order in the vocational classroom. Ms. Chambers is a Top Hill resident on the island. Upon review of the map, her town is located on the southwest portion of Jamaica. I have never been to Jamaica yet. I imagine the weather is always tropical. I am not a fan of working in the heat with my tools. I would not be happy working in a tropical climate. I will take cold weather any day of the week instead. I admire her career choice in a cultural climate where the men appear, on the surface to me, as very macho in nature. I am willing to be wrong about the situation if the men are laid back and have no issue with a talented woman. If anyone who reads this is from Jamaica and knows the culture, please let me know. In the article, Ms. Chambers speaks about how people are surprised with her career path in a male-dominated industry. I think I am correct on my assessment that carpentry is just as hard to break in for women in the U.S. as it is in Jamaica and other parts of the globe. Perhaps there would be more women in the trades if they didn't receive such harsh treatment from their peers. The working conditions are hard enough on their own. When you add the bullshit pressure layer to the mix, it makes entry and consistency not so appealing. I wanted to share Ms. Chamber's story as a part of Women's History Month. I didn't find her in time to get into the slideshow. Despite her being relatively new to construction, I believe that she faces challenges trying to teach men in her culture with giant egos. I perceive Jamaican men egos to be higher than egos of American men. I could be wrong- let's discuss. As always, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and website. You have many options and I am honored that you have chosen my content. Please offer some discussion on my thoughts about Ms. Chamber's employment and the culture. I will appreciate the input. I wish you a great work week ahead! Cheers! Leslie M.
