divorce themselves fromthe knowledge they have,so yes, she would knowthe little tricks you all didtogether as employees.

I’m not hearing any-thing to suggest that youare proud of your friendor happy for her. Maybe you need to pull yourselftogether so that you too can be eligible for a promo-tion. Adhere to the new policies, do away with thetricks that you practice and give your friend and bossthe respect she deserves. You never know when youwill be in that position.

If you think she is really overdoing it with the newrules too early or infringing on anyone’s rights, thendiscuss that respectfully as you would anyone else,but ensure that you are being fair and objective andnot jealous or just feeling left behind. Unless shechanges drastically, the friendship can survive.

Do your best to be a team player. The workplace isnot your personal playroom, it is a place of businessand right now there are so many people looking forjobs that we cannot slip up. This is your opportunity tosupport a friend, be proud of her and maybe to makesome changes in your work habits.

Dear Koren,My co-worker got a promotion back in July and it

has completely changed her. All the things we used todo as colleagues, now is suddenly not allowed. Shehas blocked facebook access at the office and want tointroduce all kinds of new policies. We used to gomovies Tuesday night, now she is too busy workinglate. Is it fair for her to use the insider information shehad as an employee now that she is a supervisor?How do I not let this affect our friendship?

–Disgruntled Friend and Employee

Dear Disgruntled,Many persons are promoted because of experi-

ence or because they are next in line, with no supervi-sory training which would help them to make the tran-sition in a more gradual way. Also, sometimes it’s avery difficult thing to have to supervise friendsbecause now she has to separate herself from beingyour buddy and partner in crime on the job to beingthe one who polices you.

Don’t be too hard on her. In trying to prove herselfand satisfy her superior, she has to demonstrate thatshe treats all employees the same regardless of whoher friends are, that she is minimizing time-wasting byeliminating access to social media and that she is put-ting in enough hours to get the work done. As for herusing insider information, a person cannot just

11 Vol. 27, No. 7 • Oct 23 - 29, 2014

By Jay Bobbin

No one can accuse Two and a Half Men of resting

on its laurels as it heads toward its finish.

The CBS sitcom staple makes a big, “I Now

Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” type change to its

premise in its 12th and final season, which begins

Thursday, Oct. 30. Suddenly worried about his mor-

tality, Walden (Ashton Kutcher, who recently became

a first-time father) wants to adopt a child ... and

believing he stands a better chance of doing so as half

of a couple, he asks housemate Alan (Jon Cryer) to

pose as his gay partner.

“It’s just a little bit out of left field,” admits the

amiable Cryer, a two-time Emmy winner for the series,

“but the writers have managed to create a story

where it makes sense. I first thought, ‘Wow, that’s a

dumb idea,’ but I mean it was a dumb idea for these

two guys to have. I think we’ve established that

they’re idiots in many respects — so the more I

thought about it, the more I said, ‘Sure.”’

Noting the plot gives the show’s creative team

“great fodder,” Cryer adds part of that is a major

adjustment to frequent dater Alan’s social life.

“It’s a tightrope walk,” the actor confirms. “He

wants to honor the parental relationship he’s creating

with Walden, but he still has the same wants he’s

always had. We have an episode where Lyndsey

It’s 12 and out for ‘Two and a Half Men’ as last season starts

(Courtney Thorne-Smith) wants to come back into his

life, and he has to make that decision.”

Maggie Lawson Psych is joining “Two and a Half

Men” for its home stretch in the recurring role of a

social worker linked to the adoption scenario, and

Cryer is happy to have her on board. “She’s got a love-

ly arc that’s been fun to play,” he says.

Since everyone involved knows the end is near,

Cryer — who also stars in the new movie Hit by

Lightning — describes the atmosphere on the Two

and a Half Men set as “jovial, tinted with a slight

amount of bittersweet. Everybody has had so much

fun, and it’s been such a crazy ride, we’re grateful for

every moment. That’s really fun, but we’re going to

miss it. It’s a mix of feelings.”

Jon Cryer stars in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half

Men, which begins its 12th and final season today.

Digging into Beach VolleyballIn many jurisdictions around the world Beach

Volleyball is a very popular event. Despite having the

ideal climatic conditions and numerous beaches

around the Territory, Beach Volleyball here is dor-

mant.

The recently formed GRATE BVI Music Alliance

must be commended for taking the initiative to push

the BVI Volleyball Association and include the sport –

which is also on the Olympic

program – in their inaugural

“Go Green Family Fun Day”

event at Long Bay Beach, Beef

Island on Monday.

With Quito Rymer and the

Edge kicking off the musical

offering for the day with several

of his popular renditions fol-

lowed by other performers, the

games were played again a

backdrop of entertainment as

persons entered and exited the popular beach, stop-

ping and casting an eye on the action that so many

around the region and the world enjoy.

“The tournament went well but like anything else

could have been better for our first time doing it,” said

BVI Music Alliance President Eustace “Boss” Freeman

who spearheaded the initiative. “We had eight teams

participating and the competition was pretty stiff.

Ultimately, Valissa Bratwaithe and Canice Marquis

walked away as the winners and they were very excit-

ed after beating Denfield “Doc” Solomon and Bobby

Pickering, 21-17.”

Freeman said they approached the Volleyball

Association and worked with them in the initiative in

help organize the event and thanked them for working

along with his organization. Freeman said he thinks

the general public should help the Volleyball

Association in coming up with ideas.

“This is an event that can propel the popularity of

the sport in the BVI,” he noted. “It’s a joint effort in the

community to getting more people involved in playing

volleyball.”

Freeman – Showtime Band’s

lead singer and a basketball play-

er who played with Alvin Bolton in

the 2 on 2 tournament – advanced

out of the first round before being

knocked out of the competition.

“Right now I’m feeling the

effects, my ankles are hurting

me,” he said on Tuesday morning.

“It’s tough in the sand,” the bas-

ket-baller added. “But we had a

good time playing so it’s all good.”

Following the initiative Freeman pointed out that

we live on an island with numerous beaches where

the sport can be played. He said it might take a little

time and effort to get the courts lined out the proper

way.

“This is something that can go on all year long if

we work towards it,” he said.

I couldn’t agree more. With the presence of obesi-

ty prevalent in the Territory, anything to get people

moving and sweating is a good move especially for

our young people. 2 on 2 Volleyball should be some-

thing that we all embrace.
