maid trouble
i'm having maid trouble. it all started last week when eric and buttercup informed me that our maid (full time with us and part-time with eric) has plans of working for us on a part time basis. it didn't sit well with me. i'm paying her 6,000 a month or 1,500 a week. that's a pretty good wage and she gets free food! but that's not the point. i need a full time maid not a part time maid.
the next day, she talked to me about it. i told her that i need a full time maid and if she was going to work part-time, she would get only 4,000 a month or 1,000 a week. she didn't mind the reduction in pay. she wants to do part time work for other people to earn more money for her 11 kids. i can't fault her for that. but i told her i need someone fulltime and if she can't work for me fulltime, i'll have to look for someone else. anyway she agreed to stay on till i found someone full time.
thats when the trouble started. i asked all 6 maids that my mother employs in her house to help me look for a maid. she must be an all around maid. she should know how to do the laundry, clean well, speak resonably passable english, know basic cooking and must be mature enough to fuck outside the house if she wants to have sex. lol. ok ok let me explain: 3 years ago, buttercup (thad) and i had a young maid. one day, thad came home and caught her having sex in the maid's quarters with her boyfriend. and that freaked us both.
anyway, nita, a maid that has been with my mom like forever recommended her friend. so i asked nita to ask her friend to come over to my house so i can interveiw her. meanwhile, our maid continues with us on a part-time basis. nita then calls me that her friend would be ready by sunday and i can interview her on sunday. and that's when i made a mistake. i couldn't get a hold of my old maid to tell her not to come in on monday because the new maid would be coming in.
monday morning found me with 2 maids in the house. so to make matters worse, i suggested that the old maid teach the new maid the work to be done. they didn't teach each other. they compared salaries and compared what i said to one maid and what i said to the other maid. in other words, it was a disaster and i lost them both.
so now i don't have a maid and buttercup hobbles with a cane around the house. i gotta find a new one soon. i'm going up to the mountains and i can't leave thad alone without a maid. not in his condition. bummer.
