Yet Another Helper Rant

This is not really the best of my birthdays, to be honest.

I had the best plans I could think of. I had my schedule for the day.

And it was ruined. By the helper I thought already learned what it is to be a good "employee."

I wasn't able to go out. Not even to hear Mass.

Why? Because the helper, who I agreed that she leave early morning to talk to her sister, then be back before 9 am, didn't return as promised. Her mobile phone was off. She didn;t even leave any clue as to why.

What's worse? She knew it was my birthday. She knew I had plans. She knew that I would not be able to elave home (drive the car) without another person.

And I didn't even think she'd do this, considering that when the other maid left, she was so mad and felt bad because she thought what that maid did was wrong. But she proved to be much worse than the first.

Her clothes are still here, and I'm still contemplating on whether to just throw them out or wait for her.

Imagine. I didn't celebrate my birthday. I didn;t go anywhere.

Good thing my family saved me. They picked us up in order for us to have lunch at their place. But before dinner, I asked them to take us home. Eanna hasn't slept and I know that a trip to my Lola's would not be a good idea. Eanna would be sleepy that time, and she'd be cranky. And I don't want to feel self-pity around my relatives.

I just got some food from them, fed the bebe, bathed her, then put her to sleep.

Then I cleaned the dirty stuff, took out the trash, cleaned the floor.

I have advised my Boss that I wouldn't be working for at elast two days, and explained to him the reason. I hope he really understood.

With helper, you really cannot trust them. Treat them good, treat them bad, they'd treat you the same way. They only think of themselves.
