Maid Troubles

I just found out that my helper took my stuffs without permission - hair clips, mascara, concealer (I doubt she even knows what it's for), eye lash glue (ditto the latter), eye shadows, necklace etc.

On top of that, she went to the market to buy bags etc just because of her coming off day - we intend to give her an early off day (rightfully she is only entitled to 1 day off on her 4th month) as its Hari Raya Haji this Friday.

I was fuming mad when I found my stuffs in her cupboard when I did a spot check! She betrayed my trust and it's not the matter of money... It's the principle cos if she can take these little stuffs without permission, god knows what she will do in future! She still has the cheek to say that she will put back after use.

I even gave her $20 for her to buy stuffs for Hari Raya Haji cos I read up and know that Muslims are supposed to wear new clothes during this special day and despite us bringing her to John Little sales at Expo, asking her to choose stuffs, she told us that the stuffs are expensive and I thought she is so sweet to save money for me... I was wrong!

ARGH!!!

The Love of my Life...

I'm a Newbie!

Started my new job not too long ago.

I started my first day of work weak - had stomach flu... buddied with the toilet and bed throughout whole weekend... dragged myself to work cos it's never good to be absent from work the first day you had to report for it.

Dread the feeling of waking up early - I am waking up much earlier than before as I need to go public. No more naps while Ivan's driving :(

I usually reach office 15 mins earlier and hope this can continue on. Haha.

After almost 5 years especially with the last 2 in supervisory role, its rather challenging to eat humble pie. Ya... I am doing much lesser than before but getting higher paid with more benefits. My scope is more of PR, tenants liaison, handing & taking overs and tenancy shopfront design which is never a problem for me except for the latter. I am not trained in design - especially on shop front details, though I was also in charge of retail previously, there's never a requirement. But I don't foresee it to a big issue once I get the hang of it.

In short, it's not a total different ball game for me. Currently I need more time on my new job to learn the ropes and hopefully my helper does not add on to my "to do list"... I am beginning to notice some issues

Throwing Tantrums

This is how Charmaine throw her tantrums whenever we do not give on to her - this time is becos I refuse to let her have my wallet.
