Bloody Maids Problem!

Today is really a shitty day, not because it is month end ..salary, bills..etc. but MAID's problem! We've just got a new maid, replacing the other that is due to return this Saturday after 2 years of service. She is really DUH (we had Ah Blurr, Ah Duh, Ah Tut...all alike, hollow between the ears). Their common reaction is to stare at you looking completely Blank when you talk to them...nothing went into their head as if you are blowing hot air straight into their faces.

This is actually our 6th or was it 7th maids since we started needing this social pain from 1998...can't live with them but can't live without either. Yeah, yeah I can do the maths its like one maid a year when the standard contract is for 2 years. Of the lots, 3 ran away and one demanded to be released as her ego was bigger than her breasts.

Since I have reported the runaway cases through the same police station, the officer even asked if I have touched their arse the wrong way...Fcuking bastards!

Anyway, back to the new maid...she has been here almost a week now...and we thought with the overlap and everything..we should have a seemless changeover...but we are damn wrong. Apparently, she told my old maid that she is not happy here...too much work, not relax at all and she wants to see the agent. She basically wants out and 'choose' another employer...she is going nuts (yes..we think she is loosing it as crying in the middle of the night and mumbles under her breathe all the time just doesn't give us the confidence that she is fit to work at all. Fcuk!

So, I called the agent and told her all these and that we can't possible live with the risk that she may harm the little ones at home. Out she goes...and begin our 3-months wait (again!) for another suitable one.

Sometimes, I just wonder...why us? Just luck I guess ... you just simply cannot rely on those fcuking make-believe biodata anymore. Come to think of it, the only time we had a good (reasonably OK) domestic helper was when my son (then 3 years old) 'tikam' [pick] one from the pile of biodata from the agency. May be I should do the same again....any 3 years old boy/girl that I can borrow?

  • Just to rub it in. Heh, I never have maid, ever. Only a temporary help who is my hubby's niece. Goyang kaki, stress free life. Blog all day long.

    Good luck to your tikam-tikam.
