This new maid
Its my new maid in new house. Its just a week and daily she has one or the other thing to ask at the end of the work. She was selected among many prospective applicants only bcoz she looked very innocent, silent n a lil dumb types actually ;) Also special consideration was given bcoz she was a kannadiga, it gets really tough to communicate otherwise. I have had some bad experiences with old maid who used to dominate me and I used to get scared to talk to her also!! Okie, coming back to this silent new maid's silent demands. She will ask them with such a mellowed voice that you feel pity on her but i dont like people who "ask". I will give them most of the time without they asking actually. But she dint gimme time at all, she started from Day 1 itself to "ask" which irritates me!!
Day 1: Can you make me some tea (Tea maaDkoDthiraa swalpaa...)
Day 2: If you have some old sarees of yours please give me. (nimdhu yaavdaadru haLe seere idhre koDthiraaa)
Day 3: You can give me the remaining food if any. (Enaadru aDige uLidre nange koDi)
Day 4: My sandals have worn out, give me some of your old ones. (She had seen a big box of my sandals lying outside yet to be arranged)
Day 5: Eying my big Kurkure pack on the sofa, she goes 'Give my children something to eat' (MakkaLige thinnokke enaadru idhre koDthiraaa)
Day 6: I have to attend a wedding today, can you give me 100rs!! (Noor rupaayi idhre koDthiraaa, ivathu ondh madhve ge hogbekithuuu)
The biggest problem is I cant say a NO easily :( I have given most of it she has asked till now and am thinking may be that is what is encouraging her to ask more. Now everyday by the time she finishes work, i feel like hiding somewhere to escape from her demands ;) One day i called up mom n sat on phone too, but still she disturbs me in between the conversation and asks!! Now this is heights!!
