While dining together this evening (E and I sharing pasta, D eating his customary Sunday night post-swim practice Big Mac), we had the following conversation about a new housemaid I'm interviewing on Wednesday:
E: I hate how none of our maids ever take initiative. If I leave a water glass by my bed, take it to the kitchen! If I put a pile of trash in the corner, throw it out! If I strew DVDs all over the floor, put them in a pile!
Me: I know... I think maybe they just don't feel empowered.
E: Well empower them, please!
Once again... where, with whom, and in what situation do I live? ;)
