Staff BBQ
November 19, 2008
We had a staff BBQ held in school earlier this evening. Stayed for only a short while before taking a walk to the service station to collect my car. It wasn’t a bona fide BBQ in the sense that we didn’t have to do any of the bbqing. People were employed to do the work for us, which, on any other occasion, would actually have been the most fun part. The satay was really good. The otah too. And the mee goreng. The sambal stingray, of which I took only a miniscule bite before dumping, was almost tasteless. A pity I had to leave just as the crowd got larger; would have loved to stay and catch up a little with the rest.

Sometimes, when I get riled by the maid, I behave in front of the kids in a way that I really do not want to. But I cannot help it. When it comes to my children, my standards for everything from hygiene to their needs and wants are set ridiculously and unreasonably high. I know that it is hard for many others to live up to my expectations and when I lose control and reason evades me, I must say I am a pretty nasty monster of an employer. Tonight is one of those times. When I have calmed, though, I went over to say that I had over-reacted.
E, thanks for reading. YOU who do read are my closer friends and quite a few of you prefer to read and not comment. I am fine with that. I appreciate your pms though. Cheers.
Woo hoo
