My sister is a brilliant cook. Now our newly hired help also happens to be a great cook and she has brought her A-game into the kitchen. The result: divine food, cooked everyday on time between the two of them, without any hassle on my part. If laziness was a sin and there was a special hell for such people, I would be a guest of honour there.
More on our new member to the house... On the plus side, she is of a pleasant disposition, she works very well with minimal supervision and she seems genuinely happy with us than she was with her previous employers. On the down side, she can't stand seeing things of out place (she has to move these things to more suitable places which we don't often know about), she can't stand to have anyone refuse her food (for ANY reason, or she gets upset and irritated), she won't let us do any work in the kitchen (which is hard because we've been trained to do things on our own) and she wants what she wants right then and procrastinators are dealt with zero tolerance (she won't back down till we get that phone set up or call the grocery store for this or that right that minute).
Overall, we are glad and thankful she is here to make our lives easier. She's got three sons she misses dearly and she has lost many opportunities to watch them grow, get to know them and guide them. She's got an unfaithful husband, who she can't count on now or ever. She supports several family members besides her own children and in-laws. If she returns to her home country, the fate of herself and her family is bleak. Despite all that, she still manages a smile and works earnestly.
This song never seems to get old.
