Sheena, Glenda & Me...

Alright. As mentioned in about 3 blog entries earlier, I hired a temporary assistant. She came in the form of a long-haired girlish, sweet and very courteous. She smiles at everyone and greets eveyone, in my department. Well mannered and brought up by her parents.

I got to know more about her through my partner and of course, from Sheena, herself. For example, how she deals with money she earns doing part-time work / temporary positions. She would save the money to go for holidays and also to buy the things that she really wants. She'd prefer that she buys them herself, than always having to stretch out her hands and ask for money from her parents. She cooks dinner for her parents everyday and it is a MUST that her parents go home after work to eat. She gives herself Wednesdays off-dinner duties and hangs out with her parents even during the weekends.
She helped me out for 3 days, till last Thrusday. We've kept in constant contact ever since. She's a good worker and though she's been comstantly pampered by her dad, she's sensible when she's out of her comfort zone.
She listens to my guides and instructions when she was here and I'm proud to say that she's wonderful....
She gave me a treat on Thursday too. She bought me a cuppa Iced Passion Fruit Tea with a scoop of ice-cream from Coffee Club. She had suggested that I try that after I "bugged" her to go down for a little walk and get some fresh air, and get herself her usual fix of coffee. I gave her $5.00 for my drink just before she went down, even though she had earlier insisted that she buy that for me.
And guess what?? This "naughty" gal, wrote me a cute little note. She cut and paste (with glue) the envelope, folded the nicely and neatly writtened note and of course, my $5.00 inside. She returned me my 5 bucks and I'm sure she was smiling to herself when she imagined the look on my face when I read it on Friday morning.
Last but not least, Sheena only found out my age this morning when I "introduced" both cousins on MSN. Hah! And I've heard of nothing, but compliments from Sheena to Glendan...
So, Thank you, Sheena!!
