mich,
hip hip hooray!
you must be soooo happy to hear that.
straw,
better late than early. a diagnosis is just a snapshot of N1's current state of speech development. that's why you are going to the therapist rite. take courage.
maid situation on recovering $ fm ex employer
so i call this woman J last sat. start off very reasonably by stating - my maid firmly believes that you still owe her $500. may i know what is the current situation?
J was taken aback, i can tell. she went 'huh?' and i repeated myself. she insisted she sent the money back to my address then. i asked if she sent cash or chq. she said chq. well i din receive it, i told her, do you want to meet up in person... i will be witness so that you dun have to tolerate maid's 'nonsense' anymore.... blah blah.
J freaked out at the meet up in person. interrupted me by saying NO, she doesnt want to meet up. then she abruptly continued, i will send a chq to the address, text me your address. then hung up on me.
i texted her my address then asked her to lmk when she sent the cheque.
after a few moments, i figured wat the heck, that wording is not strong enuf. so i went all lawyer-like on her.
"this goes on record that we spoke just now. you agree to pay (maid's full name) the amt of $500 by cheque posted to (my address) in full and final settlement of wages owed since 20 mar 2010. neither party shall make any claim agst the other party once the chq is received at (my address)."
then i wait.
15mins later, my phone beeps. aha, J responds! and this is what she wrote
"give me your full name. i m not sendg a cash chq via post. thanks"
BINGO! i have her agreement on record.
now i wait for the chq. if the chq doesnt arrive by sat, i will call J again.
nasty piece of work, this J. so ze ar. maid's money also want to cheat. abt time she got her come-uppance.
i did question my maid before i stuck my neck out for her. did you break many of her plates, spoil her washing machine or microwave, anything liddat? my maid told me, nothing of that sort, mam.
