Maid Issues

Maids seem to be a common topic in office these few days.

PL's maid went back for holiday and decided not to come back.
SY's maid cried and wanted to go back home.

Two weeks ago, just realised my maid used my handphone to send sms overseas in Indonesia.
And she was smart enough to delete the sms from my sent messages folder.
Unfortunately for her, I happen to accidentally press the "message recipient" the same morning and realised that there's an unknown number there... a super long number that is not Singapore number. After checking, realised that the number is an Indonesian number... and under the "recently used numbers" is the Indonesian number. So she really sent the message and not accidentally pressed the number.

Later my mum went to confirm with her. After my maid confessed to accidentally use the phone, my mum was pretty upset. Well that's because she didn't know how to use my handphone. And my maid knows... sigh.. all along my mum never thought she is that smart. Well my bill that came yesterday proved she did use my handphone and she sent 3 messages and not only 1. Sigh...

Tonight... my sister announced that my maid used her laptop and went online in the day. Well all along she complained that her setting for her laptop changed and she thought that it was me... sigh now the truth is finally out. Well unfortunately for my maid, when she switched on the lap top, the skype was automatically on. So my sister's colleagues message her and of course there was no reply. So naturally they complained to my sister, who today had a busy meeting and insisted she was never online. So tonight... my sister checked her skype and discovered the past Skype message histories and the Indonesian websites surfed.

Now my mum is thinking whether she should change maids... sigh...
Guess you never know what will happen... it all boils down to luck at times...
