Drinking on the job

My Father in Law moved in with us, after being admitted to the hospital for a vitamin deficiency that led to other complications.  So, we got a caretaker to look after him - take his vitals, give medication, assist with mobility, etc.

While recovering at our house, he then got Covid and Malaria.  When I told the caretaker that she needs to take precautions like wearing a face mask & sanitizing, she said “It’ll be no problem.  I don’t get sick as long as I take hot drinks.  Can you please go get me some?”  “ Sure,” I said, “we have plenty of tea.  Is that what you want?”  “Yes, that’s ok.”

My cook laughed at me.  He said she meant alcohol. 🙈. Then, come to find out, she had actually helped herself to our stash of alcohol that night, and had our nanny buy her a couple satchets earlier in the week.  Fired that day.

Overheard

I’m sitting in the waiting room of a Dr’s office, along with a number of other people.  We can all hear this guy on the phone.  He’s on a job interview!  We can all hear him talking through his work experience, and how he would handle certain work situations.  His expectation for pay is 250,000ngn / $4,250 annually.  

Last week, I was standing in line at ColdStone creamery.  The guy in front of me was paying.  He read out his PIN for the cashier to enter.!. 🤪
