2 sporting events in one week? Whose idea? Are you going to the National Ballet after that - you know - in fairness?

Hey, what's wonderful about this is SHE likes basketball and baseball. It doesn't get much better for a guy than that lol! She called me tonight and she is sick. Now she's got a cold, slight fever and cough. Her employer asked her if she was alright and she said "NO, I'm not alright. I'm exhausted." Employer asked her why and she actually said "I worked 14 hours yesterday, I'm 43 years old and I can't work like this anymore. My spirit wants to but my body doesn't" Wow, that is an amazing thing for an Asian lady to say to her employer. She even said tonight that if she's still feeling unwell tomorrow she's gonna...wait for it...take the day off! She usually works right through being sick. The Asian mind set around work is just boggling. You don't speak up to your employer for ANY reason and you work no matter what. I told her I'm proud of her for speaking up and saying what she felt. She said her employer was kind of stunned and didn't know what to say. Her friends are telling her to leave but she wants to stay until her friend comes from HK to take her place. She's afraid if she leaves her employer will hire within the country and her friend will not have a job to come to. This friend helped her when she went to HK to work so she feels she must help her now. So she's sticking it out. She could get a care giver job with less hours and more money pretty easily, as there is a shortage of caregivers in Canada at the moment. but she's staying for her friend. Anyway, that's my update. Tomorrow night I'm taking my girls out to dinner at the Persian restaurant ex gave me a voucher for. I figure I might as well spend her money on our girls and not just on my dates lol. It should be fun.
