saturday ... night we went to hyatt for dinner with veneer suppliers from paris. shared fish and prawns among four. wore same outfit that i wore friday night! black/white checked shirt and black top (dad asked if i was running out of clothes). blue top and khaki capris during daytime. had nails done by ms hans daughter. declan came to visit with his nanny. he's one week older than bobby and i don't think his feet ever touch the ground. bobby does a lot more from what i can see. declans parents are us consulate people. he sits on his bum leg folded and scoots across the floor using his other leg.
apparently according to dad i've alienated his household staff, on friday, for the cocktails for 12, everything was organized and ready to go. i did not feel a need for ms. han to stay late and help so i said she could go home normal time to her family. well that's not what i should have done. i should have had her stay. instead she came on saturday to clean up the kitchen. then the other household person that i likely pissed off was the gardener. he works half a day here. on friday dad wanted some plants in the fountain area where there were some empty space. we had a 3 way conversation with ms. han, mr. bau and me. i said i wanted a purple planter divided into 3 groups and planted in 3 areas. thought i made it clear. well he left about 1230 and there was no planting done and guests were coming. so.... i did it myself. transplanted the ground cover purple plants to the fountain area. next day they were all pulled up because they cant be just transplanted without acclimating to the new position (back yard to front yard?). dad was angry i did it myself but i knew he wanted plants in there before the guests so i thought i was doing the right thing. wrong! now i'll just sit and watch my fingernails grow. no more trying to pitch in.
Maybe they are worried about job security.
