It’s freezing and snowing outside today, how does she do it?
My maid had to go to school for four days this week. Yes, four straight days. This was the agreement she made with her professor in order that she can take the next class offered this semester.
I was taken aback. You see, my maid doesn’t drive. I admire her for her patience though in taking public transportation. She can get anywhere that I can drive to, using public transportation. It may take her three times the amount of time, but she’ll get there.
It is snowing today and I just wondered, how does she manage all of these. I cannot believe she is willing to wait in the freezing cold for a bus. Or, if she gets tired enough, she will take the cab. Do you know how much it is to take a cab from her school to home? Not cheap. So I told her, why not just get a Used Car and start driving. It’s not that bad. Paying for insurance on a used car is much cheaper than getting a used car. IF she can’t afford a new car, I think a used car will do. We have extra parking spaces outside my house. There is no need for her to suffer through this daily if she drove.
I don’t know. Maybe someday, she’ll find out that driving is a necessity here and not a luxury. By then, maybe my advice will be heard. Or maybe, it’s just wishful thinking.
Funny post! very interesting. Your maid needs to learn how to drive. It’s essential in this day and age.
