Yesterday we had our maid here again. She thinks that she has the best job in the world since we have been away from Bangkok so much lately. She rarely has to come here.
Yesterday I was dressed up in a pinstriped suit because I was going to “work”. I was giving a brief presentation to Swedish Senators that were visiting Bangkok.
She looks at me, wearing my suit which is a rare event these days, and says with a surprised look on her face:
“Whe you go?”
Me: “Work” Did not feel I could nor had the time to explain further
Maid (with even more surprise in her eyes now): “Work!? Whe you work?”
Me: “Well, I’ll be talking and maybe answering some questions”
Maid: “Ahhh, job inteview then”
And starts walking away.
I feel I should explain so I start saying no no, it is… and then – No. I don’t have the time.
I walk over to the door and I put on my black shoes. I realize that they are a bit worn out, they don’t look as nice as they should for an occasion like this.
So with one black shoe on, I put on a beige shoe to see what shoes would be best to wear.
Now she comes over to me again looks at my feet and I ask her:
“Which one is more suitable?”
She looks at me very very surprised:
“Khun Feddick, what you do? Why dis”
So I repeat my question:
“Which one is better looking”
Maid:”But khun Feddick, why one black and one not black?
Fashion?”
She wins every time.
