My mother prepared a wonderful breakfast for the first time in weeks for the special occasion. A couple of days ago my mother approached me and told me that my father had contracted a life-threatening disease and would not be able to work anymore. She said she had already taken up a job as a maid for a rich corporation owner who lived a ten minute walk away. She… Continue

I also think that there is going to be a new bill passes soon about the hours that we can work. I can wait for it to come out and make the work place more bearable… Continue
