Francesca in France

From my Computer Files:
Worth reading, so I posted it here.

I was ready for full time work, mukhang kaya na ng likod, he he , adjusted na naman mag katulong ng mahabang oras, I put an ad at Monaco newspaper. Ito ang mga tawag, matatawa kayo! My phone rang.

Allo, I answered.
Vous parlez anglais? (you speak english?)

Yes , sir.

I read your ads in Monaco newspaper, you are good in massage?

"Sir, repassage, not massage."
"And what is repassage?"

"Sir it is ironing- repassage, not massage."
He put down the phone.
Loko yun ah, ano kala niya sa akin???!!!

My phone rang again after one hour.

Allo. Vous parlez anglais?
Yes, Sir.

I am English and read your ads, can you work in the evening?
What time to what time sir?
7 pm, stay/sleep in the house then go home at 7 am. You can have dinner and breakfast here in the apartment if you like.
And what work will I do?
Only as a sitter for me, as I am 91 years old, my wife is going to London for two weeks, I need someone to look after me in case I got some health problems to call hospital etc etc.

How much you offer per hour?
As you wish...
Its 15 euros per hour, not a problem?

No, not at all.

(I started counting in my brain how much for the night! he he)
Okey, sir, I would like to see you first.

I live in.... (as he told me, wow, flush building in Monaco, he must be really rich!)

Okey, sir, appointment is at 6pm, is that okey?
Okey.

6pm, I went to the concierge of the building.

Concierges are hard to deal with! grrr They told me off! One said, you are not supposed to use this elevator going up to your appointment, as this is only for guests and owners of the buliding.

Taray! Sige na nga.

So I used the employees' entrance at the back of the building and use the employees' elevator. I met the old man,14th floor, discussed with him, he said,

You will have your room for the night, blah blah for two weeks. I pay you 180 euros per night (12,000 pesos), you will not work anything, just to call ambulance or police in case of emergency. I need someone with papers , will you accept it?

No. I cant. Sorry.

I gather already he is more of naglalaway when sees me than anything else!Mukhang manyak, yay!

I just got married last August, my husband will not alllow me to leave home in the evening as you can imagine, but I will refer you someone."

I called my old buddy Filipina if she is willing to take it, ask the name of the old man, then told me the "great news".

That old man is a maniac. He likes to be cuddled in the evening, or likes you to touch his "you know what", and some filipinas working with him gave up because he touch them while working even on daytime.

Ngiihhh.

Third call:

allo!

(in french immediately,mama mia!)
" I need someone to take care of my handicapped child, give him a bath etc etc, he is now 21 years old....etc etc. We offer good salary....." ( and she rattling on and on)

I told her:(in my broken french:) Madame, sorry, already have job, your call is late.

Next post folks, about my new work! Just keep online, he he he In case you wonder what Michel thought about me, working like this(house employee?) No worry from him. He knows I am making good money in this and I am choosy whose/ what kind of employer to take.

And then Butler came into my life...
Music please...
