"A Simple 2 Employees Organization" (An Update)

An update on my small organization. After the first day of not talking to each other, it seem like my 2 employees are getting along quite well now. I have no idea who has give in as I just pretend nothing happen. They have been complaining each other to different people and those people has report back to me :D I would assume both also did something wrong and they will have to settle among themself.
But, I really cannot stand the speed of my maid doing the housework. I have used to my parttime maid who is so efficient. My maid now is super slow compared to them and the quality is out. I will have to close one eye so that I will not stress myself out. I am really no confident yet leaving her taking care of my baby and I always by her side when she is with my baby. May be it is her character that made me have no confident in her. She looks blur to me and her sense of cleaniness still need to be educated strictly. Sigh ...

A Simple 2 Employees Organization

During my confinement, I have created a simple "2 employees organization" which comprise of a confinement lady (CL) and a maid. And this company is now in crisis because both of them are not in good term :( They are not talking to each other since my CL coming back from her break yesterday. This small company is so difficult to manage than I think.
My CL is a bit loud when talking and I think my maid some how misunderstood the tone. I will see how the situation these 2-day and will have to talk to both of them. Really sien have to deal with these at this time :( Sigh ...

Nervous

I'm a bit nervous now. My confinement lady (CL) will be on leave for 6-day starting tomorrow. I will be handling the baby alone for the first time. My mum will be here but I still feel nervous as well especially when my baby is crying. Earlier, my mum won't be staying over but my CL said it is better as she said she scared I will cry with the baby :D

My Confinement Period So Far

My confinement period so far so good (as long as I closed one eye :p).

Let me start with my confinement lady (CL). The CL that I have currently is not the one that I have booked. She is a replacement as the CL that I booked can't make it as her previous employer also deliver late. The first impression on her - she is very young. She is the 2nd generation of CL and she is only 40 years old. She is also very loud. My house has not been so "noisy" since we have moved in :D

The first day she is here, she ransack my whole kitchen (I think is their practise kua). So, she know where all the things are. I quite not used to her presence the first few days. I let her do things her way. If I were to put in comments, both of us will not be happy. My hubby comment on the kitchen - it looks more like a kitchen now :p But I think it is messy. And my fridge, I need to double clean when my confinement is over.

Food wise, breakfast is standard - "min sin" with ginger wine chicken. While lunch and dinner, she will cook different dishes. So far, I like the pork ribs with potato as well as the Bovril pork ribs. Yummy :p

On taking care of baby, I will comment from time to time if I think I'm right la. I will need to start to learn to take care of my baby now as she will be on leave for 5-day (starting end of next week) before coming back for extention of another 2-week. Why extention? Long story but the main purpose is to train the maid on baby care.

With a maid, a lot of things I can instruct her to do but I still getting used to having someone assisting me doing my housework. Luckily she is trained in housework and I will just have to train her on taking care of baby. She seem like scared to talk to me. A lot of things she told the CL but not me. Do I look fierce? :p
