I haven't had much time to write lately because I took on a second job and have been going non stop. My new job is as a maid in a lodge. I'm slightly over qualified and when my supervisor read my resume she looked a little concerned. She is Filipino, and seems to feel that she doesn't get respect because she is young and Filipino, but it really isn't. Se has a really annoying trait. She wants to be better then every one, so she finds fault in every thing everyone does, or, she could have done it faster, better, cause she grew up poor in the Philippines and has more appreciation for her job then anyone else. Can I slap her?

Oh, I know I can't, but me and the rest of the maids want to really bad. I actually pulled out my Tao Te Ching this morning and went over some of my favorite chapters. It really helped. I know she doesn't mean to, and that it is really sad that she feels so competitive. She suffers terribly each day.

I don't know why I only go to the Tao Te Ching when I am struggling. There is so much wisdom, and peace there, but when I'm doing okay I put it down.
