Beautiful. I was really hoping that that moment would somehow be immortalized. I remember vividly the way you yelled my name after gushing about the opportunity to clean the clean-smelling European's room.

GREAT story. Also, go you for quitting after three weeks. I wasn't there much longer, but seriously: Worst. Job. Ever. I remember coming home every day that summer complaining about how difficult and disgusting the work was and how I felt like I was making NO money, to which my mother simply replied: "That will teach you to stay in school." I also always tip my maids... and make my reasoning very clear to anyone around me who will listen. Those ladies work hard for their money.
