Took and I had Dr. Dave and Ahm over for dinner. I had the gardners over before hand to till the flower beds, and Mr. Oo made sure the pool was sparkling clean.
Go waitressed for the first time in her life. Helluva first day on the job, and she did splendidly for someone who — other than the brief, rushed explanation I gave her of what to serve, and when — hadn't the slightest clue of what to do.
We had gin and tonics and a vegetable platter hors d'ouvres, a cold salmon appetizer, white wine, lobster bisque, and a grilled sea bass entree, and a blueberry pie. Go plated each one perfectly, managed to remember all the details (put out the bread with the soup, put the dill sauce on the fish, fix the coffee before dessert was served, and a dozen other things).
Seriously: Go remembering every little thing is small miracle from the Thai labor pool. It really doesn't happen that often. Therefore, I exercised my boss's perogative and upped her salary by 1,000 baht every month. I can't figure out why, but Took seemed even happier than Go about that.
Well, everybody here is very happy. Good dinner, good friends, good service. Happiness all around. Life doesn't get any better.
