Which Reminds Me

Yes, perhaps I could have thought of a more diplomatic way to fend off the maid Mercedes' demands on my time and attention. She did not seem to have any sense of my needing to claim my own privacy rights and not being desirous of having to share every little detail of my future life plans with her. The way I did it made me seem as if I was trying to be her boss, when actually I was just trying to not be bullied by her, which was how that felt to me. Sorry, but I still don't feel like discussing my personal life with Mercedes. That just wasn't working for me.
