We Look in Your Office
This is another vignette from the Skool that happened only in the last Holidays.
There I was thinking that I was alone in the Skool except for the canine companions when I was acosted INSIDE THE BUILDING by an asian parent accompanied by her child
The department is supposed to provide me with a safe working enviroment and parents on the Skool grounds during the Holidays without permission are technicaly trespassers.
Parent "you have camera!"
Willy " I beg your pardon?"
Parent " Ah my son" indicating child "he has no camera!"
Willy "yes"
Parent "He bring for year 12 function on friday now has not got it, have you seen It"
Willy "No"
Parent "We look in Hall yes"
Willy "Ok"
One of my vices in life is that I have been always helpful to other people in distress, never done me any good. I would have been quite within my rights to tell these people to leave but no I had to be mr nice guy.
We go to the hall with the canine companions and look but cannot find the item, it is interesting to note that during all this time the "Son" has not said a word
Parent "Ah cleaners have it"
Willy "I don't think so but if they have found it they would have given it to me, we can look in the cleaners office"
We go to the cleaners office, the parent proceeds to pull open draws and cupboards and rumages among the contents.
Parent "Noh not here WE LOOK IN YOUR OFFICE"
Now in my life I have been labeled many things by many people {It's a human thing }BUT NEVER A THIEF!
Willy "No bloody way!"
Parent "Eh?"
Willy "Give me your details and I will let the office know so that if it is found it can be returned"
Parent who NOW senses Willys indignation "Ah ok" and procedes to relate telephone No which Willy transcribes.
Willy "Thank you" and walks away with his canine companions, leaving parent and Child to find their own way out.
