Just Some.....

Yesterday, I was standing in front of where I live, and a ex coworker
walked by talking with a woman. A female ex coworker that is. I mean she
looked right into my face, and an expression came over her face that
shocked me. It was one of, don't say anything to me right now, please
don't. This ex coworker isn't from this country and her religion and
beliefs are different, she's Muslim.

15 minutes later, I get a text from her, asking me what am I doing,could
I meet her. I said ok. First thing I said when I saw her was why she
didn't say hello, cause I know you saw who I was. She told me that she
was with her Aunt, and her Aunt doesn't allow her to speak to people
out in the street, what ?!!

She went on to explain it to me, but I wasn't paying any of that
attention. I was too focus on how some one else can tell another person
how to act when they are out in public. I felt sorry for her. This is
the same Aunt who when we were working together, use to take all of her
paycheck every week. The same Aunt who made her babysit after she put in
a 9 hour workday. I asked did she still live with her, and she said yes
and that her Aunt's husband has started coming into her bedroom making
advances towards her. She can't tell her Aunt, cause she won't believe
her, so she lets it go. This isn't the first time something like this
has happened with a female coworker of mine.

I can understand that in order to come from another country to this
country, you must have some one represent you, more or less a family
member. To me, all that family member sees is an additional source of
income and will do anything to take what that person has worked for away
from them. But the person that its happening to, doesn't see, or has
already agreed to some crazy ass terms in order to come to this country.
Shit is stupid if you ask me. But I see that shit more and more each
time.

Try talking some knowledge into her, and she goes on her religion, which
I can understand. One of my other coworkers told her Aunt what her
husband was doing, and she threw her out. She stayed with me for 2
nights until they found out where shews staying.

Some people take advantage of others and that's not good at all.
