friday early evening, mum called and told me she felt very uncomfortable staying at my brother's place. and within a couple of minutes, she called again and said she wanted to come home. she related how flustered my sis-in-law was looking after her and she didn't feel good about it.
as she said so, i was thinking - nope, i think the real meaning was because you suspected i was out with bad people. and i thought so because i sensed her paranoia when i spoke with her on thursday and again friday afternoon. she was extra curious where i was and despite telling her i was at work, she would suddenly keep quiet. that kinda reaction was something i had been used to.
well, i simply told her i would bring her home. but she should allow me to take leave from work and get myself ready for the possibility of being sacked. with that she retracted her request to come home. that was my last resort and i knew she would give in. she had felt uneasy for the fact that in my previous employment, my boss had told me to "sort" her out as she's a problem to my work effectiveness. and i supposed she felt a little guilty about that.
well, it worked.
