After a morning spent in negotiations with my Mexican maid, I am pleased to announce we've come to a new arrangement. I have agreed to give her a 5% raise, provided she sign on for another five years. She'll now be making $2.10 an hour. This should put an end to her concerns about not being able to feed her many children. Of course, because of this increase in pay, I will be expecting more from her now. Excited about her first raise, the Mexican maid agreed to work today for free, which is good, because as I am nearing the end of an elaborate experiment, there is a lot of cleaning to do in the basement.
