Professionalism

I am talking about our dhobi who comes with his hand-cart to our layout everyday. He is amazingly dedicated and honest, and takes great pride in doing his job well. Ironing clothes is no big deal, but he manages to impart that extra touch to it. That is the mark of a true professional.

What really pisses me off is that he earns peanuts in spite of working so hard. This feeling is compounded when I compare him of one of my colleagues. She is supposedly a "software engineer", but she probably needs help in starting up Windows. She is utterly incompetent, gossips all day long, licks her boss's ass unashamedly and is a complete nuisance to everyone around. And she earns more than 10 times what our dhobi earns. Life is so unfair!
