OhmFluke A Day

13 March 2021

"Yes ma'am— Yes— Thank you." He let out a sigh as he pressed the red button on the phone. "Why is it so hard to find a job these days?!" He growled, flopping on the couch with tons of newspapers scattering around the living room. Some of the papers had been highlighted while some just crumbled up.

"Morning Fluke." He opened his eyes and sat down properly.

"Morning dad."

"Still no luck?" Fluke's father asks, looking at the condition of his house. He takes a seat next to Fluke and ruffles his head when the poor kid pouts, shaking his head.

"It's so annoying dad! There's a lot of ads but no vacancies. Why do they even bother putting up advertisements when there's no vacancy?" Fluke's father chuckled.

"That's good." He said. Fluke frowned. "What?"

"Good." Fluke's father smiled. "Now tell me, what do you have to do with a job? You just graduated son. You need some rest."

"But dad..." Fluke childishly whine. "I really love this profession. If I practice for a couple years then I have something to learn." He proudly exclaimed.

"Really? Then I'll help you." Fluke's father said. "And that phone..."

"Fluke?" Both father and son look at the source of voice. "Yes mom?"

"Breakfast's ready, come on." His mom said. Fluke smiled and nodded his head. "And you too." His mother said, pointing her husband with the spatula she had in her arms. Fluke's father let out a sigh. "Okay honey."

"Aish! Where's that book?" Kao Noppakao was looking through his shelf full of books when the phone to his office rang.

"Hello? Barrister Kao Noppakao speaking."

"Good morning sir."

"Good morning."

"An ad for the vacancy of your assistant has been published in today's news."

"Yes. So you've called up for the same assistant post?" Kao said, smiling. He'd been looking for an assistant for so long now and he's glad someone's gonna be filling that place for him.

"Yes."

"Okay, if you are interested then you're most welcome." His smile widened.

"Thank you sir!" The excitement of the one he's speaking with can't be denied.

"Please note down my address."

"Yes sir."

"15/59—60 RCA Block C Bang Kapi, Huai Khwang, Bangkok, Thailand."

"Okay, I'll be there at 10:30."

"Alright then."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome." Kao ended the call. "Ping!" He called his servant who's currently wiping the dining table.

"Yes sir?"

"What's the position of the house's hygiene?"

"Well, I've washed the dishes, mopped the floor, wiped the windows. dusted the whole house and all of that's twice." Ping exclaimed, smiling. Kao nodded.

"Alright, now do this one thing, I want you to mop the floor, wipe the windows and dusts the house again."

Ping stopped wiping and looked at Kao disbelievingly. "Sir, is there some festival today? Or is there some big client that's coming?"
