Older Vietnamese women telling me what to do also makes me lose my mindfulness. There's one here that has a penchant for ordering people, including me, around. And her English is a quarter decent, so I can't pretend like I can't understand her. Finally, when she told me to do something, I mindfully told her I would bring it up as a work item for working meditation. She's laying off for now.

Funny, though, that I have no problem with younger Vietnamese women telling me what to do. Meow *reconsidering monasticism*.
