who's responsible?

<<You were there--it broke after you left. >>

Comon! It didn't break by itself! Geesh! And it didn't "break", but while 
falling out chipped the case in a couple spots. All I'm saying is, All they 
had to do was to call me! I would have come back immediately. And it was 
GLARINGLY apparant that themaid put in in the wrong way, and so she was also 
at fault for failing to warn the owner that, "hey, you might want to use 
caustion when opening the lid", or something to that effect. Yes, I take 
responsibilty, but just between me and the list, and being intellectually 
honest, it is undeniable that themaid shares at least HALF the blame! At 
least give me THAT much.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Hi Terry,

You were there--it broke after you left. You earn more than the
housekeeper--who was acting in good faith. Fix it. And yes the refrigerator
repair man should pay for the glass shelf.
