I got myself a Christmas present, but it’s been a lot of work even getting ready. On the heavy urging of one of my co-workers, I’ve hired "The Maids" to come in and clean house. I’ve been spending the week decluttering ever since. 8 trash bags later… <\/p>\n
They arrived at 9:10, and they came with a crew of 4 (as advertised). They have a crew chief, who wears a white shirt, and the rest are in yellow, and they arrived in a yellow PT Cruiser. Cute car, but not a lot of room in them — okay, I couldn’t fit my three dogs in cages in one.<\/p>\n
Dogs of course are upset because they are caged, but much easier than trying to keep track of them. Seems everytime someone comes and works, one escapes.<\/p>\n
Their manager showed up about 9:30. She seems very good too.<\/p>\n
When I worked a "real" job, with a "real" salary, I did have a maid come in every week. It was very nice. What I would really like right now, would be to find someone local, who would come in work for an hour in the middle of the day and let the dogs out. I doubt with gas prices the way they are, I could find anyone willing to do that. And sorry, other teachers who might be offended, but 16 years ago, I left a $45,000 a year job, to teach at $22,000. <\/p>\n
I am going to see about having them come back next Friday and then make a decision on that point as to whether I want to continue.<\/p>\n
Right now, we’re over an hour into cleaning, and the kitchen is looking good, and so is the master suite. However, not much else is done.<\/p>\n
