Something I didn't feel comfortable with, even though it's not my responsibility to make her pay her taxes. But services generally expect more money as well.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810590407001594471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11495296.post-51459641839602488942008-06-03T15:48:00.000-05:002008-06-03T15:48:00.000-05:00The housekeeper thing is kind of annoying.

There wasn't a specific "your services are no longer required" conversation, though I've been tempted a couple of times (she was really bad at remembering to clean our basement...fully 1/3 of the house...). More that she didn't show up (or call) for her last "scheduled" visit (after I had to reschedule it), nor did she show up a month later. I was never entirely sure that she wrote numbers down for herself the same way she told them to us...so "the 15th" could mean "of April" or "of May" or "the 17th" or "whatever I wrote in my calendar and you won't know until the night before when I call". And she kept asking for cash, which just annoyed me (who has that kind of cash? And why is a good, non-bouncing check so bad if her business legit?)<BR/><BR/>*sigh* There are probably better people out there, but now I need to actually go looking, and I hate that part. Maybe I'll try a "service" this time...I'd probably get a different person every time, but maybe they'll write down the day they're coming on, or come on the day they're writing down every time...BriteLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746599921292379358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11495296.post-57938916756874890412008-06-02T22:21:00.000-05:002008-06-02T22:21:00.000-05:00Completely willing to babysit for tradsies.
