The evil rainbow got me. Attacked me on the stairwell, while full of that delicious slurry. I caught the newel post in the center of my back. That felt great, wind sucked from my lungs. And did Mr Robe say anything? HELL NO! not even an "are you ok?"
Mr Robe's only pourpose in life is to watch TV , get smashed, and occassionnaly flash the Cleaning Lady, thus the name Mr Robe. Now I don't know about you guys, but when I KNOW some one is coming to my home, for almost any reason, I GET DRESSED. Not Mr Robe, he claims that I am lucky he isn't in his skivvies (gag!). He even does this when his wife is home, and laughs about it! UHG!
Mr Robe has a walking cast on his foot. he's out of work for 8 weeks for a busted TOE. A cast on a busted toe... think on that for a few. Why, you may ask? because drunk people break stuff, including their own limbs. And Robe guy is no exception. He broke his toe multiple times because his drunk ass kicked walls. How stupid can some people be? never mind... I already know!
I had to start from scratch at The Hotel this week. Nothing like a 200 year old steak house for seriouse dust bunnies clinging to every surface, with a grease demiglaze, and a side of nicotien. Tilex is my wonder cleaner, screw the bathroom uses, it cuts grease & nicotien like nothing else. I hadn't been in the Hotel in almost 3 months to clean, it was ugly. My helper was studious almost to a fault, 2 hours on one room, I'd say thats a record, considering it wasnt a kitchen. Silly me, I got yelled at for vaccuuming! What was I thinking? a Cleaning lady that doesnt sweep....hmmmm, its so new a concept that I can't yet wrap my head around it! The lights are cleaned, the fans are unsoiled, the stones walls have been swept (not with a vacuum!) and the air returns are white again. Another job well done. And the reward was the best damn cheese steak in the world, bar none (look out Pat's steaks, we may be far, but its worth the trip!).
Now if only the financing gods would smile upon the owners of The Hotel, you see, theres a long unattended building on the other side of the mountains, which would be a smash hit if only the right owners could be found. The (big) Cheese's could do that. I know they could, and whats better is THEY know it too. So God's of finance, please shine your light on them, they need a new project to bring them together again.
Peace ya'll!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, one and all!
Well, we made it through yet another strange and tangled anum, not without a few bruises and lumps to show for the fight, either.
Any of you that KNOW ME, know I'm in a wicked legal battle for my dog , Tucker, whom my family misses dreadfully. That's still ongoing, but the outlook is promising, knock wood. In summation, a shelter was notified by us of Tuck's being MIA, they lied about having him then adopted him out, ILLEGALLY. Humane my ass...
BUT ANYWAY......
I managed to not work on New Year's, but I did run ragged Friday and Saturday nights! The HOTEL was packed and when you only have 21 tables, you have to slide them in where you can, or hustle em out at the most opertune moment. I only had to turn away one group...idiots...who comes into a packed restaurant, party of 8, with NO RESERVATIONS?????? duh.... if there are no parking spots, what makes these retards think they will magicly have a table waiting just for their large unreserved party? And then their indignity... don't I know who they are? (no, I don't, nor do I care) why, they KNOW THE OWNERS!:O (yes, so do I, for all the good that will do you while standing at the door with no rezzy). Ah well, you cant win them all, right?
I was not invited to the hotel "holiday party" for employees, nor did I expect to be, as I am sort of a stand in Hostess, on call when needed. Yes, I also clean the hotel, when its not inundated with celebratory gaudies (decorations to some...), but alas, the BIG CHEESE only likes me on weekdays, not weekends or holidays... or anytime he's under duress would be more accurate! But I'm not overly worried about weather I am liked or not. I gave that up in seventh grade. So long as I do the job I was hired to do and do it well, I am at ease.
Back at the ranch.... Hubby and I had another couple over for New Years eve. It was wonderful! La & Hubby came in around 10:15, we talked and sipped for the next two hours quietly and voila! the clock ticked us into another year! No fireworks. No live band. No theatrics. No resolutions. Just a nice middle aged new years celebration :)
May your New Year be filled with joy, a minimum of pain, and a dab of humility, just to keep you human. Be well all!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog,!
I'm the cleaning lady, no, I'm not THE MAID, but a simple cleaning lady. I drop by various homes & Restaurants for a few hours and do the BIG STUFF, you know, the stuff we all hate doing in our own homes....like light fixtures and ceiling fans. Now, if I happen to spruce up YOUR home and then blog about it, don't bitch. Take this as insight, maybe even a clue, LOL.
First, I'd like to explain the differences of either being a maid or cleaning lady.
MAIDS: either live in or come daily to keep homes clean and tidy, they do the dishes, wipe up after the pets and children, and generally keep things in order. Every day.
CLEANING LADIES: come either weekly or bi-weekly, depending on how gross your house is kept. CL's DO NOT DO DISHES that have been left in the sink for a week to grow mold and other biological hazards. We do not put away all your stuff that is strewn about, that is YOUR JOB.
CL's start at the top of the room and work down to the floor (dust floats down...just an FYI). We sweep, mop, dust and wipe down. thats the job.
I clean for the extra money, and quite frankly, it beats waiting tables for the same amount. and is less time consuming, not to mention there is less bullshit to deal with (read: people). I also occasionally act as a hostess for a local steak house, and have come upon cleaning gigs from doing so (Thanks Andy!). I'm sure I will post about both jobs in "Dusted Bunnies".
My key domestic arrangements are with "dream house & single guy" & "oh god, don't make me go there today" (LOL) and "The Hotel".
Thanks be to whomever hears my prayers, I'm doing Dream house this week. "Beasley" the beagle lives at DH, and she makes cleaning enjoyable. She seems happy about it too, must be all the cookies I give her when I get done each room! Sweet tri-colored football that she is, she will waddle in my dreams forever more :)
I wish you all a happy holiday season, no matter if you celebrate chrismahanukakwanza or not. now pick up your used underwear & musty towels off the floor before THE CLEANING LADY gets there!
