First my husband said this Friday the high speed would be installed, then the

If you have a scheduled time for her to be there, then unless you have a reason to change it, seems like you should get first priority. Back when I had money, I hired and got rid of so many cleaning people. 1. Said she'd come and didn't show up. 2. Told her not to throw out my magazines until I had sorted through them. She threw a bunch of Mother Earth News in a burning barrel (which luckily I didn't use, so rescued them). 3. One came once and called to say she had found another job (too bad, I liked her) 4. Another one came here just fine, but she couldn't see dirt. How do you clean when you can't see dirt? I had to stick with her like glue or else she'd miss corners when she was sweeping, half clean the dishes, etc. It's like they're supposed to be working for you, but they just really get on my nerves.

I've been too lazy to look for another one. Our house is so big and I ain't getting any younger..lol She's not cheap and think she's been fudging on the time when I am not home. She is very trustworthy. Something else I noticed that totally grossed me out was she would drink from a coffee mug and just place it back in the cabinet. I told her, once I found out, to put it in the dishwasher.

She's trustworthy in that she doesn't steal, but you can't trust her to not drink and put stuff back in the cabinet without washing it first. Since Hepetitus is easily gotten that way, I would have freaked out.

My husband agrees the place needs cleaning (shows how bad it is). I thought I had one and a half weeks, now I have two days. But yes, I really would rather have it sooner than later. Esp. since they will bill us for all of Sept either way. Thanks and take care.

True, at least they gave us some kind of warning. When someone shows up without warning, the dust bunnies behind stuff (like the CPU) can be embarassing. I can't believe he didn't even offer to help you. Yes, we have the newspaper problem, too. I asked my husband if we could have a newspaper box for the house and he had some problem with it. I think all the newspapers organized and in one space like a magazine rack or something would be so much better. Thanks and take care.

Yes, changing dates and/or times can certainly throw things into a dither. Thanks and take care.
