Why guys should all have a cleaning lady


Well, it will help them to start new relationship with the opposite sex. That’s for sure.

I have my roommate who’s scare to take a shower at her boyfriend apartment because the shower is too much disgusting. I don’t know, but I wouldn’t like it, not to be able to take a shower at my boyfriend place. My roommate, she doesn’t seem to care, but if the shower is dirty, I can’t imagine what the rest of the apartment look like… Anyway, I believe guys should have heir own personal cleaning lady because it will help them on having date.

I just taught of those two guys for which I lean the apartment on Saturday morning. With the summer time and everything, they might wanted their apartment clean to be able to bring their date in. It’s the first thing that came at my mind when I was cleaning and it make me laugh. I was laughing alone, the 2 guys were in their respected room.

I think I won’t ever suffer from a lack of work as a cleaning lady.


My life as a cleaning lady – Part 2


I post a new ad for house cleaning in Kijiji and in CraigList and I have received a response this evening. The person ask for 4 to 5 hours. At 12$, it’s not bad, I have a 60$ deal every 2 weeks. So far, I have one regular client for every 2 weeks at 48$. Since it’s every 2 weeks, it’s a little bit tricky to full my week-end booking, but I guess I will get use to it. I just have to follow my agenda. It’s the only thing complicated about being a cleaning lady. My roommate had an agenda that she doesn’t use. She gave it to me and I use it for my cleaning hours.

I also had another good news, a person who will try me and if it’s work out, she’s going to refer me to one of her friend, it will then make a 5 hours for her and a 4 hours for her friend, or something like that.

I get jobs a lot quicker as a cleaning lady that as a regular job seeker. As a regular job seeker, I hate that part between the interview is giving and the answer, if yes or no I am having the job. It’s seem that I have been waiting for ever and it’s have been 1 week or something like that. The other thing is I don’t have the notion of the time. I guess it’s a good thing that I get that agenda after all!

My life as a cleaning lady


I did my first « cleaning job » this morning. I work from 9 to 12. I get 30 bucks for it. I was in a big rush to clean everything. I had to leave at 12 because I needed to get to a new place for 1 in the afternoon. The place needed a hand. Not that it was extra dirty, but the place needed to be clean.

I arrive a little bit a the other place, but anyone notice, since the instructor itself was late. Anyway, in the morning, at my cleaning job, I met a beautiful 11 months old baby girl. She was just too sweet with her grey eyes and brown hair. I clean the place in a hurry, but I didn’t have time to clean the master bedroom and the kitchen.

In the afternoon, I went to my training as a brand new telemarketing agent. I was feeling strange there because I know a little bit about the call center in India. There in India, agents have to learn to speak English as an American and the standard are very high, from what I have seen in a documentary. English is a second language and I won’t denied the fact that it’s not perfect. But since I don’t want to spend my money in some kind or whatever training, my English will stay the way it is. My English is not too bad when it’s come the time to read the script, but when it’s came time to answer questions, it’s another thing. I am just hoping that people hang up on me when I will call them.

Things are getting better for me as a cleaning lady. I get pay cash when the job is done and I get paid between 10$ to 12$ per hour. I am working tomorrow all day long, I am doing a 7 hours, 4 at one place and 3 at another one. Unfortunately, I have nothing for Sunday yet. I just don’t know what’s going on with the interviews I got last week and this week also. I am getting tired.

My job search disaster


I from New Brunswick and for a reason or another, whenever I say I from there, I receive sometimes nasty comments. It’s not happening all the time, it’s have happen three times. When it happen to me the first time, I was about 24. I was in Ottawa. I didn’t get the job. When I call about that one, I receive a comment like: “Where looking for someone with more office experience”. I didn’t die from it. There’s just this type of recruiter who call you to make you loose your time. For recruiters who are no New Brunswicker friendly, I say: just forgive about me and my résumé. Anyway, for that job in Ottawa, during the interview, the guy just start complaining about New Brunswick, he was from New Brunswick himself, and it’s make me sick. I don’t go really often to New Brunswick, but I don’t want to hear something bad about it, it drive me mad.

I am still on this No New Brunswicker friendly because it’s happening twice to me today. Once, I was returning a call that I miss for a job. I was calling from a pay phone and I have problem to hear. I was calling from Bonaventure, close to the arena they have there. And then the guy ask where I came from, well next time, I will answer: does that really matter for the job? I have an interview fix next week but I won’t show up, trust me on that one. It’s annoy me so bad when he said: “They speak French in New Brunswick?” I prefer to become a cleaning lady then to continue to heard those types of comment. Well, hear me speak English, you’ll notice that yes, there’s French in New Brunswick.

Next incident, later on this afternoon, the comment came from a recruiter from an agencies. He doesn’t speak French, might have went one or two times to New Brunswick and there, for a reason or another, the guy complaint on how small it was, nananani, nanana. It has nothing to do with the job! I won’t work for him either. Today was a bad day.

My new career: cleaning lady


I am about to start a new career... Saturday, June 16, 2007, it will be my first day of work as a cleaning lady. For the few of them who know me well, it’s just impossible to imagine. Well, unemployment have a lot to do about it. For the two last weeks, I have been unemployed. I decided to do something about it. I have been to some interviews, but I won’t receive news any time soon, only next week.

In the meantime, I post different ads. It’s been working and surprise, I am a brand new cleaning lady. It’s a good way to make extra money and it will help me to pass time.
