So as I mentioned, I hired someone to do a deep clean of my apartment for two reasons - 1. my mom coming on Thursday, and 2. the PM's wife/PM's walk-through on Thursday.
I got about 40 texts from this lady in total. 25 of them were her checking to make sure I'd gotten the things she'd "suggested." Already I was getting to where this was a definite two-time deal. First and last.
Then last night just before NE and I were about to head out for dinner, I get a text from her telling me to empty my vacuum bag and make sure I had her money in cash.
Ummmm.... okay.
So on our way back we stopped by an ATM.
Then just before NE left, we opened up my vacuum cleaner to change the bag. Slight problem. None of the bags I had been hauling around for the last oh 5 years fit the vacuum!! (Can you tell how often I vacuum?)
So I was faced with having to go out looking for a bag to fit it at 11:00 p.m. An 18+yo vacuum.
Thankfully NE was willing to go to his place and bring me his vacuum.
One of his cats has a bit of a ... urination problem. (Yes, she has been checked out medically.) The vacuum had been on its side. The cord had been peed on.
So NE spent about 35 minutes cleaning the cord so the lady cleaner wouldn't smell the cat pee.
Finally I got to bed about 12:30a.m.
Before leaving for work I made sure to put my extra key under the mat by my door.
About 10:30 I get two phone calls in a row and a voicemail. I couldn't do anything about the phone calls, but I could read the text.
She couldn't find the key.
I asked her if the door was locked. (Panicking thinking someone saw me put the key under the mat and took it, and went inside my place. Not that I have much worth stealing.)
Nope, it was locked.
So I get some coworkers to cover the desk and rush home. Only to find that she isn't there!! Guess what WAS there? Right where I had left it this morning?
Yep, my key.
So I text her back and forth a bit again. She's insisting the key hadn't been there. My last text to her was: The key was there. The key is there.
I hear nothing else from her. So I have no idea whether or not she came back and actually cleaned my place!
When I got home I found out that she had cleaned it. Whew.
She definitely better think twice before asking me to recommend her to anyone!
What a Fiasco!

Ceejay - It was a decent job. If not for everything else, I might have been satisfied with it.

About the cat; I'm betting it's a female and that there's another cat(s) in the house? I had 2 females for years and the 1 cat would urinate around the house. I thought she had medical issues, but she didn't. She was marking her territory and didn't like the other cat around. When the other cat passed, the peeing magically stopped.

Liz - yep, a female in a house of multiple other cats.
PS - I'll take a look at that. Thanks
