So we've got a housekeeper, sort of. I've come to accept that this is not the most stellar example of the employment pool. But this is who answered the ad. We're coping. (Apparently the unemployment rate this year is very low and it shows. All the stores in town are looking for help, too.)
What I do everyday is go back thru the rooms when she's gone and I put everything back where it belongs because she insists on moving things around no matter what I say.
If I say the curtains should be open, she closes them. Trash can should be next to the dresser, it's behind a chair. I'd say the guests are doing this except it's every day. If only she could do every day what I tell her to do.
I'm testing my theory tomorrow that she does this stuff deliberately. If I can get to a particular guest room first I'm going to place everything out the way I want it and see if she moves it.
Years ago, heck weeks ago, this would have had me tearing my hair out, but now it's like an episode of Fawlty Towers.
Next year. Ah the dreams of the innkeeper. Next year I'm hoping for 4-5 applicants so I can pick 2.
The lament of the innkeeper. (I am laughing so don't worry I'm cracking up.)
