Just need to rant a little

Nothing major.

Just FRUSTRATING!

 

So yeah, I cleaned for that lady on Monday.  I knew going into it that she was OCD. And I BUSTED ASS to try to get everything done to her liking (knowing that since it was my first time there I'd probably miss a lot).  And the whole time I was there, she kept saying things like "If I come behind you and put things back where I like them, don't take offence" and "I know you won't get it all right the first time" and "if I notice something else you need to do I'll let you know" - So I thought, Ok, we can make this work.  I know I'll miss stuff, but she will give me a chance to get them right.

 

Well, I was wrong apparently.

 

I get a freaking ONE LINE e-mail from her today that said "I will no longer require your services" Yep, one line.  WTF?

 

Least you could do is tell me WHY.

 

Did I not meet your expectations?
Did you not like me?

Did you not like the way I did things?

 

I promise it won't break my heart.  I've dealt with rejection before, so it's really nothing new.  And honestly, it doesn't break my heart that you let me go - cause the house and all the work I did KICKED MY ASS!  (I enjoyed it though, lol.  I enjoyed helping out, and the exercise I got was good for me, even though it SUCKED the next day) I'm honestly not surprised she let me go - being OCD and all.  There are certain ways they like things done, and if you don't get them right that's the end of it.  So It wasn't really a surprise.  It did catch me off guard just a little that she sent the "you're fired" email after all she was saying.  I thought for sure she'd at least give me TWO days to get it right. 

 

NOPE!

 

So yeah, it frustrates me to no end.  If you wanna be that way I don't really wanna work for you anyway.  And I honestly feel sorry for anybody that you put through that BS, because that's what it is.  You're house is clean.  It is BEAUTIFUL!  The single speck of  dust on the fan you never use, or the speck of soap scum on the shower door, are NOT THAT BAD!  Believe me, heh.  I've dealt with FAR WORSE in some of the places I've cleaned.  You should be PROUD of your house.  I feel bad that you deal with that much anxiety that you think everything has to be PERFECT.  That's no life.  Not really.  And I feel bad for your hubby that he has to deal with you being that way too.  GET SOME FREAKING HELP and enjoy your life. 

That's something that took me a while to figure out.  LIFE IS NOT PERFECT.  And truly, perfection is a flaw.  You have to make mistakes to be human.  It's ok to get dirty, cause it washes off.  It's ok for things to get dirty cause it just shows that you actually USE them.  It's ok for the house not to be PERFECT cause it shows that you LIVE there, and not just exist.  It will never cease to amaze me how horrible OCD can get before people accept they have a problem.  If it's affecting your life, and causing you to go through HANDFULS of cleaners, something is WRONG.  That's not NORMAL behavior.  Not even a little.

I hope she can accept she has a problem, and that she can get some help so she can start to REALLY enjoy life, and not just exist.  Cause to me, that's what it seems like she is doing.

 

Anyway, enough bitching about her and the way she treated me. 

 

It's her loss.  ;)

 

Cause if she'd given me an actual chance, she would have seen that I'm pretty freaking awesome at what I do once I get a chance to actually get it right.

I LOVE ME too much to deal with that BS.

YOUR LOSS

LATERS!
