Bumping again.

Got no follow-up from my last maid, and this one I found on Craigslist doesn't even have her own cleaning supplies..

Whatever you do, don't respond to a Korean woman answering craigslist ads named Susan. She's an old ajumma. It also, somehow, took her an hour to cover a distance that would take me 8 minutes getting to my place. Then, in the three hours she had to clean, the results would indicate that she halfassed the dishes and bathroom for 30 minutes, then took a nap on the couch for two and a half hours. Complete waste of time and money, she didn't do anything. I only took her on after three Filippina women literally said they were on their way over the weekend... then for some reason, likely cultural laziness, just never showed up.

Craigslist is a funny place though, I got a a ton of replies so I don't think there is a supply issue, and it's pretty cheap (assuming they actually do their job-- 10k an hour), but don't hire that C word Susan. I also stated in the ad that I didn't have many cleaning products and got a number of angry emails and texts basically telling me that I was a jerkoff for asking people to bring their own supplies. Susan also took a very liberal helping to my snack offerings. Mistakes, mistakes...

^Craigslist doesn't work for me on this computer but I hope that's not mine. If it's an ad with a guy asking for a topless maid and a happy ending I definitely didn't get it...
