Net result: every time the cleaning woman came early in the morning, she shut the door and I got a cold shower. After a while, they really weren't so bad. I even started staying in a little extra just to wake up.

Still, I'm glad we're replacing the boiler to fix the problem.
We had a similar problem when our cleaning lady kept closing the door to the shower where we keep the cats' litter boxes.* You know how we fixed it? Post-it note on the shower door that says "Please leave open."

But hey, if you don't mind cold showers and don't want to sully yourself by communicating with the help, then your way works too.

*No, we don't use that shower for actual bathing. We are fancy and have 3 showers in our house -- one for me, one for my husband, and one for the cats' litter boxes. Not having children has its privileges.

when I worked for the gov, our cleaning people were from Central America. The everyday ladies were thoughtful and nice, but they kept locking my office door and i had no key. finally I put a note by the door that read "
por favor, no cerrar la puerta. No tengo una llave." except we didn't know how to say "Key" so we drew a symbol for one.

but the floor waxing crew was all young guys, and they'd only come through one every few months. I left my office one night we knew they were coming and this was on my wall.

(it was a phase is all i can say)
when i came in the morning it had been stolen, torn from the wall- and they ripped it down so that the extreme corners remained along with the staples. there is no note to correct that shit.

You roll out a red carpet whenever you have sex? And they said I was fancy.

Our cleaning lady is obsessive compulsive. If we suggest anything to her, she cannot stop until it is done, even if what we did was tell her NOT to do it. Saying "don't close the door" means the door must be closed.

There are many ways in which this is an excellent trait. However, there are some drawbacks.

At the cold pool on 63rd St., I saw a guy in there reading the newspaper as if he were sipping a latte at Le Bilbouquet with his morning croissant. MOTHERFUCKER!! I don't know how he did it.
I did that on vacation -- it was really awesome -- go in the cold pool for 10 min and then into the hot tub. The hot tub feels great after.

(the cold pool is not as bad as the ice bath -- but I now feel empowered to do 10 min in the ice bath. I wish Kramer was my neighbor so that I could jump into a hot tub right after)

Our cleaning lady is great...too bad the nanny trashes the house about four hours after she leaves.

I thought it weird that the "where are they now" bit at the end was only joan and Cherie. Lita was semi-famous, the bass player (whose name they changed completely- composite?) was in the bangles for goodness sakes, and the drummer died of cancer. they should have mentioned that.

This is what you get when you staple posters to the walls of an office. I stopped doing that in high school.

They were telling you to get some class and invest in a $5 frame at a yardsale.
