In 2008 when we were in-between houses living in our condo, we hired a cleaning lady. She was always late and never came at the time she said she would. Our condo was supposed to be cleaned every other Saturday morning, but it always turned out to be Saturday afternoon.
In the fall, this poses problems for me because it is football season. The weekend of the Ohio game, we had the same problems mentioned above. She was supposed to come in the morning, but instead came in the early afternoon. So at half time at the Ohio game, we were forced to leave the condo (maybe not forced, but wifey demands we are not home when the house is cleaned ((she needs to be checked in to a mental institution?)) and we decided to kill time by going shopping.
While at the store, my Mom calls. She has a habit of calling me during Michigan football games for commentary on the game (Michigan won! or Michigan Lost!). Normally if I am planning on watching the game on DVR delay, I will not answer, but this time I did. Instead of "Hello", I said, I am not watching the game, so don't blow it for me. But apparently she didn't hear that, and spoiled it for me anyway. I realize we had no chance to win in hindsight, but that doesn't matter.
Thinking back on this, I pledge to myself I will NEVER let this happen again. I refuse to be run from my house to miss/watch the Ohio game on delay due to the ineptness of a cleaning lady running on time.
