whatever you get just know it could die at any moment in my experience.

I would focus on seeing if anything in the kitchen or bathrooms are embarrassingly gross and get the dirtiness down to manageable levels.

Weā€™re in an ok spot, she just (endearingly!) wants everyone to think the best of us, even the cleaners who are being paid to clean.

Iā€™ve also never asked her this, but I think she finds vacuuming to be calming in some way. I enjoy mowing the lawn.

When I was a kid and my mom made us clean before the housekeeper came I thought she was completely insane. As an adult, I totally get it. I donā€™t want the housekeeper dealing with clutter or whatever, I want them actually cleaning stuff.

Tidying up before the cleaning person comes is pretty common. It kinda makes sense too, since you presumably want the cleaning person to spend the bulk of her time on cleaning tasks neither of you like doing.

Hey thatā€™s a good point.

I was just watching a video class series on Nebula about video editing where the guy was going over what they see as the basic requirements and lol am I a long way off. He suggests stuff like a 64-core processor. Gonna get that and the $5k 30TB internal SSD as soon as I figure out how to plant these money trees.

Otoh he said itā€™s fine to embrace a style of video presentation and editing. Maybe I should just embrace the magic of elite photoshops slotted over well-engineered audio and forget ever needing camera footage again. Iā€™d never worry about running out of space again :grin:

Vacuuming is a bit weird, but my wife has a whole protocol before the house cleaner comes. Itā€™s mostly decluttering, so that stuff doesnā€™t get in the way of cleaning or put away in the wrong place by the cleaner.

Yeah, we decluttered/tidied - I thought vacuuming was a bridge too far as theyā€™re 100% going to vacuum. I think a chunk of my wife doing that is she finds vacuuming relaxing in some Zen way.

These ladies went far above and beyond. I was working while they were here, went outside after they left, and they stacked wood. I had dumped a few wheelbarrows of firewood on the porch. Never even occurred to me that they would do that. Iā€™m going to keep my head on a swivel, I donā€™t want them to feel like they have to stack wood!

Poor Dog never really did anything meaningful on the show. Other dogs got to kill people and leave clues and shit. Dog didnā€™t even rate a real name.

I like how mystery fans all unanimously agree that Columbo was the GOAT.

Iā€™m not sure if Muller and Scully ever once solved a case, they should be top right quadrant next to Dale Cooper.

OMFG Charlie Day is in there too, this meme is extraordinary. Of course Leslie Nielsen could solve the case without knowing whatā€™s going on.

They solved cases all the time you just arenā€™t ready for the solution!
