Did you ever?

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night because a cricket invaded your dreams?
I’m ready to smoke that little critter out ![]()
They came today

After not coming, like promised, on Thursday and me stepping on Mr. Accountants feet yesterday, THEY showed up today.
Unannounced. What else.
I mean, come on, women over here don’t do nothing and doing a tour for nothing, if someone really isn’t there is good, no? Less work *shrug* who cares (they say).
Anyhow, after telling Mr. accountant yesterday to give me an advance notice, I actually didn’t want to open the door. My house was a major disaster area, I was in the middle of laundry and not in the mood for more mess thanks to their “cleaning".
After Mr. Boss Harris called me though, I opened the door and let them in.
The same two guys like last week, with a ladder and a Backpack and a piece of Paper Towels.
Yes.
Paper Towels.
No machine.
First of I asked, where the machine is.
No machine.
One of them was holding the ladder, the other one started wiping the AC thing.
I’m like “THAT’s gonna be IT?!”
“Yes”
I’m like “And you think, that’s gonna do any good? And why the heck could you NOT do that last week?!” ![]()
I just left them there, they discussed for a while and I went back in and told them to just keep working, so they might be out of my eyesight soon.
Mr. Boss Harris saved the day, by letting them take of those things and cleaning them, once again in my bathroom, with my sponge and soap.
But hey, at least he did clean them.
Maybe I’m just a bitch, but the way people work over here and get away with it amazes me ever and ever again.

At the car wash

We’ve been at the car wash yesterday.
It’s always fun.
You get a seat to watch the show and tea to relax, a bunch of good picture Opportunities ![]()
This time we saw how they spray painted a car. Just like that.
No tape, just a towel over the wind shield.
Huh?
After they sprayed the front and the sides, the car just took off.
Now, let’s play a little game here.
People that live over here are excluded from giving the answer right away.
Who knows what these guys were doing?
(We learned the answer from a nice young Kuwaiti man, but I want to see if anyone of you gets the idea. I wouldn’t have figured it. But after he told us,it was pretty clear ![]()
