The cleaning lady.
Believe it or not, I’ve started using a cleaning lady.¬† Mostly it’s because I hate doing the dishes so much, and they pile up, making the sink all gross and everything.¬† My co-worker suggested her ayi, and first she came over last week, and then this week.¬† I think I’m not going to have her any more, though.¬† I don’t want her to stay for hours until my house is clean.¬† I’d only like her to clean up at a reasonable speed for like one hour, and then leave.¬† The rest I can do myself.¬† But last week and today, I kept telling her she was done and could leave, but she wouldn’t do it.¬† She kept saying she had to clean this and that.¬† I also felt she was working slowly so she could get more hours.¬† It really galled me and I didn’t know what to do without acting angry.¬† How do you say, “Please get out of my house right now!” without being impolite?¬†
