For The Love Of Money

Me-Myself&I posted on Jul 27, 2009 | views: 121 | Tags: dirty dudes, cleaning woman
Oh i just love my new free time i have for myself. At first i thought i might miss the money but NO i don't. I don't miss the nervousness of walking in and worrying about if this is going to turn out bad. I felt things getting out of hand. Even when i have some pretty good comebacks. Words did not stop what was coming!
 
I have cancelled my services with three clients. Each one made me nervous and a panic would come over me the minute i enter their homes.
 
One was so far away, it took me 45 minutes to get there. It wasn't worth the drive and the trouble.... He was always had the need to check my work, kinda thingy! I disliked that alot. I try too hard to please and work too hard to have someone walking behind me. Didn't like to clean when he was around anyway. I work alone. ;~)
 
The second one ....well, remember the one older man that his daughter was trying to hook me up with. YUK! He was always hugging me. Do not do that! I don't know you well enough for you to come into my space. huh.... Well, he came to the door in his underwear! No way! You'll a sick old dirty man. Clean your own home!
 
The third one ....wow.... this threw me for a loop! I liked him and his wife. She is fighting for her life with lung cancer and they had a new beautiful home. I felt needed there. BUT he kept getting worse each time i came to clean. Always telling me he liked this and that about me. Once he kept staring at my boobs! I turned my back and said i had a nice looking back as well. Not funny, i was trying to keep it light. It didn't get any better. While she was getting her treatments one day, he crossed the line! He engulfed me! He tried to kiss me, i pushed him down and he then wanted me to sit in his lap!!!! What the hell! Another bites the dust! I'm done here. see ya
 
This all was going on when i was working on my bankruptcy papers.....which is signed, sealed and delivered to the court! :~)
 
I had to tell my husband why i was coming undone. What i was hiding, he felt it for awhile now. After i released the truth, i felt better. I was losing alot of money a month. It bothered me till i realized.... Hey.... you(me) ;~) you are going to worry over money before you do your own self respect! are you crazy woman? No i am not.
 
I will not allow this behavior for any amount of money.... So this morning realizing  ....hey, this is nice to have some free time for myself and my own home. *smile*
 
I have no idea why i allowed each one of their behavior to have gone so far! Was it for the love of money?! huh Well, i am glad i quit them! The pressure is gone all the way around. Things are looking up for me. I just may have found my backbone!
 
Well, it's a beautiful day. I only have one home to clean today at noon so..... my work week is starting out great! *smile* I hope your day is a nice, bright and cheery one! Take care of yourselves. xo ~see ya

    Not funny, nope not a bit..... and GOOD for you!!!! I say!!  You don't need dirty dudes for dirty deeds!

    Wow those are totally unimaginable scenarios you had to walk away from!  Although, they are believable, as I saw some unfathomable things when I was cleaning houses too.  You just never think a person would be a certain way until you clean their house, lol.  Glad to hear the stress has lifted from you and you're feeling good.  I like this light, happy, airy attitude you've got about you.  Keep it up!

    Quietone ~ huh.... i know we spoke about this on the phone but this morning i felt ....free and relaxed. a couple of weeks ago, i would be on my way to the Mr. Underwear man. ;~) i am glad that is behind me.... and not seeing the old dirty dude's behind! lol....

    Hegemone ~ i may turn the other way, once or even twice.... forgiving and going on but.... i wish i would of nipped it in the bud. oh well, what matters is that i wised up and blew them off! yup, alot of stress has been removed, all the way around.

    Fraggle ~ yup, i have been on a roll these days in ....speaking up for myself. Some close folks, including the man of the house, i have told them....that the buck stops here and now! it's kinda of strange, for me to hear/see myself, grow-up. and for the others, they are shocked to see/hear things from me that normally i don't do but these days i am in charge. ;~)

    Uniquely ~ well they all kept .... adding to the sitution. only because i do not react properly in the first place!  i am learning, quickly. *smile*

    Well it's amost 11 and i need to get out of my pjs so..... ain't it cool to be kicked back... hell yes! *smile* you all have a fine and dandy day! take care ~see ya

    That is terrible, it takes all kinds, I had that same thing happen to me when I cleaned a house once, never went back.
    Glad you were able to get away.
  • hotaka said on Jul 28, 2009....
    Oh my, MM&I, in a way I can't say I am surprised but then again it's for shame that such things are common enough that it's not a surprise to read about. There's the old story about the man of the house having it with the maid or the cleaning lady. Is that why people call in a cleaning lady? I can't believe the guy with the sick wife! What a dirty bastard. At a time when his wife needs all his love and support he's trying to get his fix on the side.

    Well, good for you getting out of that business. Hold your head up high and find something that keeps you away from people who treat you based on the misunderstood reputation of what should be a decent profession.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jul 28, 2009....

    MsStar~ yup, it sure did bother me. still does too. but i do have enough clients that i'll be just fine. the rest are all women, i'll be safe.....wait.... maybe! lol... just kidding. have a good day.

    Hotaka ~ Hi! well it wasn't because i was wearing one of those little aprons or anything. lol.... oh shit. yes, without a doubt, the dirty dude should of mind his ps and qs.... his wife is a special lady, i hope all is well for her! i miss her and wish i could call and see how she is. i just told her my work load was too heavy to come back. :~( she called a few times to continue our talk.... she was in treatment when i called. i could not answer the phone. i rather her think i'm a bitch than her husband an asshole! what a shame.

  • hotaka said on Jul 28, 2009....
    Maybe it's better. But too bad the truth is the opposite: you are the good girl and he is the ass.
