Anyways, the maintenance man in our building is also our cleaning service. Well he does a horrible job of cleaning. Boss' wife mentioned many months ago that our company should just pay me to clean since I clean up what the cleaning guy does 3/4 the time. Well, I thought about asking my boss, but I've been kinda too shy to ask that question.

Well today my boss asked if I needed anything before he headed out for the weekend. I said "yeah, can you sign the cleaning guy's check, although you should just make it out to me, I'd do a better job". LOL, can't beleive I said that. Boss said "if you are serious, I'd much rather pay you than that BLEEP (can't say what he said, lol)". I said "YES, I am serious. I only ask the company buy a vacume cleaner because I don't want to provide one". He said "ok, that's great, we'll start paying you to do it next month and I don't want you to be cleaning anymore than 1 night a week". LOL. Our cleaning service comes in 2x a week.

Sooooooo I will be getting an extra $125 to $250 guaranteed a month!!!! I am so happy. When legislators are in session I would get $250 which is 7 months out of the year and the other five I would get $125. Well, I don't know if the boss knows it goes down in price when not in session, so I will have to talk to him about that. Hehehehehe.

Sorry this is so long, but we could use this money to pay off my stupid debt I incurred a few years back Now Dh can't hold it against me because between this extra income and my second job of AHA, I might be able to pay that all off myself. YIPPEE!!!!

The hardest part about cleaning this big office will be vacuming. I have some dusting to do, which I already do and I would have to take the trash out. If the trash is heavy at all, which isn't most weeks, I'll have DH come in and do it. YEAH!!!!

Okay, sorry this got so long.

coasterqueen replied:
LOL! I didn't post what NOT SO DEAR HUSBAND said when I called him. He said "you should have asked for $300!" I get off early today, so there will be a frying pan waiting with his name on it! The other guy got paid that, so I'm happy with that price, lol. Shhh, don't tell anyone but I'll be doing most of the cleaning on my lunch hour, so it'll work out anyways, lol.

jen replied: Yeah I am a cleaning freak! i would have a little chart of stuff something that takes 15 minutes of my lunch break and do it every day then on friday run the vacuum when all the Big Wigs leave early! LOL! Or just invest in a Roomba and turn her loose on your lunch break and sit back and relax!

coasterqueen replied:
Oooh a roomba is a great idea. But then DH would want to steal that for home. Ah, I don't boss would go for the roomba though. Oh well. I'm still so excited. Hehehehe
