No sign of the cleaner today & no communication either.
Sheās meant to clean from 9am-12pm every Wednesday.
We donāt trust her enough to give her a key & what relationship can survive when thereās a fundamental lack of trust?
She showed up at 11.20am last week but Iām fucking off to run some errands if sheās not here by midday.

She has to go
9am-12pm was to ensure the cleaning was completed after breakfast & before lunch in the current working from home environment. Iād pop out of the office* where I work when she would clean that room & so on. But this turning up at any time has serious unintended consequences. Iām not deferring my lunch until 2.30pm/3pm & Iām not being forced to buy lunch outside on days where Iāve prepared a hearty soup to eat at home. Itās fucking annoying when Iām sitting at the kitchen table having lunch while sheās arsing around with buckets, mops & sprays in the hall & adjacent rooms. Or even coming into the kitchen to get stuff. Absolutely no respect for boundaries, like a West Bank Jewish settler. Itās actually devastating.

Could you set her up on a date with sid? Sheāll have to move to galway, obviously
Did she show up @Bandage?
No sign. I went out at midday to get my haircut & for a coffee. Back just before 1pm but no communication from her.
This ongoing episode has shaken my faith in the entire services/cleaning industry. Despite having the financial means to employ a cleaner, perhaps I need to become one of those oddballs who choose to change their own bedclothes & scrub their own showers like sir @glasagusban.

A brief but powerful email/text/whatsapp/phonecall terminating the arrangement is all you need now. Dereliction of duty, poor timekeeping and your desire for a more efficient, reliable employee can all be communicated in a two (2) sentence message.
A brief thanks and good wishes for the future will salve your conscienceā¦ā¦ Avoid any to and fro stuffā¦ā¦Terminateā¦.

Do her looks come into this decision making?
So @Bandage - next Wednesday you should go work from somewhere else between 9-12 and see if she messages you that she canāt get in. If she doesnāt then she might get the message and just fuck off for herself.
You have her where you want her now after that non-appearance. Does she even clean the house to a good standard when sheās present?

UPDATE/FĆGRA:
My life partner was in business meetings in town this morning but she texted me a while ago to say the cleaner had sent her a message at 11.30am to advise she wouldnāt be coming today & asking if she could clean every Friday at 11am from now on.
