Globe and Mail Update
Globe and Mail – Apr 22, 2006
“I won’t talk about it any more because it ruins my day. ”I begin to sense why Maggie is afraid to leave a house less than perfect to ask clients to pay for extra time. It’s no coincidence that only women work for companies with the word “maid” in their names. These same companies promise clients the moon and people like Maggie destroy themselves trying to meet expectations. Without understanding any of this I become the Clock Nazi. I give Maggie a 30-minute heads-up. Then I hustle her out the door… The good news is the job is a move-in which means we can probably eat indoors. The bad news is the job is a move-in which means there’s no toilet paper in the bathroom. The client who is moving in later that week wants the kitchen and bathroom cleaned. Before she leaves she rattles off her entire wish list: walls windows Venetian blinds baseboards light fixtures. I take the filthy kitchen. Maggie takes the equally filthy bathroom but gets distracted by the windows and Venetian blinds. I mutter that the client will be very unhappy if the bathroom isn’t done.

Fire company members will wait until after the case is concluded in court to decide whether Lewis remains in the company Sheftic said… People are worried but they’re also upset because of the nature of what he did.
