Thank Bawb my 3rd canceled today, I get grumpy af on a third.

I clean for a well to do or is collector guy yesterday who left his ranch hand behind to babysit me while he went to the airport, Mr. Ranch hand had to come out and quickly. Quickly let me know either something about carpet cleaning by asking if I had a power take off in my van that proceeded to an extra 45 minutes of conversation on this job.

He regrets ever selling his business and told him the secret to having fun carpet cleaning is just doing one or two jobs a day. He agreed admitting he made the mistake of trying to do four or five back in his day.

Two jobs today only. I’m in the 2 a day camp. This time of year though, I get property management work order dumps. Causing me to work more than I’d like.
(complain about be slow and complain about being busy).
I put the empties at the end of the day so I can be grumpy by myself.

As I was rolling up my pressure hose, old timer came out to pay me.

A perfectly timed knot developed as I reeled it in in front of him so I took the opportunity to ask if hose tantrums were a thing back then.


He knew.


We laughed.

Seriously, one of the things I hate or hated about doing residential is being on other people’s schedule one way or another😏 Even making the schedule they try to press you. Commercial does too, but not as bad. Usually they give you a key.

2 a day isn’t an option for me


it might be after 30 years on the floor with several other large dollar money streams that equal or exceed the wand slogging and pad-ee-whacking biz.... like Mike

This is my goal I am happy just cleaning 1-2 jobs a day but that wouldn’t pay the bills

I have techs out running all day I do a residential job here and there but mostly all the commercial work I do myself I like this pace for now

There you go, that’s the ticket. I just do residential as an accommodation and always have. That can be too much sometimes. Being on SS and my jani biz, I’m less accommodating.

I can't keep track of all you fence-posts. Especially when you go and switch your name.

I shoot for 3, but this year is way off so when there's work I go for it.

It'll be the death ☠️ of me 🥺
