Cleaning. ALWAYS cleaning.

by Laurel Storey on November 12, 2015

in Me & My Life

Today’s NaBloPoMo prompt asks, “If you had a personal assistant who would do your most dreaded tasks, which items from your to-do list would you assign out?”

Ahem.

Well, since it would be impossible to delegate the work of eating properly and exercising regularly… and since none of the tasks at my paid job are actually dreadful… and since I enjoy most of the stuff on my blogging and creative arts to-do lists… I guess that leaves house and yard work. Cleaning. Gardening. Physical labour. BLERGH.

Yes, that’s what I’d delegate without hesitation.

Cleaning. ALWAYS cleaning.

So I suppose I really don’t need a personal assistant so much as I need a maid or six. And a gardener. And a whole bunch of money to pay my wonderful and dedicated staff very, VERY well.

What do you think?

Which tasks would you delegate to a personal assistant?

  Oh, me too! Strangely enough, though, I quite enjoy UNpacking!

That’s the exact thought that went through my head, “I don’t need an assistant. I need a maid!”

Laurel, although I fought it for the most part when we were in Mumbai, now that we’ve moved to a bigger house, although temporarily, I have a maid who does the cleaning and making chappatis. I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is. I make sure I do the cooking and all the dishes, so as not to get too used to this, in case things change.

If there’s one job I hate doing is making chapati. I know this is something you don’t know but it’s the Indian flat bread that is made fresh from scratch at every meal!

I don’t mind the cleaning. It’s the keeping it that way I need help with. 🙂
