They say that if you do what you love, then the money will follow. So I thought I would practice that mantra right here on my blog. I love to complain, and am disappointed on a regular basis, so the combination of being disappointed and sharing those disappointments with you, my large audience, was undeniable. Plus, this gives me yet another opportunity to have a feature on my blog that doesn’t actually require me to write anything clever…I let the photos do most of the work for me.
As you are confronted with what I have to contend with on a daily basis, you will surely feel my pain, and in doing so, will want to help/support me in some way. That is why I have setup a fund that you can contribute to; this is important for 2 reasons. First, it will help alleviate your guilt over having a life that is not riddled with disappointments. Second, it will help me bring full circle the 'do what you love and the money will follow' philosophy.

Today’s disappointment is in my cleaner. This could actually be a biweekly disappointment as she comes every 2 weeks. So yesterday I was excited to get home as it’s always nice to enter your house after the cleaner has been there, that pine fresh scent, etc. Not so much with our cleaner, it smells the same as when I left. Not bad, just not freshly cleaned. Then, when I went to the sink and looked out the window to enjoy our gardens in the backyard, I was disgusted (or, should I say DISAPPOINTED) to see a number of dead flies/bugs in the window sills! GROSS! I suppose I don’t expect the cleaner to clean ALL our window sills, but you would think that the brand new windows that are right above the kitchen counter/sink would be the 3 sills you DO clean. I’m thinking I need to get a new cleaner. (I should also mention that on her 2nd visit she knocked over a brand new oil painting, smashing the frame, will cost us about $300 to replace….and another time she forgot to finish the bathroom….).
FINAL NOTE: Even though this is called “Daily Disappointment”, don’t expect to see a daily submission. I’m using what’s called creative license in the title.
I thought this new feature would be REALLY interesting, but I find myself somewhat ... disappointed
ReplyDeleteGet used to it.
ReplyDeleteHow hideous. It's like you live in a slum. I'm worried for you.
ReplyDeleteHere in Newton we do not have insects.
Yes, those bugs are really G-R-O-S-S. We don't have them in California either. Maybe the dogs attract bugs? Or the husband? Or maybe somebody is taking too much time for their blog and not enough for simple cleanliness and decency at home?
ReplyDeleteAnd what about Ringo? I'm starting to think that he's been locked in that nasty basement or worse. I haven't heard anything about him in quite a while and I frankly fear for his welfare.
Interesting comments Tom, Jack, Cathy, I should assume the check is in the mail?
ReplyDeleteFlies are gone: I think the cat ate them
