Blog:  A shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences or hobbies.

You may have learned that this isn't your "normal" business and I really don't care about PC.  Part of this nation's problem is too much PC --- so phony.. this PC.  Ironic, eh?  So here is another out of the ordinary business "blog"...

Absolutely Clean is having a tough week.  I've said good bye to clients that expect two of my staff to spend 4-5 hours deep cleaning a house that hasn't been touched in a month for the same price as a maintenance clean ... our snow birds are flying away ( we tried to tell them there was no snow here so why not just stay this year???)  We lose clients to over spending at Christmas time (they will be back later.. )    Crystal's sister's boyfriend passed away ... Jean's daughter has cancer and Julie's husband had a heart attack tonight.   The list goes on ...

Boy are we praying.

As I sit here in my office listening to the phones ring, watching our living social numbers climb, hearing Dana cheer when our teams call in to tell her they have completed a house (we have three houses today to work in that somehow missed the schedule and staff that are ill and have the day off!) so she is so excited that we will be able to work in those homes, I am reflecting on all that “stand by me”. We give.  We give a lot.  We give third, fourth, or ten (too many) chances to our staff as we are about mentoring and growing (if they want to be… not everyone wants to be a better person but we try!) We give free cleans, we give Ipads, product, our time.  Our staff cares.  I can hear it in our building.  We stand together.
