After reading the section in Barbara Ehrenreich's "Nickel and Dimed" on maids, I will never hire a cleaning service. The whole thing just disgusted me.

Who else has read that book?

I am crabby and nauseated today, for no real reason. I wish I could curl up in bed with my dog, and some books.

The things that impressed me the most, even though I already knew about them, were the homeless waitstaff and the whole idea of hiring a cleaning service. Actually, hiring a chain corporate cleaning service. I would never hire a service at all, but if I did I'd go for a small independent. But the whole power-over dynamic does bother me.
