Hello!

I hope this isn't too odd of a post, but I'd like to offer my services as a professional housekeeper while I'm still looking for a steady job. I have almost ten years of experience in this line of career, so I know my way around a duster or two. And I'm great at getting all kinds of stains out of rugs and clothes.

I can either do a one-time cleaning of your place, cook up a meal for you, or teach you some tips and tricks to do either yourself for a small fee.

If there's anything else you might need the expertise of a housekeeper for, I'd be happy to help.

Oh, and my name's Thoma for reference!

I don't mind doing little things like this. I can't stand when it piles it, because I'm usually working constantly... and the last thing I want to have to worry about is picking up after him. [ he says, like he's also not a part of the problem. ] But thank you, Thoma. [ he uses the damp towel to give it a final wipe. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Of course.

[ And he doesn't want to pry too much, it'd be rude to, but he is just a bit curious... ]

Seems like your housemate puts a lot of the work on you... ?

[noarchitact]

He thinks he's so much better than me because he has your standard 9-5 job. Not everybody can find something as cushy as he could. tch, And then he comes home expecting the world, meanwhile I haven't slept and I'm rushing to meet a deadline. [ thoma, did you really want to open this can of worms? ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Sometimes people need to let it out and sometimes he's the one who they let it out on. He understands. ]

Wow, it sounds like you have it tough. It sounds like you're both busy types.

[noarchitact]

[ he heaves a sigh, and leans against the counter. ] And having to start from square one is just a pain. I can't wait until we've saved enough money to get out of this apartment.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Well, at least room and board is taken care for us to start, so we have some time to save up. Will you both still be living together?

[ It does kind of sound to Thoma like Kaveh might be happier out on his own? ]

[noarchitact]

Yes, that's the plan. [ ... ] We'll still be living together, yes. [ don't @ him. ]

[ Kaveh you good?? ]

Oh, I see.

... I'll do my best to ease your burdens, at least, so keeping the place clean would be the last thing you need to worry about.
