Idiots Vacuuming

In today's version of the Honey Daily News, which we've learned should really be called the Sporadic Honey News, we take you to Honey's Harrowing House of Employment, where the janitorial service was recently replaced by a new housecleaning team. This intrepid reporter discovered that it's never a good idea to mix business and friendship, especially when other bad judgement is involved.

As it turns out, the janitorial service was sacked (the reigning kings of the mop and dustrag weren't in the back pockets of the building owners as the newly crowned service is), but not the maids themselves. Thus, the change was management-based, and the new management couldn't stomach forcing 2 incompetent maids to join the unemployment lines. The day after the managerial menagerie, witnesses at Honey's Harrowing House of Employment reported no change in the building conditions. After three weeks of dusty floors and dirty glass, the new janitorial management is baffled. "But I raised their pay and talked to them," the glassy-eyed friend of the building owners and new boss of the maids told the receptionist. "I talked to them. I just don't understand why they're not wiping down all the horizontal surfaces and vacuuming the carpets."

The receptionist is reported to have smiled sympathetically and offered an encouraging, "It's just so hard to find good help these days," when the new cleaning boss asked her how the building looked. The Honey Daily News was unable to convince the receptionist to vocalize her true feelings on the subject, but the impression of this intrepid reporter was that she was not impressed with the new management's decision to hire the same people who got the last management fired.

In other news, Honey's cats have both turned green as a result of sitting too close to an open window. Damn pollen. Happy Spring.
