Wacky

The weather today is amazing. Just thought I'd start with that. It's actually been ridiculously warm lately, for Wisconsin, at least. Highs in the upper sixties, and nice and sunny. Not a cloud in the sky. Gorgeous. Not that we had a real winter to recover from anyway, but still lovely to be outside in this type of weather. Especially when you're not expecting it for another month or two.
The negative side to this amazing weather, however, is that it makes housekeeping somewhat dreadful. Here I am, making beds, dusting dressers, scrubbing toilets...and all the while, the sunlight is beckoning me to come outside. So, I approach the window, open it, and hope that this will help me prevail. But, sure enough, in the park below the window, people are running, families are walking their dogs, children are laughing, teenagers are throwing frisbees, etc. Yes, yes, I am jealous.
Of course, despite the problems with my job, I do count my blessings. Many people don't have windows in their place of work, yet here I am with some fresh air and a view. In a way, I am lucky.
But then, as I continue cleaning, a couple walks by and pops in to say something to me:
"Oh, can you please clean our room next? We're heading out to go boating in this beautiful weather and not sure when we'll return."
Me: "Sure. No problem." What I'm really thinking is, Seriously? Just throw it in my face, why don't ya.
And also, Why do you want me to clean your room next if you're going out boating? It takes me like ten minutes to clean a stay-over room, and you are not seriously going to be back in ten minutes; that's ridiculous; I'll clean it when I get to it. For Pete's sake.
