That sounds like a disaster. All it will take is finding a single cool looking doodad and the entire cleaning crew will be occupied for hours
Makes me wonder what this doodad might be. Guess I should start googling cool doodads instead of finishing my status report…
every room has only a finite number of cool doodads at any given time. the room will be cleaned eventually, it just might take a little longer. not to mention that the extra time will be spent discussing cool doodads and will thus be time well spent.
That’s assuming you can only spend a finite amount of time on each cool doodad and can’t switch between them.
you bring up a good point that my original comment blindly assumed the cleaner would be a mortal. if they are immortal and thus able to spend an infinite amount of time on each doodad, then we might be in some real trouble here. depending on how interesting the doodads are, there’s a chance the room will be occupied forever. the only solution i can think of would be to lure the cleaner out with increasingly cooler doodads, but this may be easier said than done.
I get focused on small things, which makes me an inefficient cleaner. Sure that drawer is going to be the most organized it has ever been, but there are bigger fish to fry.
I just need someone following me around to ask questions like “Are you sure deep cleaning the microwave is the most effective use of your time right now?”
Then you return home to find all your stuff was put away in wrong places and have a complete meltdown because you can’t find anything when you need it.
then it’ll become what I’m supposed to do and I won’t want to do it
I don’t want to clean my own house. Why would I want to clean anybody else’s house?
Because maybe the pressure you apply to doing something for someone else exceeds what you do for yourself.
(Or I could just be speaking for myself here)
No no, I get you. I can happily spend 6 hours at work reorganizing and cleaning my workroom and storage but once I get home, managing the dishwasher is a Herculean effort.
Or maybe the pressure of someone else potentially cleaning my place will actually get me to do it.
Not that I have weird stuff I don’t want people to know about. Not that I would say I do either. Or comment that I don’t have weird stuff because pointing it out would kind of say I have weird stuff. I don’t have weird stuff.
