So last Wednesday our cleaning person no-showed. attempts to call her went straight to machine. We called two friends of hers - they all live in an apartment near the shuk for Sri Lankans trying to eke by some basic financial support for their families back home. Everyone's phone went straight to machine. Our only possible conclusion is that they were all deported by our government because their work visas were no longer valid.
We've spent the last week trying to find new cleaning people but to no avail. No one has time. There is a massive shortage of people willing to clean houses in this country (I imagine it's similar to the morons on the right in the u.s. that want all the illegals deported there as if any native American is willing to bus table or pick fruits and vegetables). And the government has taken it upon itself to deport a labor force that provides a valuable service, improves the country's GDP by freeing up individuals to focus on work as opposed to the menial task of cleaning their house. It brings to mind the old phrase: That government which governs best governs least. Bitching won't get our house clean. So please if you know one, send them our way. We're getting desperate here!
