So we had this new cleaner come round yesterday for an 'interview'

Nice girl, reasonably bright, not too common, wants to be a photographer ( :shrug: ) and probably quite reasonable-looking, but she's absolutely covered in bloody tattoos and has studs through her nose.

What on earth possesses these people? She could probably get a proper job if she looked normal, but her silly choices have basically limited her to casual menial labour or freelancing. It actually made me quite sad. I also feel a bit shīt that we're paying the agency £11.50 an hour (less than we were paying our previous cleaner), of which she's getting just £7.50. :-\ Now I'm no socialist, but that feels wrong to me.

The awkward moment will come when she asks if she can photograph you Berni.

You could leave her a fiver a week as a tip. More if she wears a french maid outfit.

Do you think that would go with the tattoos and piercings?

THREAD HIJACK ALERT.
I will purchase a new amp at some point.
Fender Blues Junior or Vox AC15?

I'm thinking we should offer her extra work cash in hand. Like cleaning the oven, maybe?

I have worked as a photographic model, I'll have you know. OK, I was about 7 and my dad was running the ad agency and only had to pay me in ice cream, but still.

Oh I wasn't suggesting you wouldn't make an excellent subject but it could lead to a terrible timing situation.

For example I am not really a dog person and there was a short time where this neighbour would take her dog out whilst all Lycra'd up and she'd always be walking past and say hello as I arrived home. So the one day I decide to give the dog a stroke my wife comes round the corner. :hehe: Bad timing.

I'm no amp expert, f. Ash is your man for such a decision.

Cleaning the oven is a euphemism, right?
