The next decade....what's in store?

Only in Grenada: Part 2

I've just come home to a very clean house, and it could only have happened in Grenada. That's not to say that Jamaicans can't clean....they most certainly can. But the way I got my house cleaned today, could only have happened in the Spice Isle....

A young man's application turned up on my desk. Called him in for an interview to work in the Housekeeping department. During the interview he said how he just loves to clean. 'Bing bing bing' went my brain. All week I was toying with the idea of getting one of the employees to clean for me. I normally do it but I just wanted it done for me for a change.

So I asked the young man what he was doing for the rest of the day. Nothing. Ok, great. I have a house for you to clean. So I borrowed a friend's car, dropped him off and went back to work, leaving him in the house all by himself with my expensive camera and money in full sight.

Checked on him about two hours later and he wasn't done, so I left his money, told him to lock up and left him listening to Tempo while he worked. I'm not the "you are the cleaner, you can't watch my tv or use my bathroom" kind of person. He will call me by my first name and help himself to anything he wishes.

So, as I was telling him in the car when I was taking him to the house, this could only happen in Grenada. Don't know di man from Adam, and next thing he's alone in my house! Lovely Grenada. I'm in love with you. Please don't change!
