dis shoes

one of my favorite summer jobs was during college. my friends and i would come back home. and work on the army base cleaning houses. it was glorious. we did complain a lot during the time. but now i look back and realize. what a wonderful job we had. we would roll out of bed. brother and i would carpool and pick up friends along the way. get a house assignment. take a nap. clean for about 1 hour. lunch time. then another nap. clean another house for an hour. be done by 4:30. then we would all usually meet up in the evenings for some bbqs. and beverages.

it was also during this time. i learned one of the most valuable lessons. you can clean anything. all you need is a razor blade. and a little all purpose cleaner. we cleaned empty houses. usually after painters. and maintenance. had been thru. but there were many stoves. refrigerators. sinks. etc. that required the razor blade touch. i was reminded of this recently when cleaning the 'jelly' (term used for all un-identified substances in small amounts.) from under my sink knobs. now. they look brand new. so thank you dis. for paying me a ton of money. to do minimal work. and to also passing along the best cleaning trick. ever.

also spotted. a girl in the accounting dept. has a vespa. that she rides to work. i am so jealous. makes my schwinn look like a p.o.s. day two of riding wasnt as bad. although. if i keep this up. i need to invest in a desk fan. or so a fellow bike rider told me. he actually goes 5 miles. yikes.
