We are booked solid until Dec 22nd...with some odd appointments open here and there. I was wondering if anyone was opening Sunday...I was thinking about opening this Sunday and next Sunday to appoinments. we are already cleaning late calls from 5-7...and Area Rug pick up and drop off's after that between 7-9. I hate to work Sundays...but we all know this is it..soon to have days and days off   ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

Doug..................do the birds stop making noise at 5 am on a Sunday , would hydro not fix downed lines on a Sunday, do you not trim the hedges or cut the grass on a Sunday.............how about all those cars kept running for an hour on a cold Sunday winters day spewing out tons of toxic fumes after devouring Grand-ma's Sunday dinner..............DOES THAT COUNT

Alright Doug, let's say the homeowner has a washing machine flood, let's also assume that a pipe broke, how about a case of beer exploded on the carpet....oh.........I know one.........................how about her carpet is just really dirty and she wants it cleaned and the only day off he/she had was a Sunday because they're too busy saving lives at the hospital all week on their regular 80/ hour week shift..................NOW..........DOES THAT COUNT

I would say no. unless the carpet cleaner is completely cluless. I fell for that bs many years ago living in cottage country. when I said no they said i will leave the key under the mat or with my neighbour and anytime next week is fine. But i guess if they don't trust your company and have to keep an eye on you well it must be your reputation. ------------- Just My opinion |

Doug...........I'm not saying I want to or don't want to, if you live in an area where everybody enjoys their Sundays as a day of peace and quiet family time........then.........by all means ..............keep the peace with the neighbours and God and never work on Sundays.

I am having a really sh*tty time here and would be glad to work Sundays if I was given the opporunity.
The holiday season rush here is totally non-existant for me. Last year I thought it was the weather.... bummer. Good for you Steamer and Doug - that's a nice way to live out there and if I would be upsetting the community I wouldn't either. |

| Busy season, but I'm limiting it to 6 day weeks. January will be slow, though not as slow as in snowy areas--one of the benefits of San Diego--anyway, $2000.00 in appointments already set for January. It's February and March that are really slow here. |
