Clean Up

I work in an office that pays a cleaning service a lot of money to clean our office each night. For some unknown reason, no one can do it properly. Each time we are dissatisfied, we interview another company. The routine is always the same. The owner arrives, all dressed up in a suit and tie, carrying a clipboard. He surveys the area and says "we can do better". We point out all of the trouble spots and are told that his company will make the office spotless. With trust and good faith, we hire the new service. Just like a boy courting a girl, the first few weeks are great. Sinks are sparkling and floors are swept. Then as we fall into our comfort zone, the rug is pulled out from us, yet another time. The cobwebs appear and you can carve your initials into the soap scum on the sink. The complaining phone calls begin. Apologies and new promises are given. Once more, we must "break up" with our cleaning service. The next week, a new man arrives, in a suit and tie.
