Sounds like the lady wanted a maid but found a sneaky way to hire one. Lame.

I had a job as a receptionist where I was required to swab ballrooms (it was a dance company) and clean toilets. Sure it sucked, but when you work for a small business or an individual, you end up doing what needs to get done. As long as she paid you for it, I don't see what's so bad about cleaning fans. It's not an excuse to just not show and not return her calls. Boring. I had a job as a receptionist where I was required to swab ballrooms (it was a dance company) and clean toilets.

How would she know if you two were competent to look after children? Just because you're (I'm assuming) a female doesn't mean you aren't a perv. I hate it when I work somewhere & am given a bunch of tasks that aren't in the job description. One time I worked at a movie theater/restaurant (I should have learned my lesson with the other movie theater I worked at) when it was first opening. Instead of hiring professionals to clean, the owner had us come in on a Saturday before we opened under the guise of a meeting & made us wash the walls & assemble racks & vacuum. I'm debating whether or not to submit that entire story. Seriously. How would she know if you two were competent to look after children?

This was not in the job description and i wasn't exactly dressed for it.... She fired me after 3 weeks because i sucked at bookkeeping. stupid bitch.

He paid us in cash, but rounded off so he could pay us in $100 and $50 bills. It was bizarre.
