I attempted to fire our nameless cleaning lady whom I never met for the 2 years she allegedly “worked” for us. She incidentally appears to be a deaf young woman from Latin America and a Muslim with a "I would rather clean than beg” motto based on what Kevin D. tells me. I vaguely remember she is one of his extended family members but lately he denies it. Anyway we had to part way mostly because of LL’s inability to pee in the bowl like everybody else does and his untidiness. Also I suspect that she has some dreadful deal with Olliver-le-Chat as she always sneaks him in my room which is strictly forbidden. Additionally Kevin pretends (out of sheer xenophobia or perhaps because of some family conflict) that she is apathetic and spends most of her working hours watching our gay porn tapes binging on cat food and always blames her for everything that goes wrong in his life. Finally, lately she had stopped to adhere to an agreed cleaning calendar and started showing up on random days at times more convenient to her which quickly interfered with Kevin’s “afternoon appointments”.
I therefore had no other choice than to leave her a very polite voicemail this morning telling her that we "thanked [her] very much for [her] help in the past year but we would not need a cleaning service anymore and if [she] could drop the key please". The message was very much in line with my break-up style: quick, easy and painless. Who says you need to break-up in person with your cleaning lady? As she does not speak any English and me either, it might take a little while to register completely and I only hope she won’t show up next Wednesday anyway as it would most probably be embarrassing for everyone involved (copyright Fagat 2005).
Goodbye cleaning lady, thank you for being a friend, hello Chaos.
Can someone please tell me if we're pulling off the Jack and Bobby Kennedy pose?

You are. And that explains a lot, looking back.

I really loved that pic. It is like "we are so happy, we are so married" kind of thing....
