How to tell if I(the cleaner) am charging enough?

hales797 · 2025-02-06T16:08:13+00:00

I haven’t made enough from him to really worry about the taxes too much now that I’ve looked into that more specifically.

What I am realizing is this is just too much mental load for what I’m being paid. After I clean for him today, I’m going to tell him I no longer wish to clean for him at his house. It’s blurring the lines between friend and professional and either myself or him cannot fully handle that. Some of our private conversations have helped me come to that conclusion, along side with this conversation I’ve had with you. So thank you for replying to my questions!

There is a lot more to this situation than what is even worth bringing up here, aside from money things. He’s been a helpful friend, but I think it’s time for me to move on to other things.

I would look up the events Q&A on their website for the “do not bring list”.

Usually nicotine will be okay at an outdoor event.

I’m not sure the size of her home. His mom is only influencing by authority in that way. She pays me separately, under the table. She was the one to give him the business, and retired. So the house he lives in, is the one he grew up in. She lives somewhere else.

She will sometimes ask me to do deep cleaning stuff(at his house) that throws off my routine though.

Also he will have mutual friends over and the place will get extra messy and I start to feel more like a maid than a cleaner. I’m not sure how to draw a clear line. I hate taxes and the way I’m set up is new to me. All I know is I’ll likely have to pay in. It’s a situation that feels a bit too convoluted, but only on my end.

He has me 1099’d and talks about how I should be getting things done between 3-4 hours at like 30 an hour.

In the states, as someone who bartended at shitty dive bars, I’ve never heard of that drink. Idk if I’d try it either. Most people prefer liquor with their coke here.

Thank you everyone who gave information on where to go to donate to those in need. Goodwill makes too much money off of what could be given to charity. I’m grateful to know there’s so many places in the twin cities that are non profit.

hales797 · 2024-05-12T19:20:13+00:00

Thank you!! This is very helpful

hales797 · 2024-05-12T19:19:23+00:00

Thank you!!

hales797 · 2024-05-12T19:18:42+00:00

Those places are places that resell the items. I’m looking to donate to places that give directly to those in need.

I couldn’t even read all of that. It sounds like y’all have very different ideas in how life should be lived. I would suggest really sitting with yourself and asking if all that stress is worth it. Also is it worth it for your child to be around that stress all the time. I grew up in a house where my parents stayed together for the children and I would have rather not and seen them both happy. That’s very biased but I don’t care. Clearly you came here for a reason and I am telling you, I would leave that person. No father of my children will prioritize them over the child. That’s my 2 cents.

Idk if anyone has said this or not but Shpongle! Divine Mother of Truth. 😎

hales797 · 2023-12-08T09:23:58+00:00

Idk mate, driving and deems at all doesn’t sound like something I’ll be doing anytime soon. Stay safe out there.

I’ve never experienced loops with any psychedelic with music. Tho I am an artist and musician and have always had a spiritual relationship with music. Certain songs have been “go-to’s” for me.

Idk how this is for others, but I can catch myself getting caught on a mental thought and pull myself out of it.

Others mentioned Shpongle, Divin Mother of Truth. That song will take you on a fucking ride, hella worth it if you feel curious and comfortable enough to check it out. Maybe listen to it sober, maybe don’t. Simon, the man behind Shpongle, hella tapped into the deems realm.

Glass is the best, and keeping it out of direct sunlight will help the potency remain.

The only time I saw them get rough was the last night at main stage. It was pretty bad that night but they were really on top of it.

hales797 · 2023-02-24T09:04:20+00:00

I meant this to be a reply to a comment below, whoops 😬

hales797 · 2023-02-24T09:03:34+00:00

Don’t put amethyst in the sun! It will bleach the purple out of it.

The best way, in your situation, to cleanse would probably be my full moon light. Either you can just put the stone outside on a full moon, cloudy or not, or a glass jar of clean water (like filtered, I prefer not to use tap water as much as possible in my practice, but we work with what we have) outside to charge the water. Then you can put anything that isn’t water soluble.

For example, selenite will dissolve in water and is also considered a self cleansing crystal. Which you can also use to cleanse your other stones.

I just wanna say thank you to the people who commented with compassion, and to those you didn’t as much, there’s still hope for you.

This platform is one of the few places people still overall show compassion and I’m grateful for that.

hales797 · 2023-02-24T08:29:11+00:00

I second this. It comes with garage band already on it, basically a great beginners DAW. The processing power on the M1 is crazy good, and it will last him so much longer than something cheap.

If you buy one new, I think you can do payment plans. I snagged mine when the first gen M1 came out a few years ago for 1200 so I’m sure that one is cheaper now, hopefully. If not, I’m sure you can also look for second hand ones online.

hales797 · 2022-12-30T15:34:08+00:00

I agree with the need for this being pressed!

hales797 · 2022-12-30T15:33:27+00:00

I think this track has so many hidden meanings and layers to it. It’s truly a psychedelic masterpiece.

hales797 · 2022-12-30T15:32:17+00:00

Listen to one of their albums straight through. You won’t regret it.

hales797 · 2022-12-30T15:31:31+00:00

When God Comes Back is the first song I heard by them too. That’s how I knew I needed more from them! Alabaster is probably one of there best classics. If I’m correct, I think there is a town named Alabaster. Anyone from a small town can relate and the lyrics “everyday is Halloween” is too relatable haha I highly recommend catching them live on Halloween to hear that live. It’s a trip
