houses for people on vacation. This one guy whose house I\u2019ve been watching is the biggest jerk I\u2019ve ever worked for, the reach of his rapacious and mean-spirited nature stretching all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Our agreement is for me to drop by his place on Wednesdays and Sundays while he travels Europe for six weeks, and he\u2019s provided me with a highly specific to-do list that shows he wants to leave as few decisions as possible to my discretion. It includes the exact number of windows I should check, all the places I should search on all fours for leaks, the number of times I should flush his toilets, which day of the week I should start his Audi, and how many minutes I should let water run from his faucets and his shower and tub. He has friends who\u2019ve hired me so he must know what my rate is, but he\u2019s one of those guys who likes to grind you down to get the best deal, to exploit any angle against you.<\/p>\n
