- It is important to dress well. Just because it is home, don’t think nightie or pajamas will be okay. Especially avoid your kaleidoscopic top.
2. Secondly you have to comb your hair you know. Like you are going out.
3. I gather it is remote and all that, but still you should smell good. Maybe a French perfume?
4. As for activities, the first thing you have to do is clean the computer screen. Just look at the dust it gathers.
5. The next in line is the key board. Use a good brush.
6. You tell me there is a mouse? Horror of horrors! How did it get in? Throw it out, pronto!
7. Pay attention to the bed in the background. The sheets have to be neatly folded. The pillows are to be in place.
8. Also the wall hanging. Clear the cobweb.
9. Don’t forget to push the sweepings under the carpet. When “they” visit to assess your work, “these people” rarely lift the carpet.
10. Then comes the book shelf. Books must be arranged neatly and in order as per their subject matter. The “funny” books must be hidden.Careful.
11. All the decorative items must be arranged neatly. Showcase the exotic stuff.
12. If the furniture needs moving, get help from the maid. Remember she is working all the time from home. Don’t hesitate to use her long years of experience in this sort of thing. Or get that good-for-nothoing husband of yours to pull some weight! I am sure the “company” won’t mind.
13. Who knows, “they” may land up during lunch time to sample your culinary skills. Have good food ready. Avoid fries and onions. If they offer any cookies, don’t accept them. They are bad for health.
14. Don’t be ordering Alexa around. “They” might get suspicious .
15. Oh, you are only going to interview candidates? I don’t know zoom and all. I only hope they don’t mess up the rest room. The door mat is new.
16. Keep the children and pets out of sight. If you have any cookies, you can give them those (actually a small quantity won’t do harm). Then seal their lips. No unwanted noise please.
17. Oh my God! I nearly forgot. The flowers, the flowers.
18. Mind you. Make sure your father is nowhere to be seen!
I do hope you come out tops in the ratings when your performance is evaluated.
But I can’t see you doing this every day. You will get tired.
Go to the office please!
