I tried this and was really impressed. Removed the hassles of 1) finding a cleaner; 2) arranging a huge time window to be home (they text you when they are on their way); 3) guessing what cleaning products I need to provide; 4) guessing wh

Thanks for the love =). I agree about funding being an ulterior motive for a hiring committee to look at publication history. In my defense, I brought it about 2/3 of the way through with: "We need trusted ways to quantify just how useful
