My job

As some of you might know I got a job and I love it.
I've been working for a cleaning company called "Klien" (For the English blokes pronounced as "Clean")for at least 1 1/2 year now. The name comes from the English word "Clean" but written like we pronounce it in dutch. We clean apartments and back in the old days we also did offices. We work with students and teens ranging from 16 to 30. (Few exceptions made)

I started there at a very young age, normally they wouldn't have accepted me, but they were short on employees. Besides my brother asked if I wanted to come work there, at that time he was in charge of a couple of "Projects" as we call them in a certain area.

So I said yes almost straight away, how can you reject a job that pays €4.43 per hour at the age of 14? You can't, it pays heck of a lot more than working at a local supermarket.

At first it started of very rough, I expected my project to be in my brothers area, but it wasn't. I got into the messiest area of them all. The one who was in charge of it got fired not long after. I also had a hard time keeping up with the speed, normally you get paid 3 hours and that is the time you should be able to clean the project. It took me 1 1/2 hour to clean the first stairwell. I had to do 4 off them.

Soon I got the hang of it and I reached the 3 hour mark. I still wasn't satisfied because it was a very boring project to clean, 4 identical stairwells. I asked for a transfer and I got through. I'm still working at my "new" project and I love it. I loved my job so much that I started working more and more. And soon I earned over 100 euros each month.

Things have changed during this time, an Inspector decided he would stop and my brother replaced his spot. My other brother I didn't mention before used to be a regular employee but ranked up and replaced my brothers spot as an "Project leader".

Basically my 2 brothers are in charge off me, and it's going really smooth.

If you are dutch and live around Breda, I strongly suggest looking at our website. It pays a heck of a lot more than working at your supermarket thats just around the corner. It's a really fun job, you interact with the "Clients" and during Christmas and new year they give you tips.
Today I got invited to drink a cup of coffee which I rejected just to stay polite, even though I could have used one, It was cold and I was only wearing my Fleece-Sweater and Polo.
