Thanks for the quick response. I do want you to make sure that Jerome is working for us after his
normal working hours then. I give him an additional sum of money specifically to work for us
which includes going to JE's mothers hse every Saturday. I would like you to talk to John about
this after we have left. If Jerome is not giving us extra hours I need to review what we do w/him
or talk to him and give him an opportunity to do the extra time - probably you should take to him
first.
Thanks
PS
The universal remote control for the big TV next to my desk has no batteries and the other
romotes do not appear to be working. Worse the TV still is not mended, everything appears in
double. I thought that this had been mended? and if not why not and when???

I'm ALSO at a loss !!!
John and I specifically talked last week about how important these details
are. About two weeks ago I faxed your check off lists to John in preparation
for the manual. These are the lists you made and I'd say they are at least
3/4 complete. (This is the third time I've reviewed these lists with him
since I've started.) He stated the lists are complete although I definitely
want to add to them and edit them as your needs change.
He also assured me that he checks the lists prior to each visit. He showed
me a white notebook (maybe 6 weeks ago?) on the shelves in the kitchen where
he keeps the lists that he checks off, signs and dates before each visit.
FIVE of the six items you mentioned are on the list! I'm not sure about #5
(are you referring the changing the ink cartridge?) John CLEARLY
understands he is to check Mr. Es computer prior to each arrival. I'm
quite sure of this because we've discussed it several times and as recently
as my visit last week.
As for as your second email, the Band-Aids are on the list titled "Supplies
EFTA_R1_01282772

needed in the house at all times" which is part of his check off list.
Our Household Manual draft does indicate where to purchase "cleaning
supplies" (Publix and Sam's Club-PB Gardens) and states "use only Tide with
bleach, downy softener(switch fragrance every 2-3 month), bounce dryer
sheets" We did edit and review this information last week however we have
not completed an inventory list/check off list of supplies yet.
I believe we have a GOOD start on the manual but it's certainly not up to
our standards and needs further work and detail. I'd really like to add
more detail prior to making a change in Management. If we had uninterrupted
time, I really think John and I could have a respectable draft in one to two
days but getting uninterrupted time is nearly impossible!
John told me last week that he feels he is doing a much better job and is
focusing on details. I don't plan to speak to him until after you leave but
I'm sure he'll say he is distracted with the loss of his father in law.
Obviously we don't want an attitude while you're in residence!!
I'd like to discuss this with you and hear how the interviews go. Remember,
we also have 6-8 resumes from the NY area which I'll follow up on.
Jerome does power wash the pool deck. One thing I did notice... Jerome was
working on the staff house. John said Alan has a contract with Frank Steele
and Jerome was not on our time. I asked John to make sure we're getting our
hours...
Please call anytime if you want me to take any immediate action or it you'd
like to discuss this...
al rds,

I need to know what if any list John is using and he needs to understand
that he is doing a truly awful job.
1. There was no drinking water in the black Mere
2. There were no pens in the black Mere
3. The bulb on JE desk ws burnt out when we arrived
4. The pool deck was so filthy JE had to ask him to pressure wash it. Is
this not the gardeners job and if so why does John not have it done
5. Even thought John sd that he changed the colour card in the computer -
having done it could he not see that it was exactly the same as before ie
no different and that obviously JE would not be happy w/it?
6.The massage creams etc in JE's bathroom were a mess no one had tidied up
and arranged them so it was neat
I am at a loss. Plse for a long as we have to work w/him there has to be a
list - you need to figure out how to make sure he is doing it.
How arc we doing w/the PB manual - where do we stand w/it?
