Testimonials
Judy was
unfailingly helpful, organized and patient! She helped a great deal on
decision making, when I was trying to figure out what was keep or
pitch, and where to store things based on amount and type of use. She
set up, and sifted months of filing with me. We also reorganized all
my kitchen cabinets and pantry and set up a useful organized mudroom."
Claudia S. a Stay at home mom in Ann Arbor, MI
"I feel ready to be independent. Valerie was
such a good organizing coach that I can now problem solve most of my
home and classroom clutter issues. I have learned and changed. Nothing
frightens Valerie as she is an amazing, upbeat professional She
was most helpful in creating a system that was specific to my needs
and my family's issues. I admit that after just 10 visits - most of my
house is clutter free. I continue to work on the small portions that
are left. I am in control! Valerie was the best at being able to
reflect my issues and help me break them down into manageable chunks."

Honoring Our Mothers
MOM
- Job Description
This is hysterical. If it had
been presented this way, none of us would have done it!!!!
POSITION: Mother, Mom, Mama,
Mommy, Ma
JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term, team
players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic
environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and
organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which
will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on
call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive
camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far
away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties
also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES: The rest of
your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until
someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also,
must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go
from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the
screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be
willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget
repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen
phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple
homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social
gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be
willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million
cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope
for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final,
complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work
throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT &
PROMOTION: Virtually none Your job is to remain in the same position
for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating
your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None
required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually
exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get
this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon
payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that
college will help them become financially independent. When you die,
you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this
reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could
only do more.
BENEFITS: While no health or
dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid
holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless
opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play
your cards right.

organizing project today, we can help! Call or click 602-organize.com (602-674-2649)

Joke of the month
Eager To Impress The Boss
A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he found
the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his
hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document
here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing
work?"
"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on,
inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the
machine.
"I just need one copy."
