The Tasks<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Please find a local mover who is able to affordably move just one couch and one chair from our home in SE Portland to our business studio in SE Portland (this is a distance of 5 miles). We are hoping to spend $60 or less. Craigslist (http:\/\/craigslist.org<\/a>) may be a good resource for this. We would like the mover to do this work Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of this week if possible. If you find a mover that fits this criteria, please set-up the appointment and let me know when I need to meet them at the house (morning from 8am to 10am would be best).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It appears that my assistant went to Craigslist and put 6 movers into a spreadsheet (many of them not meeting my basic criteria) and sent them to me with the following note:<\/p>\n

    Hope you are going well today.\u00a0 I have found some of the movers from craigslist.\u00a0 I was not able to contact them because our phone lines here are down.\u00a0 I have attached all the findings on the spreadsheet please have a look at it and advice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    I wrote back and advised that, when the phone lines were up, my assistant should finish the assigned task. I also asked how often the phone lines went down there since this occurring often would put a major kink in my desire to have him call and transcribe my voicemail each day. No response to that inquiry. When I asked again about the phone lines, my assistant noted that this doesn\u2019t happen often and the lines would be up in a matter of days. This was Monday. As of today, the task still hasn\u2019t been finished.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Using Quickbooks Online, please run a profit and loss report for August, 2008 and the year 2008 to date. Also, I would like to see a list of customers who have overdue invoices or time that has not been billed yet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Even after sending my assistant log-ins on two separate occasions, we had quite a bit of back and forth to get him to be able to log-in to our system. He did ultimately send the reports, but the time wasted in getting these from him was much more than running the reports myself. I don\u2019t believe this would have happened with the Sunday service since they have a handy online account administration area where one is able to enter contacts, passwords, frequent flyer account information and a host of helpful information.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Please find a good cleaner, in Southeast Portland if possible, who uses natural and planet-friendly materials. Ideal candidate would be able to clean both work studio (monthly) and home (weekly or bi-weekly).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This was the one task that my Sunday assistant<\/a> got right, so I wanted to see how it went with GetFriday (even though I am happy with the service Sunday found for us). As phone lines are down, my assistant sent me a spreadsheet of cleaners, many of which I know will not clean both my home and office because they had already told Sunday so. I am guessing the phone lines cleared up some time last night because I started getting calls from cleaners around dinner time. It appears that my assistant called each of them and gave them my name and number to call me.<\/p>\n

        The Skinny<\/h3>\n

        Most of my time spent with GetFriday has been an absolute waste. I am in the extremely<\/em> frustrating process of attempting to cancel my account with them as I am still in my 7-day trial period. Overall, GetFriday makes Sunday look like a godsend.<\/p>\n
