Such an interesting story. And an interesting job. I knew someone who was going to school to be an organizer and she told me how you could be a vertical or horizontal organizer, interesting stuff.

I'm glad you found it interesting. I worried it might be too long, but couldn't find a paragraph I was willing to eliminate. I love going to work - every day is a new challenge.

Thanks so much, createdestiny. Buddy really was butt-ugly.

Wow I can't believe that you've been in a real life "hoaders" scenario. That house must have been really disgusting... especially with all the dog shit laying around. It's really sad that nothing could really get through to her.

We had some interesting conversations, because she really was, hoarding aside, a very intelligent and interesting woman.

We don't see many hoarders - most clients are just regular folks who need some guidance and some hands-on help getting started.

Beautifully told story - Did you have to get all your shots up-to-date before starting this work?

Thanks so much, sahlah. I hope it's told well enough to get me through another round of the writing competition!

I think my shots are current! And we learned the hard way to always carry disposable gloves in our work cart.
