Although this made her job complete, she was NOT happy at all. Explain. | ||

Actually, I should rephrase that as... Although this made her job complete, she now had to work twice as hard. Explain. | ||

I assume that she is an adult human female, yes? Is this a paid job or a household task of some sort? Or both? Is home decor relevant? Did she use some sort of labour-saving device? Could "complete" be replaced by "easier"? Does she work twice as hard because of some side-effect of "this"? | ||

If her now-complete job is twice as much work as her old one, then can we say that she used to do only half the work one would assume her job implies? | ||

Yes Did she use some sort of labour-saving device? No Could "complete" be replaced by "easier"? NO, good question Does she work twice as hard because of some side-effect of "this"? Yes If her now-complete job is twice as much work as her old one, then can we say that she used to do only half the work one would assume her job implies? No. She would still do the same amount of work as she always did if "this" had not happened. | ||

Was "this" the task? If so, did she do it? Or was "this" a physical item? Was something fixed? Purchased? Destroyed? Redone/updated? | ||

Is identifying the job being performed relevant? Is her profession relevant? Is this a specific woman that we need to identify? Did she have to start doing something differently than before? Did it require that she learn a new skill? | ||

Is this an item that is currently available for purchase in stores? Does “home decor” have to do with the condition of the home, example: neat and tidy? Or the style of decorating, example: post-modern? Is the household task... Dusting? Vacuuming/Sweeping/Mopping floors? Washing laundry? Washing dishes? Washing windows? Making beds? Cooking meals? Taking out the trash? Caring for pets/children/significant other/guests? Wow, this sounds like my to-do list. ;-) | ||

Was the item something used in the task? An item of home decor? Furniture? Is it in her home? Does its existance mean the job must be done more often? More thoroughly? Is the job something done every so often in a normal household? For example, once a week? Once a month? Is it only done once? Or only once in a period of years? | ||

Is this an item that is currently available for purchase in stores? In a different form, yes. Does “home decor” have to do with the condition of the home, example: neat and tidy? No Or the style of decorating, example: post-modern? Not quite this... explore Is the household task... Dusting/Vacuuming/Sweeping These constitute the second job Washing laundry? Washing dishes? Washing windows? Making beds? Cooking meals? Taking out the trash? Caring for pets/children/significant Other The first job has not been mentioned Wow, this sounds like my to-do list. ;-) Lol Was the item something used in the task? An item of home decor? In a different form, yes Furniture? Is it in her home? Yes Does its existance mean the job must be done more often? More thoroughly? No to rest. She has to do the original job plus one more now; thus twice the work. Is the job something done every so often in a normal household? You might do it, yes. For example, once a week? Once a month? Is it only done once? Or only once in a period of years? Probably a couple times during the year | ||

Ah, two jobs! The job that is done only a couple of times per year: is the first yet-to-be named job? Or the 2nd job of sweeping/dusting? Or both? Does "in a different form" mean that she has invented or re-purposed this item? | ||

Home decor = decorating options, like: Curtains vs. blinds? Carpet vs solid surfaces? Installing a ceiling fan? Displaying knickknacks or collectibles? Hanging decorative mirrors? (Trying to think of all of the items collecting dust and dirt in my house!) | ||

Installing a ceiling fan? Displaying knickknacks or collectibles?This is closest... Hanging decorative mirrors? (Trying to think of all of the items collecting dust and dirt in my house!)Haha, same here HINT!!!HINT!!!HINT!!! I think I should clear things up for you (and me) for a moment by showing you the order of jobs. She was on her way to do some decorating(Job#1), when "Item" stopped her from doing what she wanted to do(Job #1). She now had to clean up "Item" (Job #2) so she could do her original job (#1). So the order she did them in was Job#2, then Job#1, because she wasn't expecting Job#2 to be there at all. I hoped that helped, cuz now I'm slightly less confused on how to answer your questions... | ||

Ah, I thought I was missing something in the job ordering. So...does job #2 have to be completed before job #1 can be done? Does a surface have to be cleaned before something can be placed on the surface? If so, a wall? Table? Knick-knack display case? | ||

Ah, I thought I was missing something in the job ordering. So...does job #2 have to be completed before job #1 can be done? ...Here's the "makes her job complete" part. She doesn't HAVE to... but I certainly wouldn't want the "item" hanging around in MY house Does a surface have to be cleaned before something can be placed on the surface?Yes If so, a wall/Table? These two! Good questions! Once you find out what "Item" is, the rest should fall right into place. | ||

Does this have anything to do with a dog or other pet doing something naughty in the house? Leaving a present? | ||

Could "item" be "lack of space"? Lack of space prevented her from doing her job#1 so she first had to clear up space (the activities of which constituted job#2) so by the clearing up first she made her job complete but she still has to go in for job#2 hence it is not any easier for her. Is that right? | ||

Or, did she have to take down real cobwebs before putting up fake ones? YES!!! Good work, Gourami and Rcs for killing it and to everyone who helped solve!! ****************SPOILER********************* A lady wanted to decorate her house for Halloween. She dug in her closet and got her old hanging spiderwebs to put up in her dining room. To her dismay, a spider had decided to take up lodging on the walls and ceiling of the room, so she had to get rid of it and its nest before putting up her own. This was inspired by a nasty little pizture I saw, take a look, if you dare. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n142/turnipgreens/horror.jpg[/IMG] | ||
