I'm still digesting and processing what happened with the organizer I hired. It was incredibly traumatic. The weird thing was, it wasn't until much later. During the process, I knew she was going way too fast, but I accepted it because obviously my slower way of doing it wasn't working, so I thought I'd try her way. YIKES.
But the worst part was that she lied.
A few hours after she left, I realized we donated DVDs and didn't check the cases.
1/3
I went through the DVD cases I still had and found that I was missing three discs. I panicked. The next day, I woke up very early and went to the food bank thrift shop, which is where she said she had donated things (and had given me the receipt for).
They said she was a total asshole and they only took a few things from her, which they showed me. I texted her asking WTF and she comes back with this whole bag of bullshit. Eventually she tells me she took things to the Salvation Army.
2/3
I had told her VERY CLEARLY that we do not donate to the Salvation Army. But ok... I went over there. When I walked in, they were sorting through my things. I saw something that shouldn't have been donated, but I let it go.
DVDs reacquired, and I found 1 of the discs. Fine.
But now every time I can't find something, I panic, thinking she donated it in her rush.
She lied to my face, and didn't give me the donation receipts so she wouldn't have to tell me what happened.
I'm furious.
3/3
My husband and I both think she has an ego need to be seen as the person who just gets shit done, and so when she ran into a road block (food bank wouldn't take all the stuff, no matter how much she bitched at them), she didn't ask me about it. If she had, I'd have told her to just bring stuff back and I'd donate it to the animal shelter thrift shop.
She made up a story about how there was a long line to donate and that's why it took her ages. In reality, she was going all over the place.
