I still haven't given up, but I am beginning to suspect that it isn't wise to work that kind of job in the heat. Something indoors might be better.

Quite often in the uk I see the government lamenting the lack of teachers when through the institution of the national curriculum, testing and constant monitoring of teaching, they have consistently made the job more stressful. Point I’m making here is people do jobs that are either pleasant, interesting, incentivised in some way or well paid (all four is the mother lode). To recruit people don’t make a job progressively harder to do, or you get caught in a downward spiral where fewer and fewer people want the job and those who do it, do more and more.

I definitely think that this cleaning job is quite a nice thing to do when it's cool but once it gets hotter it won't be worth the money.

Twitter is unbelievable these days. It also feels like Musk grew tired of it and left it to the bots.

Right? The number of engagement-farming replies is amazing. It's so spammy these days.
