Title: Is it wrong that i prefer working in the cold months??
Post by: H20cleaning on November 23, 2013, 12:22:48 pm
On a fresh morning slightly Frosty i seem to be more alert, up ready and out!
I always finish early and seem to enjoy putting on more layers.
However obviously i dont like the rain and snow! Or cold hands.
Is this normal from a cold water system  :o

Yes, it is wrong. No, you are not normal.

when i was 21 the cold didnt bother me.still doesnt that much to be honest but you feel it a bit more when your 42.

its the faffing about with heaters and making sure pumps etc dont freeze i find more of a pain than actually working in it!! ;D ;D

give me a nice sunny day in the middle of spring/summer without a cloud in the sky any day over working in winter though!! ;D ;D

I loathe working on hot, sunny days. The constant staring up into direct or reflected sunlight is turning my once almond like complexion into something closer to a raisins resemblance. I know that this makes me sound like a bit of a fruit and nutcase.

I thought it was just me ... dont get me wrong prefer hot days when off work but prefer working in this weather or ideal day is 10 to 14 degrees ........................... good thing about cold weather is the customers dont come out for a chat and slow you down  ;D

Feel the same I would rather work on cooler days seem to get a lot more done.
It just proves that you do need to be slightly nutty to clean windows for a living.

I hate working in the summer months! Nothing worse than doing inside offices on a hot day, or workin on a conservatory roof with the sun on you all day! However i do love all the new customers summer brings!
Having said that i have had a surge of newbys recently

Haha good topic! Was just thinking this today.

I like the colder months as it's darker earlier. So it means I get an evening to myself. I can't stop myself from working on projects etc when the sun is out at 8pm.

I am faster in colder weather as well.

Usually manage to hit target a good hour earlier :)

Love it. 3pm is best when the light starts to go and you start thinking of home. I'd much rather work on a cold day than hot. Also can't beat a brew on a cold one.

I take my pole and hose in the front seats and put the heaters on the floor soon warms up! And makes life alot easier for a few hours

winter working is a good -    an honest-to-goodness challenge which is what this job is about  to me
