worked continental shifts in a steel works before, 12 hour shifts, 3 weekends out of four worked, nights the lot. did it for 14 years and hated it.
window cleaning was the best move i ever made + when you are employed the government take most of your money anyway!
;D

defo the best thing ive ever done!! how else can you make a lot of money, plus meet new people and be in the fresh air. i dunno but done lots of different type sof work in my time but w'cing is the best without a doubt.

Definitely the best job I've ever had and I've had some fairly OK ones.
I can earn decent full time money for part time hours (if I choose to do it that way) and, within reason, I can choose my work hours. The act of cleaning the glass is pretty academic when compared to the relative freedom I have.

It'll do for now.
Best money I've made, but there's better out there.
Maybe another 2 years, maybe another 5 or more...
Depends how long it takes for me to come up with an idea to make me rich.
I'm confident I will one day though. :)

For me it is a case of thank god for WFP, I was at the point of jacking it all in, was so hacked off with Window cleaning.
I love it now, big increase in income and I'm less tired at the end of the day.

Roy

Window Cleaning is far from the best job I've had, but it's good and I wish I did it years earlier.
My BEST job however was when I was in the army, working in Northern Ireland in Carrickfergus. I had a company car, free fuel, and a civilian clothing allowance.
I worked in an Intelligence Cell with five RUC Special Branch nutters, and my main job was collating records of terrorist shootings and bombings.
A week after I started the job we had a PIRA ceasefire. WAHAY!!!! It lasted (on and off; mostly on though) for nearly two years.
My routine was to stick my head into the Lisburn office to show I was alive, mince about abit and apologise to the female soldiers for my behaviour the previous night. Then I'd drive to Carrickfergus RUC station and have a bit of 'crack' there (not drugs). Do a session in the gym at lunchtime (lots of females there) and then drive back to barracks and get ready for the evening out.
I had no real job, nothing to do but socialise round the offices (lots of girls) skive; but still in civilian clothes, a company car and a PPW pistol.
I felt like James Bond!
Honest!
