Title: Favourite Job?
Post by: S_RICHARDSON on December 30, 2006, 07:48:35 pm
I take it you all have a favourite job (that is a WINDOW CLEANING JOB) you all enjoy cleaning each month.  Which one is it and why?
Is it because it's a good payer,  or you always get a tip, always get a brew, or even it's such an easy to do job for the price it is?

Come tell us!!!! 
BTW what price is it?

Chris,

If you really do do Kylie's UK house, I'd have no problems undercutting you what-so-ever.

What area do you work?

Thanks, Chris, you jammy git!

My favourate jobs are mostly money related.  I've a small handfull of small to medium sized jobs that pay one-pound-per-minute and are generally easy jobs with a WFP. 

Other than that, I have a belly dancing customer whose 'flirty' with me and she's shown me some amazing things she can do with her legs, such as the splits and she can also stand on one leg and get her other leg straight up by her head - wow. 

She's a bit of a character; but for some reason she's never that zany when Wor Lass is working with me!

I've one other, he's an ex-army officer from WWII and was a prisoner of war for three years, held by the Japanese (I'm half Japanese) and we have what the Irish would call a good 'craic' and we say 'good morning' and stuff in Japanese.

He shouts other stuff at me, but I don't understand it all; stuff like 'Press up position... Go', but in Japanese.

I like my characters.

I also do a small hotel - a really old one - that has a few ghosts, according to the staff who work there.  I'm really quick when doing the insides of certain rooms.  It is a creepy place, but I like it.

My former favourite job paid reasonably but they moved away.  I enjoyed it because they were such lovely people. This was pre-WFP.
My other favourites are for shallower reasons I'm afraid - like money.  I actually have a very few jobs where i can exceed a pound a minute and some where I come close to it.  All I need now is to get the other 95% like that LOL.

favourite job has to be a small cul-de-sac, I've 7 houses on it, £6 a house.  Takes around 20mins, brilliant, plus every one of them gives me a tip very regularly.
