Title: My worst day as a window cleaner (today)
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on September 16, 2009, 07:57:55 pm
Had the worst day today...

Couple of customers said they had spotty windows

Was 40 mins late for an appointment

My backpack ran out of charge half way through the day, so have to add 5 jobs on to tomorrow's already busy day

I reversed my van and dented the bumper..... Into my mother in laws mercedes SLK cos I was rushing. She saw it happen and the van lifted her merc off the ground. Gotta fork out some £££ for the repair bill now.

Anyone had a worse day than me today ?

Ouch that would hurt.
Thats why I decided on telescopic & not modular as I know I would always loose parts of it. I'm always in a rush and wouldnt put it back properly & I know I would tread on it and break it

I left the top 4 sections on a wall the other night, I didn't realise till I got home 30miles away.
I jumped in the car and broke all the speed limits going back. lucky it was still there.

I had the camera down back in 1992, for what turned out to be a burst duodenal ulcer.

If its any comfort mate, they'll tell you to try and swallow it as if it were food. But its like tryin' to swallow the tube you get with bicycle pumps (You can't).

Oh sorry that wasnt much comfort now was it :o
