how annoying is that comment on absolute radio...its a quote from the new ricky gervais film cemetry junction and i'm sure it will be haunting us all at some stage!!

just as i thought we had dragged this industry away from "when i'm cleaning windows!!"

here we go again!

It's not really a proper job anyway, I've had those and they suck major ass.

The first year and it would have bugged me. These days I love it, the stigma has completely gone, makes me laugh (all the way to the bank)  ;D

My mates STILL take the mick and talk amongst each other laughing. I dont mind but it does slightly tick me off to be honest.

Oh well, i enjoy my job and earn more than they do and usually finish around 3 lol!

I genuinely had this conversation with a woman at some offices I do.

She said 'Cor you get all the best jobs'

I said 'Well course I couldn't do your job'

She said 'No'

I said 'No I couldn't take the cut in pay for one thing'

Sweet moment that one, shut her right up

Can't beat a bit of beggin 8)
I beg in my Audi Q7 on a daily basis.
It makes me smile when the potential customer sees it and realises that they are probably much poorer than me!

I was talking to a friend of my brother-in-law last week, he asked me what I did for work and I told him I used to work in IT and now I'm a window cleaner, he laughed and said:

"Thats a bit drastic, going from IT to at the most £10 per hour window cleaning!"

I just smiled  ;)
