Where Does The Time Go?
« on: Yesterday at 04:31:54 pm »
I'm sat here inputting the work I've done today. On the screen it tells me when I first started cleaning the windows at each job. I've been gobsmacked by the amount of years I've been cleaning some of them. I genuinely thought I'd been cleaning some of them for 5 years or so, but they're like 10 years plus.

It's scary. Where has the time gone?
We look at them, they look through them.

The customer I have cleaned for the longest time is a commercial one.

I've cleaned it monthly since 1999.
It's a game of three halves!

It's even stranger when you suddenly realise those customers who had babies when you started cleaning are now adults.

I started in 1988, I still have a few original customers (from the first year or so of trading), although I still clean quite a few of the original houses, just for new people.

When I started aged 23, all my customers were older than me. Now at 61, I am older than a lot of my customers.

I’ve still got some of my original customers. 34 years this year!
