HAPPY THOUGHTS FOR WINDOW CLEANERS
« on: October 09, 2007, 11:42:22 pm »
after reading post after post about back biting, sniping at each other ect I am starting to turn to negative thoughts about window cleaning (which is very unlike me), Maybe some of you can post some nice things about window cleaning and nice experiences  on this post making others feel good is a great feeling :-X

My happy thought of today is I have just ply lined my new van and ordered the sign writting (anything that could go wrong did) but is all done now  ;D

Ok here is mine. Got up today dropped my employee off on a job that will earn his wage and me the wage I used to earn from my old boss. Took my little boy out for some breakfast then this afternoon going to do a job that will pay me doulbe what I used to earn a day at my old firm!

I love window cleaning and doing it for myself is even better. Ok we all have bad days but the good out way the bad by far in this job.

Had a puncture this morning, then one of my employees had to go to hospital this morning as he caught his finger on a skip, just had a row with the missus and she threw a dinner plate at me which smashed on the wall, i now have to try and remove the kethup off the wall!

has that cheered you all up as it did me?  :'(

always look on the brightside, at least i don't have to give her any money for shopping now ;D

Line the van up on a row of identical houses, then reverse on to the drive - do the job then realise you backed on to the wrong drive because  you forgot the mirrors make everything the other way round ::)

Tried collecting from a house I never cleaned. Looked the same though.
