Here we go again.

Friend i have not seen for years. ..." Hi, nice to see you, etc etc etc.. what job are you doing now.


Me ; " Working for myself, window cleaning.

Friend; Oh no , laughing... what are you doing really!!!.

Me; seriously thats what i do, and i love it.


Friend; oh really.. honestly?... how come you ended up doing that.

Me ;... what do you mean...? i love it and i will never do anything else.


EX!!! friend... well as long as you are happy..(eyes rolling)



It really annoys me...and before i even start to say anything, like its doing really well etc etc.... they always lose interest as they hear the word...window cleaner.
and you can see the thoughts swirling around in their heads.

Its as though i have been labelled and thats that.

Well i am proud of the round i am still building, and happy that i made a move into something i thoroughly enjoy.

There , its off my chest now.

just think of them in a dead end job on minimum wage dude 

[Alex Gardiner]

I've always liked being a window cleaner, no expectations from anyone else. Just go out there - do the job and go home.

It's only money anyway,what really counts is what you do with the rest of your life.

Did the guy from Sandal ring you yesterday Gaz.
He wants a winda cleana so i gave him ur number as we dont do Sandal.
Told him to let u know Pete gave him ur number.

[L.J.Thorpe]

chill out gazza
who cares what others think
i love my job 95 to 99% of the time
my brother in law is a crane engineer who jacked his job a couple of weeks ago
well paid but long hours,lots of driving and stressful
in the end he could not stick it and just flipped (he has a second interview at a newer less stressful job on tuesday,lucky to get i too at the moment :)
my brother is a motor insurance engineer for direct line,a regional supervisor no less
but direct line is owned by one of the banks thats in big crap and he is just waiting for his job to disappear
in the last month i have picked up about a dozen or so new jobs
on tues me and marcus was walking around a big factory in suits pricing it up and pretending to be businessmen
it was great,regardless of whether we get it or not, it was two mates chancing their arm,trying to take the next step up
i love my job
balls to all the snides and the sneerers

Have you built your whole round on handouts gazza!!

[Wayne Thomas]

Too many people label others by the job they do but that only accounts for less than a third of their working time in their working life, not their personality

[geefree]

Have you built your whole round on handouts gazza!!

my main large round is here in my town.... which was built through countless hours pounding the streets.

I had this a couple of weeks ago, im a tiler by trade and i was on a job for a builder i do a lot of work for and there was a painter who keep saying i was a tiler no money in that job, you never make a living doing that, get a proper job like painting he kept on and on about it anyway a few days passed and a plumber came on site that i knew and we were all having lunch and the plumber said to me, your three properties you rent out need the boiler safety checks, so i said ok can you do them...with this the painter nearly choked on his sandwich and he never said another word to me    

[Trotsky]

  So what? You are just a cleaner... oh! sorry a Specialist Cleaner... you clean windows, Just windows?... so your not even a real cleaner then! : : :

That's what an old friend said to me!
I just smiled, I don't talk to him, much now...  He's a copper, I mean a real "Police Constable" 
(In all fairness he is a nice fella!) 

[Dean Aspects]

It used to bother me what other people thought and their perception but window cleaning has bought me my house a nice car foreign holidays and other luxuries i work mostly the hours i want and take days off when i want with no one telling me about targets etc no stress in this job only have i got that window clean dont be bothered what others think just take care of you and yours and let them worry about where they stand on the social ladder

[AuRavelling79]

The more people with this attitude and the less competition there will be! Never paint w/c as a good earner to those (unless it's a very good friend) outside the trade is my motto!

[petski2]

Gaz your silence speaks volumes my friend
I take it the Sandal guy didn't ring you

[AJ]

I had a mate who is an estate agent, said that to me once.
Who,s laughing now!
