Title: Alternative Job Titles?
Post by: WavieDavie on June 14, 2004, 08:51:37 pm
Our new man Colin Glenn reckons that he's a Transparent Weather Exclusion Systems Technician. I've been known to call myself a Visual Clarity Maintenance Executive on occasion, and I've heard of Vision Technician too.

Any other fancy job titles for window cleaners out there?

Well, we could fluff that up to a Glazed Partitions Maintenance Engineer!

Any more bids? I'm not too sure about the "engineer" part though, how about Exteriors Division as a suffix?

When I was starting out we used to stop off at a cafe run by this guy who had been in the windows game a while back. He told me an old name for window cleaners was "Diamond Scratcher".

What brought that back to mind was a new job I went to today - a 60's/70's self-build with big plates which had really thick frames which were varnished. And, needless to say, every time they were re-varnished, the old surface was sanded down . . . yes, you're ahead of me already - at least half an inch all round the edges was scratched. Cracking windows, but what a state they were in, a real sin.
