Well if there's a well paid vacancy for a 66 year old porn star.
Only joking I could keep that up for very long.
Seriously, I still have recurring nightmares where I'm working back in engineering, honestly, I wake up in a cold sweat, and I have been out of it these last 15 years.
No way would I ever work as an employee again, window cleaning is smiles better.

Would like to be a fat cat banker for someone and retire with a £700,000.00 pension :o :o :o
I was thinking the same, cant be that hard to get things totally wrong then get a massive payout each year for your trouble.

I work with dogs........




Well what comes out of them - customer said can you clean the back today? Gives me the money then gets in her car "oh it might smell of Jeyes fluid" and off she goes.
The back yard was a cesspit of dog crap mixed into a slurry of Jeyes Fluid what with that and the cattery built on the back it was close to chucking up time. Dirty filthy bitch!
The customer that is.

I would of posted the money through the letter box and never returned

I would have kept the money & put the sh*t through her letter box! ;)

I've done quite a few different jobs, and although I got fed up at most of them, I do get bored sometimes....

I like what I do because if I work hard I can finish early.
When I worked for other people, I always worked hard, and got promoted a few times, but that just means 25% more work for 10% less money
And as someone said I'm not sure someone would have me now.

The beauty of w/cleaning is I can make a decent living, and when I'm older I can cut back a bit...

s.w.c

i wouldn't change it, second thought the only way i would give this up is if i could own my own lake in the south of france no partners just mine and a lake here in the uk with a small tackle shop, then i would hang my window cleaning cap up. otherwise i like what i do and what ive got and the friendly nature of the job, im a outdoor person could not be stuck working in doors i would go mad, even if the weather is bad i like the outdoors.

In a word NO
I've hated every other job I've ever had
I dont tick any of the boxes, I'm not a team player / like working with others, taking orders etc. list goes on
I just never realised until I worked for myself, I would be pretty much unemployable now.
I never would have thought I'd end up a window cleaner, only did because I answered a job ad after coming back from oversea travels and after 2 years employed took the leap
I've never been happier, I also appreciate the help and advice I've recieved on here the last couple of years, without it the progression would have been a lot harder, so thankyou  ;)

I'd give it up if I could take up permanent residence in the Carribean to work as a diving instructor out past the reefs. I'd even take a pay cut. Unfortunately my health won't allow it so dream over. Looks like I'll have to make the most of window cleaning for myself.

Taught diving and taught people to become instructors for 2 years in Thailand and even that becomes a chore...and to be honest....I find window cleaning more of a challenge and the diving is now fun as it has returned to be my hobby and not just a job...

Cheers
