I've just realised this has finally worn off! I've been doing this job now for a year and a half and hated the feeling of being "just a windowcleaner" even though i enjoyed the job straight away.
 I spent thirty odd years in a skilled factory job thinking i was something special when i obviously wasn't. How about you?

Key word in post is "just" ! If you live by "just" you wont give your 100% .

each to there own.
been doing it for 2 years, im a qualified carpenter, but earn more being "just" a window cleaner, have more time off than being employed.and made some good friends in the process.
no more to be said.

Years ago a mate of mine who's a shiner was on holiday with a buddy who was a chimney sweep. The lady at the B & B was chatting and asked them about work,... the chimney sweep said, "I'm a flueologist,.. but Mike is "just" a window cleaner"!

20 years later he's still annoyed by that comment!

at the end of the day were all just window cleaners but what's wrong with that? a lawer is juat a lawer, a pilot is just a pilot and a supermarket manager is just a supermarket manager! the only people that do a job that arnt 'just' are people like fire fighters, policemen. doctors, nurses, solders, ade workers etc etc they make a diffrence that matters. not that being 'just' is a bad thing i love being just and wouldnt change it for the world......


......well maybe if some one offered me a job as a porn star!

I may just be a window cleaner, but it is my business, I am my own boss and I work the hrs that I want!

Done the high profile job, I was a finance manager, working long hrs with untold stress, got offered voluntary redundancy, took it and started doing what I do now!

I did have the benefit of having done window cleaning before though for a family member so wasnt going into it blind!

I may 'Just' be a window cleaner, but I love it and wouldnt have it any other way!

people like to think of window cleaners as being thick, cowboys, benefit cheats and somehow very dirty sorts of people, thats what annoys me about the stigma of wc'ing!
We clean windows, how could you think of someone being dirty if they clean things for a living?
As long as we have a positive mental attitude about work (which is hard sometimes of course) dress smart, be polite and carry out each job in a professional manner, nobody should be able to say anything bad about us.

I stick my fingers up to their attitude, I'm just gonna keep on doing what I do and hopefully one day that attitude will change

It's not what you do that matters, it's how you do it!!!

How you doing mate ? 

[Cleaner Windows]

“Just” a window cleaner is for the less mindful people on the subject.

Anybody who gave it some thought would be able to differentiate between “just” and “professional” and start to see the difference between the too.

One of the reasons why you have unprofessional window cleaners is because they don’t know how to be professional.

 

 

nice one, that sums it up nicely! well put mate

  I bumped into a friend in Halfords a couple of years ago while we were looking for a birthday present for one of the kids, I told my wife we had nowhere to put a go-cart, he said
 "you should get a proper job and then you could buy a house big enough"

  I said nothing, just invited them round for a bbq, the look on his face was priceless when he saw the size of my house and garden.
