An office with a view...

Post by Somewhere 'Offshore' »

I've nearly finished the second week in my new career, working in high access window cleaning.

Thankfully my vertigo, or lack of vertigo more to the point, hasn't changed over the years as I honestly wasn't sure how I'd handle it.

I'm bloody loving it!! :yahoo:

F*%k that, struggle to walk outside a lighthouse balcony.

At least you can give us a heads up for any salmon bust ups you see from your vantage point.

Good luck with your new occupation :thumbsup:

Varies from site to site mate.
'On paper' some sites inductions will say 25k but believe it or not the last sites cut off was 50k :wtf:
Some buildings will leave it up to us and some buildings, one in particular, security seems to call all the shots.

At the end of the day, it's up to us though.
