Window washers

Looking out my window (my cubicle happens to have one), I see that the window cleaners are busy on one of the other buildings. That looks like a dangerous job — rappeling down the side of a tower with a bucket and squeegee. Difficult too. There’s a lot of surface area to cover.

Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t it kind of awkward when one of those people passes your window? What’s the correct etiquette? Do you close the blinds? Ignore the guy? Or nod a friendly hello? Or do you have fun and write insulting messages on sticky notes?

Or maybe you could just play stupid games, like get really close to the window and follow the squeegee’s every movement. And when he drops down to the next floor, run downstairs and do it again.

I should stop looking out my window and actually get something done.
