Ah, the frustration.


For those of you who have worked in real estate, visited me at work, visited someone else you know who works in real estate, bought a house, sold a house, rented a house, or even walked past a real estate office and drooled at what you could never afford - which by now I think I've covered most individuals, you would know - that all real estate offices have a display window, Full of all the house that are currently For Sale.
If you have ever been a receptionist for a real estate office - then you would know that part of your duties - along with the washing up, vacuuming, dusting etc that you must clean the windows. I'm meant to clean the windows every second day. But.. It's a pretty big window, I'm a pretty slack employee. So I probably clean the windows once every two weeks, sometimes once a week if I'm bored.
I've been trying to be a better employee lately so I thought, What the hey, maybe I'll clean the windows today. So off I go to get my window cleaner - and some newspaper.
Hint - Newspaper is the best thing to clean your windows with!!
The window was as you can imagine after 2 weeks of me being on holidays - pretty dirty. People tapping the window, pressing their noses up against the glass, well, it leaves dirty smears. And yeah, you get that. But I wasn't prepared for the chocolate smears.
Someone's little child was obviously a bit too high on Easter happiness and forget that they had chocolate all over their fingers. Or maybe the little rotters did it to spite Me. Either way, I spent more time cleaning those windows than I wanted to.
This is what I get for trying to be a good employee. And people wonder why I don't like kids!
