Good Morning Window Cleaning World !!
I hope all is well with the window cleaning world as well as the rest of the world today. Well we have a new president officially in office. Hopefully that will start to help calm the financial panic everyone seems to be in. I know I sound selfish but I really like my job and would like to keep it while making sure of course that The Man stays in business for a long time to come.
Anyhow enough about politics and onto what's going on in our little world. We seem to be streaming along quite smoothly which is surprising to me. I can't really explain why this is so surprising considering this is how it should be but I guess I always try to prepare for the worst this way there aren't any surprises later on.
I had talked about communication a while back in my blogs acknowledging that it was definitely something we had to work on in here just like siblings do at home. We all definitely seem to be on the same page thus far which is a great thing. I personally thought that by now someone would be in an uproar about something based on past experiences; I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop..... and........ NOTHING!! YAY!!
Maybe I'm being too optimistic and this is only a short term thing, maybe we haven't had enough time to get on each others nerves yet. Hopefully and sadly to say maybe there was only one real thorn in this rose bush and it has been broken off; so this will last forever (haha).
We lost one member of our family over the last month shortly before our winter break. They are fine don't worry; they just moved on to another phase of their life. Tensions seem to be less since we came back minus one and shed a lot of light on some of our own issues and faults. We also make sure that we communicate openly a lot more about our plans, goals, likes and dislikes as well as share tasks at hand. One person is designated head of the project and the rest of us chip in ideas, connections, or just assistance where needed.
This is quite an awesome accomplishment for any business. A happy work place makes a productive work place right?! (I'm sure there's some savvy saying for this just as I'm sure I butchered this one). Follow in our footsteps, communicate openly & civilly, Grow up a little and weed out those thorns if necessary.
Have a Great Week

Happy New Year
Happy New Year Everyone!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and fulfilling holiday. I had a great holiday except for being sick for a little bit it was relaxing.
Now we are back feeling refreshed and we all seem to be getting along remarkably well so far. Well everyone except The Man who did not return from the holiday yet.
As I have told you about in previous posts this is the time of year we all reflect on our previous actions and find ways to better them for the new year to come. We are starting that now even without The Man being present. How dedicated are we now I mean come on we could act like wild teenagers who throw parties when the parents are away but no we are grown adults who are being responsible and keeping things going on point. (shhh most of us are most of the time anyway). Seriously though in this time of economic turmoil our main focus should be and is how to keep things going in a positive direction for everyone.
Well since it's so new being back I will have to wait a few days at least for the dramas to start so I have something exciting to report to you guys. So until then have a great week and enjoy the quiet while you can.
See you next week
