Window Washing @ Aon Center
Recently, I was standing in my office going through my email, listening to Stern, minding my own business when this dude dropped down on his scaffolding and proceeded to wash the windows 64 floors up at the Aon Building. Not sure why I get such a kick out of this pretty intimate face-to-face interaction, but I do! I posted a similar photo from my time at Google when I saw the window washer back in 2012 here on the blog . This guy gave me a head nod and I then proceeded to give his equipment a once-over. He was harnessed in but he didn't have the suction cups that connected his rig to the building like the guy back in 2012. I have a HUGE fear of heights, so I don't know how these guys do this job. Not only are they cold and wet, but they're dangling on a piece of aluminum by a few cords 64 floors up. I guess there's some satisfaction in cleaning windows - what with seeing the job getting done in front of your eyes - but the height. My GOD...the height.
