September 21 Oppurtunism 

You’ve never seen so many window cleaners in your life , until you move here . They are the service that so many are willing to provide .Its easy to see why , the start up cost is minimal and the skill is barely that .Yesterday I saw two guys walk along a window ledge that overhung a five meter drop straight into the surf .If that’s the sort of thing you’ve gotta do to win work you can stick it up your arse . It’s not the fear of getting hurt that I baulk at ,it’s the expectation that this is normal or fair . You can guess that they wouldn’t be paid a lot . Cleaners are everywhere , as are painters . Basic services are covered. Mobile dog grooming and walkers , food takeaway , all those things we get in Australia too . Mobile bicycle mechanics are popular .You can get your shaving blades delivered just in case you can’t get the job done with your last blunt one , not kidding .Yesterday I saw a guy in a flash new twin cab ute all sign written up offering mobile BBQ cleaning, can you believe it? If there’s a low cost business idea out there it’s already been done . The low skilled jobs are hunted up by a big lower class . There’s one out there that hasn’t been sighted yet ,….. the caulker . The holy grail of the low skilled .I don’t want to go there but the longer I stay here the more obvious it becomes . I’m inching bit by bit , hmmmmm   ,$34 to get 500 cards printed . Shit ,this old dog is struggling to learn any new tricks .
