They come every so often to wash the church windows. Probably more like three times a year or something like that. The following story happened the first time that I encountered them six months ago...
The first thing that I must describe is the office. My desk was by the doorway. My office-mate Jess's desk was next to the giant window.
We were just working along, minding our own business when a ladder popped up at the window! I got excited and my first thought was it must be the maintenance guy! I think I'll try and scare him! So I voiced that thought and proceeded to lay down against the wall under the window.
Jess: "Jess, what are you doing?"
Me: "I'm going to scare him!"
Jess: "That's not the maintenance guy."
Me: "Oh dang! Well who is it?"
Jess: "I don't know but he's got hair!"
I strategically attempt to peek out the window and barely see a lot of brown messy hair atop a mystery man's head. I duck back down quickly.
Me: "Well this is really stupid right now, what am I going to do? I can't stand up because he'll see me and be like, 'Huh? Where'd she come from?' I guess I'm stuck down here."
Jess: "You could try and crawl back to your desk."
Me: "Oh, good one, so he can watch me crawl...is he done yet?
Jess: "I'm not watching him!"
Me: "Just, tell me when he's gone."
...30 seconds or so
Jess: "He's gone."
Me: "Phew, that was a close one!"
Jess: "Well, if it was the maintenance guy, you really shouldn't have tried to scare him anyways, him being on a tall ladder and all..."
Me: "Oh yeah! That whole situation was just dumb, I'm so dumb!"
So there's how it all happened. After that, the guy in the office down the hall from us kept on bugging me, saying that the window washer guys were waiting outside to talk to me! Now that would have been awkward. I don't think they saw me. But since then, the window washer guys have been using extended poles to wash the windows instead of using a ladder. It's a lot less awkward that way. :)
