I am humbled by your extensive historical knowledge when all I can claim to know is current colloquial use.

But no matter what one calls them or why, I love them all.

While from any window it's fairly unnerving, it's particuarlly unsettling to have someone staring at you through your window when you're above the 20th floor.

Window washers wig me out.

Unfortunately none of them ever live up to my window-washer fantasy. Why do they have to be kind of scrawny and middle-aged instead of 20 and buff like I want them to be?

I still have the urge to flash them anyway. Perhaps one day I will.

I looked out one day and saw a very hot, very blond window washer.

It still squicked me out too much to remain while he cleaned my windows.

All the more so when the window is to your apartment, it is a saturday morning around 10am, and you are bare-ass naked doing the sex to your GF.

I turned around once to discover them outside my window, and totally jumped. I thought my heart was going to fly out of my mouth. I think I even squeeked or something. They laughed so hard they nearly fell off their platform, so I just laughed and gave them a wave, and proceeded to play tetris and drink coffee in their full view while they worked away in the hot sun.

It never occurred to me to flash them, though I did think about my habit of shutting my office door to readjust my skirt/bra/bunched undies, and I got worried.

I have never seen a hot IT guy. Granted, this is DC, but I never saw one in NY, either. I guess everything is better in Texas.

Or is that bigger?

Yes. I am not nearly as technologically incompetent as I claim to be when I need some eye candy. Really, I have no idea why that little tray that holds my keyboard and lets it slide under my desk keeps breaking. The screws are missing? The hell you say! Those damn cleaners!

I have only ever had somewhat lumpy IT guys crawling under my desk. It's ok though - just another example of God saving me from myself.

The OM started off working on user computers and was always being called to offices to help women reconnect their mysteriously disconnected printer cables.

But, he has never crawled under my desk in a professional sense.

And as the window washer falls screaming to his death, an excerpt from a law school exam flashes through your mind, forcing you to consider whether:

(a) you can be charged with murder, as you demonstrated reckless indifference to an unjustifiably high risk to human life;

(b) you can be charged with attempted seduction;

(c) you have an equitable claim against the deceased's estate for monetary compensation, as the pleasure he enjoyed from your show would otherwise constitute unjust enrichment;

(d) you have a contractual claim against the deceased's estate, becuase the deceased signalled his acceptance of your offer by his performance, despite the intervening act of his death; or

(e) answers (b) and (c), and sometimes (a) and (e), unless it's both (e) and (c) and not (a).

Okay, I need a really good nonsticky, nongreasy, odorless sunscreen for every day use.

Any recommendations? Anyone try the new Neutrogena?

Do not try the Neutrogena oil-free 45 sunblock. It is as slimey as goose shit.

The Neutrogena visibly firm face lotion SPF 20 is quite nice, though, and 20 is all you really need for everyday stuff short of sunbathing or heading to an outdoor game. The copper content, though, does make it smell a bit like fresh blood.

I did that once on accident. The window washer / painter / repair guy (I can't remember what they were doing) in question was working early in the morning on my third floor window in a dorm. My bed was right next to the window, and I just opened the curtain to see what was going on. I totally forgot that I wasn't wearing anything. The guy nearly fell off his scafolding.

I didn't miss the point that it was Tony Siragusa who fucked him over. There just wasn't any interesting explanation or twist as to WHY. I stand by my opinion.

(As opposed to all the brilliant movies from the last few years for which my employer is responsible. Heh.)
