My job: Expectation vs RealityWhen I worked as a window cleaner, everybody - and I mean everybody - I knew asked me the "how's yer father" question.

Thanks to Rotating Wobbly Hat for the idea

it's a portmanteau term, it covers a lot of shit these daysa man who comes in and with good intentions tries to make a broken thing work, or make a thing in the first place that should work but doesn't quite. But not before the marketers and stylists have already said 'But look, it's beaurtiful. Who cares if it doesn't work?
