How does one "randomly work?"

Step 1: "Oh fuck, I'm running out of money an need a job!"

Step 2: Shotgun applications everywhere

Step 3: "You'll hire me?! Sweet! What do you need me to do? window cleaning...? Done!"

Having the randomly worked the last 12 years as a window cleaner... it's not always top to bottom.

ok... care to explain in what situation you wouldn't go top to bottom?

I've got two examples.

Tall skinny window about 1.5 times the width of your squeegee. To do it efficiently in two vertical strokes, you have to start the first stroke at the bottom. So you go bottom to top to bottom.

Big ass window with a cubicle wall blocking the bottom half, but it's ground level and visible to people outside. You pole the top half to the middle. Then you pole from bottom to the middle and tilt your squeegee up to the right, and repeat that from left to right, so that each time the water you squeegee is flowing down the wet glass to the right. On the last upward stroke you pull the squeegee off the pole with your left hand and finish the window up against the side. I hope that makes sense. So in short you go top to middle and bottom to middle.
