#tall-men typically live to be 60 so that's still middle-aged

So I figured out how to convert Dungeon Meshi ages into their equivalent for different races.
Assuming the age of adulthood is roughly equivalent between all of them, and that a 16 y/o tall-man is equivalent to a 14 y/o half-foot, 80 y/o elf, 40 y/o dwarf, 40 y/o gnome, etc., then divide the character's age by their race's age of adulthood to get your multiplier, then multiply that number by the age of adulthood for the race you want to convert it to.
Or put simply:
([character age]/[their race's age of adulthood]) x [age of adulthood for different race]
For example, Mithrun is 185. Elves reach adulthood at 80. 185 divided by 80 is 2.3125. So that means Mithrun is 2.3125 times the age of adulthood for any given race. If I multiply that by 16, then he would be 37 in tall-man years.
That being said, if Chilchuck was a tall-man he would be 33.
He should've been at the club

(sorry the formatting is screwed up, )
It was just another day at the Oowada household. The sun was shining through blinds in the smallish bedroom, birds chirping their usual song outside. It was an amazing day outside and anyone would be happy just looking out there. Everyone except one person.
It was the one year anniversary of Daiya’s death. The gang leader had died from a terrible accident. He’d been driving one day when a car, a self driving car, had hit him going 60 miles per hour. Even thinking about it made Mondo want to break down sobbing. Even all this time later. But especially that day.
The man tried to go back to sleep from a nightmare, even though it was nearly noon. Mondo heard the door to his room open, even more light flooding into his room. He grumbled something under his breath and remained under his comforter. A moment later, a hand gently gripped his shoulder, shaking him a bit.
“It is currently 11:49 am. It is time to get ready for today Oowada-kun.” a familiar voice said. Mondo sighed and sat up, rubbing his temples. He already just wanted to go back to sleep.
“Yeah, whatever tin man. Can you at least leave so I can change?” the biker said in a groggy, aggravated voice. He looked over at his android, Ishimaru.
“Yes, of course.” the android said with a small bow, leaving the room. He closed the door behind him and headed for the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Ishimaru had been Mondo’s android for a while. Daiya had brought him home one day and said he could help out around the house and such. That was Taka’s main purpose of course. Mondo seemed a bit skeptical, but he trusted his brother. The android had actually been a big help. Their apartment didn’t look like a pigsty anymore at least.
Ishimaru stayed and did his job, even after Daiya was gone. Things were definitely different though. He noticed how Mondo would come back even later than before, usually either hurt or drunk. Everytime Ishimaru offered to help Mondo though, the biker would just yell at him and say he was fine. Taka’s coding prevented him from doing anything more though, so he just had to watch all this happen.
There were some times though, usually when Mondo was drunk, when he would talk to the android about his pain. About how much not having Daiya hurt. And each time, Ishimaru couldn’t do much but comfort Mondo to the best of his ability. It usually didn’t go well though. ‘How can a piece of plastic help me?! You can’t even feel anything! You don’t know what it’s like!’ Mondo would say. Still, Ishimaru was always there.
After getting dressed, Mondo walked out of his room, seeing Ishimaru cooking in the kitchen. He didn’t pay much attention to the android though. The biker made his way into the living room, sitting down on the old sofa. When anyone sat down, you could hear the springs being pressed down with a “squeak!”
Mondo turned the TV on, watching the first thing that came on. The news reporter, seemingly a middle aged man with some grey hairs, started talking about the latest new story.
“More and more androids have been wreaking havoc in our cities. Many homicides and other shocking cases have been caused by cyberlife’s technology.” the man said in a serious voice. The screen cut to an interview with one of the cyberlife engineers, a reporter asking the employee a ton of questions. Ishimaru watched the television from the kitchen. His LED light flashed yellow for a moment before he focused on the food again. He put the pancakes, eggs and fruit he prepared on a plate, walking over to the living room.
“Your food is ready Oowada.” the android announced, setting the plate on the table. “I will bring your coffee over in a moment.” Ishimaru added, walking back over to the kitchen. Mondo didn’t say a word to the android, continuing to focus on the TV.
Ishimaru took the pot out of the coffee maker and poured it into a plain white mug. He also grabbed a fork and knife from the silverware drawer. The android grabbed a few napkins on his way back to the living room and carefully placed everything by the plate of food. Mondo gave him a quick “thanks.”
“Is there any other way I can assist you Oowada?” Ishimaru asked, his gaze set on the biker.
“No, that’s all. Now fuckin’ leave me alone.” Mondo said grumpily, glaring up at the android. Ishimaru simply nodded and started to clean up around the apartment.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ishimaru had just got done washing the dishes from dinner. The sun was nearly gone, but it was just as loud outside, cars honking at each other and such. It was almost 10pm and Mondo was still sitting on the couch, looking at the TV. He seemed so much more empty and angry than usual. That was understandable though.
To Taka’s surprise, Mondo got up from the couch and stretched with a sigh. “Are you going out again tonight?” Ishimaru asked the tall man as he walked out of the living area.
“Yeah. I am.” Mondo responded bluntly. He stopped at the kitchen area, looking back at the android. Mondo thought for a moment and then sighed, crossing his arms.
“Wanna come with me or somethin’?” Mondo asked the android. Oowada thought it would be best to bring Ishimaru with him. Just in case he got too drunk to call a taxi for himself. Plus he didn’t quite want to be alone, even if Ishimaru wasn’t a “real person”.
“I am not programmed to make my own choices. I only follow and obey orders.” Ishimaru replied. Mondo rolled his eyes and started walking away. “Come with me then.” he muttered, disappearing into his room. The android stood for a moment, then went back to finishing up the dishes.
A little bit later, Mondo walked back into the kitchen area, his hair made up in a pompadour. Ishimaru stood still, waiting for Mondo to speak, but he just grabbed his keys and walked over to the door. Oowada opened it and stood in the doorway, looking back at Ishimaru.
“Well, are you coming?” Mondo asked in an irritated tone, his voice a bit louder than normal. The android then quickly made his way over to the biker, following him out of the apartment.
------------------------------------------------------------------
They arrived at a parking garage not too far from their destination, parking the vehicle in a free space. It was surprisingly busy that day. Mondo and Ishimaru got out of the vehicle and started walking. Ishimaru looked straight in front of him, not saying a word. Mondo thought the lack of conversation was getting a little awkward.
“Isn’t there anything you want to talk about? Or do you only ever follow orders?” Oowada asked, looking down at the android.
“That is correct. Androids don’t typically have much to talk about. We are not programmed to have interests.” Ishimaru responded, not looking at the larger man. Mondo nodded, and looked down at the sidewalk, crossing his arms. “That sounds pretty shitty.” the biker mumbled.
Ishimaru looked at Mondo curiously, his red eyes focused on him. “What do you mean?” he asked.
Mondo shrugged and looked back at Ishimaru. “Cyberlife or whatever brags about how human-like their androids are but they really only look like humans. You don’t act or sound like people. You’re just cool looking robots.” he explained. Taka’s LED light flashed yellow once again, looking back in front of him.
“My model at least is only made to serve people. There is no reason to include things like emotions. It’s considered a virus if an android like myself feels things.” Ishimaru tells Mondo.
For a moment, Oowada felt bad for Ishimaru. Of course he knew that machines feeling things could end up badly, but something about it still felt wrong. He shouldn’t feel bad for an android though. There was no point in doing so, right?
Soon enough, the two found themselves at the bar, the bright sign glowing on them. Ishimaru could see a sign on the door that read “NO ANDROIDS,” and stood outside the building as Mondo walked in.
The android didn’t really know what to do. For whatever reason, Mondo hadn’t taken him to an android station, and the man wasn’t giving him any orders. And so Ishimaru just stood there, looking around at his surroundings. Some people found him just sitting there a bit creepy.
After a half hour of sitting outside, Ishimaru saw Mondo walk out of the building with another man. They walked to the back of the building where they couldn’t be seen, raising Ishimaru’s curiosity.
Ishimaru walked around to the side of the building, looking at the two from the corner of the brick wall. He heard them both yelling profanities at each other, both their words slurred. Taka’s light turned yellow, continuing to watch the two men.
It was mostly just pointless insults and empty threats until they both started fighting. Ishimaru immediately came and walked over to the area in the back. “Gentleman, please calm down.” the android said in a serious voice. “Awe yer wittle android is here ta save ya huh?” the stranger snickered. Mondo looked over at Ishimaru and furrowed his brows. “Don’t fuckin’ move dumbass!” He yelled. The other man punched Mondo in the face, a sick grin present on his features. Oowada growled and fought back, punches being exchanged between the two. Taka wanted to do something, but he had to listen to Mondo, right?
Right?
Not even five minutes later, the stranger pulled out a handgun, pointing it at Mondo. “Don’t you dare fucking move or i’ll shoot’cha!” The man stated, looking Oowada dead in the eyes. “Does it look like I’m scared a ya?!” the biker said, glaring at the stranger.
‘What is he doing?!’ Ishimaru thought. Thought?
The android gulped and took a step closer. This made the man point his weapon at Ishimaru, making Taka stop. “Ya better not move either!” he yelled. Ishimaru looked over at Mondo, trying to seem calm.
“Mondo! Go! Run!” Ishimaru shouted over at Oowada. “No! I’m gonna give this guy the beatin’ he deserves dammit!” He replied angrily. “And you better not do shit!” he added.
Ishimaru had to obey his owner’s commands. It was in his code. So why did he feel the need to save him? Why did he feel the need to defy his orders? This wasn’t right, Ishimaru knew it. But he needed to keep Oowada safe.
The stranger had pointed his weapon over at Mondo, not wanting him to do anything. Ishimaru took this opportunity to act. He kicked the unknown man in the shins as hard as he could, making the stranger fall to the ground and drop his weapon. Taka quickly ran over to Mondo and put his arm around him, dragging him out of the area. “Come on, we have to go!” Ishimaru exclaimed as Mondo protested.
“I told ya not ta do anythin’, asshole! I could’ve handled myself ya know!” Mondo shouted at Taka, trying to shake out of his grasp.
“You were going to get yourself hurt. You already are hurt from fighting.” Ishimaru retorted, furrowing his brows.
“Still! Aren’t ya supposed to follow orders or whatever anyways?!” Oowada continued, looking at Ishimaru. Taka tried to ignore him, knowing this was not normal nor permitted.
Ishimaru heard the stranger start yelling at them again and quickened his pace, still holding onto Mondo. There was a bus stop just a bit away and he could see the bus approaching. Taka tried to go into a sprint with Mondo pushing and yelling at him at the same time. Right as soon as the stranger from before started getting close, Ishimaru got Mondo and himself on the bus. The doors closed and Taka turned to put Mondo in a seat.
“Ya shoulda let me at em’!” Oowada kept saying, still pretty drunk. Ishimaru sighed and sat in the seat next to Mondo, folding his hands on his lap. “No, I shouldn’t have. You would have gotten even more injured.” Taka repeated, looking over at Mondo. Oowada just grumbled and continued to complain.
Not even five minutes later, Mondo was passed out, his head leaning on Ishimaru’s shoulder. For some odd reason, it gave Taka a warm feeling. He smiled softly and looked out the window. He’d always enjoyed Mondo’s company, even if he was difficult at times, but this was...different. Ishimaru figured that he shouldn’t worry about it too much. His main priority at the moment was making sure Mondo would be okay.
------------------------------------------------------------------
After having to deal with Mondo’s complaining and such again, Ishimaru got him back to the apartment. Taka unlocked the door and opened it, guiding Oowada to the bathroom. Once he got to set the biker in the bathtub, he went back and closed the door, locking it. He made his way back to the washroom and found Mondo starting to fall asleep again, mumbling incoherently. Ishimaru turned the shower on, cold water soaking Mondo’s clothes and ruining his hair. Oowada stuttered, processing everything.
“What the- why’d ya do that?!” Mondo stammered, looking at Ishimaru. “I figured it was a quick way to sober you up.” Ishimaru replied bluntly.
Oowada sat up a bit more and sighed, turning off the water. “Well you were definitely right,” Mondo mumbled, crossing his arms.
A moment passed, neither of them making a sound. Taka took it upon himself to fill the silence. “Do you remember anything that happened?” Ishimaru asked Mondo, sitting on the side of the tub. Oowada thought for a minute, looking down.
“Not really. I remember have a few more drinks than usual, getting in a fight and-” Mondo paused, his eyes going wide. He quickly skittered out of the bathtub. “You-you...I told you to…” the biker tried to continue, but nothing came out. Ishimaru knew what he was thinking about though.
“...Yes. I went against your orders. But I...I’m very sorry.” Ishimaru responded quietly, looking down. “I needed to protect you. You have fought so, so hard and I wasn’t going to let you die there because of some stranger!” Taka continued, his voice getting louder. “I care about you probably more than I should, and I needed you to be safe! I-” he cut himself off, tightly grabbing the cloth of his white pants.
“I know what happens after this. I know what happens to...to deviants.” Ishimaru stated, trying to remain strong. He felt scared though. About what his inevitable fate was. About feeling anything. “Before you return me, I want to say something though. It’s been-” Mondo cut the deviant off, grabbing the collar of his shirt. Tears were in the bikers eyes, rolling down his cheeks.
“I’m not just going to throw you away! You-you saved me dammit!” Oowada shouted shakily, sniffiling. Ishimaru looked at Mondo, shocked by his words. “Wh...what?” Taka stuttered, looking back at Mondo. His ruby red eyes were wide in surprise.
“But...I went against your orders. I went against my code. I'm defective. Why would you want a defective android?” Ishimaru asked, frowning a bit. Mondo growled, pulling Ishimaru closer.
“Because! You’ve been the only-only thing here for me! The only thing who seems to care about me anymore! You risked your life to save me from getting fucking shot!” Oowada replied, tears continuing to fall from his cheeks. Ishimaru was still silent, dumbfounded by the man in front of him.
“Are you still intoxicated?” Taka asked, not knowing what else to say. Mondo was quiet for a moment before laughing a bit. It had been the first time Ishimaru saw Oowada smile in a year. It made the same warm feeling as before return.
“No, I’m not drunk. Well, at least not as drunk as before.” the biker responded, letting go of Ishimaru. Taka’s feet connected with the ground once again, his gaze still focused on Mondo.
“So...you aren’t going to get rid of me?” Ishimaru asked, making sure he was hearing things right. There had to be something wrong with his audio processor. Oowada shook his head, slightly smiling at Taka.
“Nah, I couldn’t trash ya now. I’m too attached or whatever,” Mondo said with a small laugh. Ishimaru couldn’t help but smile a bit as well, starting to tear up. The deviant laughed lightly, wiping his eyes. He didn’t know what these new feelings were. It was all very confusing.
Mondo noticed Ishimaru’s teary eyes and panicked a little, giving Ishimaru a bit of a concerned look.
“Are you alright? Oh god did I say something fucked up?” Oowada asked worriedly. Ishimaru shook his head, a smile still on his face. “No, it is actually the opposite!” Taka said, looking up at Mondo. They stood in comfortable silence for a few moments, just lost in the moment.
“I do hope you don’t think of me in a negative light now. I promise I do not have bad intentions.” Ishimaru said, looking to the side. “I know recently other deviants have been doing quite awful things.” he added with a small frown. Mondo shook his head, his gaze still on Ishimaru.
“It’s fine. I thought the old emotionless machine you was kind fuckin’ creepy anyways,” Oowada said with a small laugh, crossing his arms once again. Ishimaru opened his mouth to respond, but sighed. “I suppose you are right to a degree.” Taka admitted. Mondo chuckled a little bit.
“What do you think about emotions and shit?” Oowada asked Ishimaru curiously. Taka hummed and thought for a moment, looking back at Mondo. “It’s...confusing,” he started. “But I am sure I can figure it all out with you!” Ishimaru said enthusiastucally. For whatever reason, Oowada blushed ever so slightly and smiled.
“I still don’t know to handle me emotions if i’m being honest. I’ve had them for my whole life and it’s still confusing as hell,” Mondo responded with a chuckle. Ishimaru put a hand on Mondo’s shoulder and grinned up at him. Oowada didn’t think he’d ever see such a bright smile from an android. Before Mondo would think any further, Taka spoke up.
“Well, then we could figure it out together!” Ishimaru said cheerfully. Mondo felt his cheeks heat up a little more, looking into Taka’s rose colored eyes.
For the first time in a year, Mondo felt as if he wasn’t as alone. It was a bit weird to him, being this close to an android, but it didn’t really matter. He finally had someone to talk to. And Ishimaru had someone to figure out his newfound emotions with.
Oowada nodded, smiling even wider. “Yeah, I guess we could.”

@satans-helper​ thank you for tagging me love! This week has been rough, I have had a shit day looking for jobs, but now I’ve got a beer and I’m answering this because self care or whatever. Leggo!
1. What is your middle name?
Marlene
2. How old are you?
19
3. When is your birthday?
August 20th
4. What is your zodiac sign?
Leo sun; Capricorn rising; Taurus moon
5. What is your favourite colour?
Orange
6. What’s your lucky number?
8 or 20
7. Do you have any pets?
not any more :( but growing up I had a corgi mix named Lulu. She was dope. Fun lil origin story about her: my mom missed the majority of my first birthday becuase she had to stay late at work becuase her coworker’s dog was having puppies and had to leave early. My mom was like “Angela if I’m gonna be late for my kids birthday celebration can I at least get first pick of the puppies?” So when the puppies were finally able to go to different homes, my mom sat little one year old me in their pen to let me pick the one we’d take home. Something drew me to the runt of the litter (maybe it was the fact that she didn’t straight up attack me like her brothers and sisters) and she lived a happy 16 and a half years with us.
8. Where are you from?
Southern California
9. How tall are you?
5'6
10. What shoe size are you?
Womens 11 but I usually wear a mens 9.5 because I have wide feet

18. Do you want children?
Not really. I’m 19, barely an adult, so kids aren’t in my plans right now. I’m not sure if they’ll ever be in my plans. But if I do decide I want children one day, I would want to have more than one because I am an only child and I wouldn’t want that for my kid.

Tumblr media
Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence. Canon-typical gore. Canon-typical derogatory language. 
"I wonder what she's gonna do this time," John mutters from the far end of the table, picking at his nails, huffing out a laugh. "I bet she's wearin' red today, brothers." he laughs to himself.
"Oh, come on now John, don't start." Arthur scolds his younger brother, turning his head to him but not his eyes. Arthur was blankly staring into the grain of the table.
"I'm sure it’ll be a red dress day from speaking with her over the telephone." Tommy adds, glaring at them both as he walks back and forth across the floor of the Garrison.
"And how are you still livin'? You of all of us should hope she's not in red today. You're the one that got all balled up and conned her into this mess." John retorts.
"I did not con her and since you can not strangle anyone through the telephone, I am still alive and I still have to deal with this, so shut up and let me handle it." he answers, his voice low.
"She's gonna be so fuckin' mad." Arthur mumbles, not so much in retort but he felt bad for you. "I'd put my money on red today." As much as he did enjoy your lethal escapades together, when it was just one of you angry without the other, there was no fun to be had by either of you.
"What'd you do to her, Thomas?" Alfie shouts as he comes up the back hallway into the bar.
"It's not so much me as Sabini." Tommy says, shaking the hand holding a cigarette towards Alfie.
"What a twist of the truth that is." Arthur replies, nervous in anticipation of your iminent arrival.
"What is it you've lured me into today, Tommy?" Alfie's tone is scolding, pulling up a chair to the far side of a long table sat in the middle of a cleared Garrison.
"Alfie. I've invited you as a mediator of sorts. I figured she might be more inclined to behave herself if you're here. A living witness as to what happens to us here today. I believe you are the only among us to have not wronged her in some way."
"Yet." Arthur says in a vaguely intimidating way. Alfie narrows his eyes in question at the man ignoring his presence otherwise across the room.
Tommy stops to stand in the space between the two chairs to his left next to his brothers and Alfie. "I went through with an alternative plan from what I had discussed with her previously." his fingertips rest on the top of the table, his head up as he speaks with no enthusiasm.
"No, she fuckin' told you this would happen if you let the Italians in on it. Her words exactly." Arthur interupts, his voice much less somber than it was.
"I remember her words, Arthur." Tommy says with a sigh, closing his eyes for a moment. He takes a deep breath and goes back to explaining the situation, his words directed at only Alfie. "I lied to her and said I wouldn't ask for the Italians help to scope out a place for her that she's had her eye on robbing. But, it was in their territory and I didn't want to deal with them being fuckin' pricks about it. It was a very ambitious job. Even for her." he takes a moment to push back feeling bad about what he'd done. "The fuckin' Italians get spooked and kill every guard on duty. Now the place is sealed tighter than a tomb and there is no way in for the foreseeable future." the last part comes out faster than the rest.
"And?" Alfie demands, being able to tell he isn't getting the full extent to the cause of your anger.
"And they stole things while they were in there that they are refusing to hand over." his head dips as he adds the last words, laced with annoyance.
"Ah. There is it is, now, see?" Alfie nods, "Just tell the truth Tommy, that's all ya gotta do." he shakes his head and tsks him. He motions with his hand at Tommy and looking at the two other Shelby's at the other end of his side of the table in solidarity at being disappointed with him. "They got something she had her eye on, didn't they?" his voice dips low with a tone of knowing, directed by to Tommy.
"Yes." he says flatly, refusing to look at him.
"Oh, I do imagine she will be quiet upset by that now, yeah?" he can't help the grin that spreads across his face, fully at the expense of Tommy.
"One of those fuckin' eggs she goes on about." Arthur mumbles, his elbows resting on the table in front of him, watching the door.
"Fuckin' Faberge?" Alfies voice goes higher pitched. "Where in hell was she trying to break in to?" his voice grows louder. Tommy ignores his question.
"Have you ever seen Gen angry, Alfie?" Tommy asks, turning his head to him.
"No I have not had, what sounds like, the distinct pleasure to witness this event." his hands clasp over the handle of his cane.
"Well, you're fuckin' about to." John grumbles, chewing his toothpick as he sits straight up in his chair, adjusting his jacket. Alfie's head quickly swivels towards the door.
"Best shut your mouths, all of ya." Arthur says as he stands from his chair to greet you as your silhouette appears in the frosted glass of the door, pausing before reaching for the handle. They all see and share a glance as they can see the red of your dress through the foggy surface.
You walk through the door to see the four men, all looking at you in a different way. You were angry. You were seething. Did you want to scream and say things Tommy would deflect until he was alone with his thoughts in his drunken mind, alone in the middle of the night, turning his blue eyes red? Yes. But were you? No. You had been lied to. That very specifically stung. It hurt so deeply you were numbed to it. Thomas should thank his lucky stars for that. Your planning of the job that you'd been working on for quite some time was now voided out. You would get over that eventually. You were not weeping for the loss of life of the guards. They knew what they were signing up for. Were you mad that things you craved to be your own were now in the hands of those you considered your enemies? Yes. You weren't sure how long it would take to get over that aspect. But in the meantime you tried to appear more like an abyss, calm with the threat of danger lying just under the surface instead of roaring in like a typhoon.
"This place finally looks worthy of me visiting it." you say, pulling off your gloves with your teeth, referring to the new golden interior of the bar. You hadn't been here in ages and under different circumstances, you'd be much more complimentary of the updates.
"It'll never be worthy of you, sweetheart." Arthur's gruff tone did disarm you if only for a few milliseconds. He approaches you with opens arms, waiting for you to reciprocate.
"My peach." you say, patting his cheek and wrapping your arms around his neck in a hug. He tightly embraces you, shaking your body just slightly in a show of enthusiasm at your words of praise. You place a kiss on his cheek and he moves to the back of the chair he was sitting in. You look down your nose at John who was still gnawing his toothpick as his fingers wrapped around the end of it.
"Well, c'mon then, up with you." you pleasantly command as he takes out his toothpick and grins. You wrap your arms around him as well, kissing his cheek the same as Arthur, "It feels as if it has been many moons since I've seen you."
"It's felt even longer to me." he says with a cheeky grin as he pulls away from you.
You smirk, tapping his nose with your finger, "Charmers, the lot of you." you tutt, as he sits down.
Tommy doesn't open his arms as he knows what the response to be. "No point in letting you in close when I know you at the very least have a knife on you."
"I'd call you a smart boy if your actions didn't speak exactly the opposite of you." you hiss, shaking your head. Your eyes look to Alfie, who you are surprised to see here. You stand closer to Tommy, glaring up at him. "But you're smart enough to bring someone not a brother here today so I don't slap the piss out of you for lying to me." you hiss quietly. "Your's will be coming Shelby." you say before moving your attention to your unexpected guest. "What brings you all the way out here, Alfie?" you inquire, your tone now welcoming. He stands as you get closer.
"It seems as though you do. Since our Tommy here has gone and fucked up everything for you, hasn't he?" he kisses your hand instead of your cheeks. He's cautious of you. Good. He should be today. "I almost wept at the news of him ruining your plans to get your hands on Feberege, I did." he says, slightly pouting in his almost sincere words. He holds your hands in his. "I am truly, very sorry for your loss." You sigh as you hold eye contact with him.
"So am I." your eyelashes flutter and you turn your head. Alfie is familiar with the longing look he finds in your eyes as you think of your prize. "Beautiful she was." You clear your throat after you pause for a few seconds. You move to sit in the closest chair. Tommy sits to your left. You wait in silence.
Sabini sits across from Tommy, another vaguely recognizable man to his right, and from the looks of him, a much lower ranking man to his left. This man is seated across from you.
You let Tommy speak first, you knew how this worked. Your hands are in your lap, your back straight and your eyes full of the fury of a woman scorned.
"Who's she?" Sabini asks Tommy, his gloved hand motioning to you.
"The party in question that has been wrong by the consequences of your men's actions." Tommy states plainly, you can tell by the stiffness in his shoulders he wasn't happy with how this was going already. Neither were you.
"Address your questions of me, to me, Mr. Sabini." you say low and even. Sabini rolls his eyes and looks over at you.
"Who are you?" he asks you with a condescending tone.
"Genevieve Durand." you state, your face hard and serious. The man across from you makes a scoffing noise. Your eyes slide to him, your brows lowering in the process.
"YOU'RE Durand?" he asks, his tone in disbelief.
You tilt your head at him in response.
"Durand is a fuckin' woman? You had us taking orders from her? " he asks, shaking his head towards Sabini, looking back to another man standing behind them.
Sabini ignores him. "And what the fuck are you doing here Alfie?" he holds his arm out towards the man who sits a few feet to your right.
"Moral support." he says cleverly.
"You know her?" he moves his hand to you.
"Yes. I know Miss Durand." he says, the use of your name telling you he realized the dehumanization you were currently feeling in droves.
"If you continue speaking as if I'm not here there is going to be a problem." you state in a calm tone, your eyes moving to Sabini. He looks down his nose at you.
"Miss Durand has suffered a loss at your hand due to my poor choice in help with this job." Tommy cuts in before Sabini opens his mouth.
"Poor choice." Sabini spits out, resting and arm on the table. "You're lucky it was us who went in there, little thing like her tried to get into that fortress she'd have her neck snapped before she could raise her dress to hop the fence." he says incredulously to Tommy alone.
You see Arthur shift in his seat at his words. Your eyes shut in an attempt to not reach for your knife, although your fingers were subconsciously working your dress up your leg instinctually from your anger. Alfie sees your hands moving unnoticed to the other side of the table. He doesn't know if he could be more interested in where this was going if he tried.
"Tommy?" you say clearly and sweetly. His eyes are unsure but steady as they turn to you. "What's my favorite thing in the world?" you ask, your head turning towards him. He gives you a subtle smile. Sabini still wears the same daft look on his face.
"Your money." he confidently responds, looking back over to Sabini.
"Oui." you nod angrily, looking to Sabini yourself. "My money. You're fucking with my money." you shout the next words, your chin rising in anger. "Personne ne baise avec mon argent!" you say with a fire burning inside your gut.
"Nobody's fucking with your money, sweetheart." Sabini says in a loud and whiney voice.
"Her money?" the man in front of you scoffs yet again after you speak. Your eyes are wide open this time as you stare into him. You don't even blink. "Just like a woman to speak for what her husbands earned." he says condescendingly.
"It is my fucking money. Mine alone. I insist you speak to me with more respect or else I'll be forced to do something like, call you a fucking goombah." you spit venomously at him. Your fingers slip into the holes of the custom made knife and it's holster on your thigh.
"Now you gonna let her talk to us like that?" he motions his hand to Tommy.
"She is inclined to speak however and to whoever she wants." Tommy clarifies even though you don't need him to.
"Your boy should shut his fucking mouth before something bad happens." you say slowly. Your words are directed at Sabini but your eyes bore into the man across from you.
"Arnold, let's try and be respectful, shall we?" Sabini says in an entirely fake and unconvincing voice.
"I'm not gonna be respectful to a woman who speaks to me like that. Should've known she didn't have a husband, who could put up with this?" he retorts, leaning forward on the table towards you in a, to him, macho move. This would prove to be a mistake on his behalf.
"Were you in charge on the night in question?" you ask him. Your tone impressively steady.
"Yeah, I was, what's it to ya?" he asks, his nose scrunching up at you as he spoke.
"You've taken things from me. I should take things from you now." you hiss, your eyes moving across his face.
"I got nothing whats yours sweetheart." he says cockily, his head shaking as he spoke.
You reach out like a flash, grabbing his tie and bouncing his head off the table. Your brass knuckle handled knife stabbing his tie into the table. Your hand remains on the handle, you lean in to speak to the man, ignoring the gun pulled on you from Sabini's back up. Sabini has pushed his chair away. "Where is my FUCKING EGG!" you shout.
"The fuck you doing?" he shouts, the fear in his voice makes goosebumps break out over your skin in pleasure.
"I know what was in that fucking house and I know the Faberge egg is no longer in the house so WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?" you shout your last words again.
"Listen you fucking crazy-" he's starting to blubber.
"CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS VERY CAREFULLY!" your eyes wide, your brows high, your voice loud and booming so close to his face, your knee already on the edge of the table, ready to pounce. "Or they will be your last." you add, your crazed state of mind evident in the varying inflections of the few words, all punctuated with a villainous laugh.
"You gonna let her get away with acting like a fucking lunatic like this?" he looks desperately at the other men in the room both on his side and not. No one speaks against you. You see the hope fade from his face as the fear for his life rise. You let out a low, deep growl of a laugh.
"You should be fucking locked away, you fucking-" you feel it's time to end your suffering at the hand of the words of this man. You end the suffering for anyone who had ever had to hear a word uttered from his disgusting mouth.
You move so quickly in your rage. You yank the knife from the table, holding it as you project yourself across the table. You grab his shoulders, taking both him and the chair down with you as you land on top of him with your knees on his chest. You've pushed off the table hard enough to have moved you both a few feet back from where his chair had been. You hear his cries of pain and your teeth just grit tighter. No one in the room moves but you. Shock, excitement and confusion surge through the air. You punch him in the jaw repeatedly. You keep hitting him until he has few teeth left to defend himself with. After finding him weakened enough, his face now less recognizable. You shove your hands into his mouth, your nails digging into his tongue. The way his eyes go wide, his pupils blown out as he looks up at you, it all just adds to the moment. Killing was almost always personal in some way to you. You never killed without a reason. The blood from his rapid pulse makes him bleed in gushing waves as your knife cuts into the thick attached part of his tongue in the back of his mouth. You feel the blood hit your face and chest. He gurgles, chokes and cries beneath you, he faded and bled out surprisingly fast. You start to fade out of your animalistic mindset and gulp and wet your lips.
"You fucking animal!" Sabini shouts. You're sure he thinks whatever he is saying is very important but you block him out. Your ears ring slightly as if a bomb had gone off. You look at your chest and hands, lips frowning at the blood across your face and arms. You stand and move one leg so you're not straddling the man any longer. You turn to Sabini, your knife still in your hand.
"You took something from me so I took something from you. As far as I'm concerned, we're even. For now." you state calmly, your blood splattered body a strange juxtaposition with your words.
"You're fucking insane!" he shouts, his arms up in the air.
"Suck the entirety of my fucking cock, Sabini." you say, wiping the bloody blade off on his jacket as he looks as if he might gag. You hike up your dress and slide the knife back into its place on your thigh. You drop your dress and head towards the bar as Sabini and his men scoop up the body and leave hastily.
You hop up onto the bar to sit. Arthur is the first to rise from his seat. He lights a cigarette and hands it to you.
"It's like you know me, Arthur." you give him a tired smile.
"I do, luv." he says, his hand patting your knee. He'd seen your rage before. He'd helped you work out your rage on deserving people over the years. Truly another soul who had the ability to embrace that darkness that bubbled up like bile in your throats. Arthur moves to behind the bar but you've already leaned back and grabbed a bottle of whiskey, opening it and taking a drink from the bottle.
You take a sharp inhale and see John, his chair turned around, his legs spread out, hands in his lap, grinning at you. John had also seen your rage. It entertained him to no end. It surprised him still at times but that was part of the enjoyment for him.
"Fuckin' Italians." he says with his voice threatening to turn into a laugh as he reaches out to grab one of the glasses Arthur's put on the bar.
You see Arthur raise his hand and you three clink the bottles together lightly mumblin' "Fuckin' Italians." as you always did after fighting a member of said group. The first words either John or Arthur really remembered from you had turned into an inside joke amongst you three over the years. Tommy rolls his eyes at the display.
He was up and looking at the damage to the floor. "I'll pay for the floor, Tommy, that one's on me." you say, nodding to him as his eyes meet yours, he mirrors your gesture.
Your inense eyes move across the bar, landing on Alfie. In the midst of this, your brain called out, 'Poor, sweet Alfie' even though you knew this not to be the truth. You were hoping the brutal approach you'd heard of him taking would keep him from cutting all ties with a woman like you after witnessing that. Now that he'd seen what you do. But as you take a damp towel from Arthurs' hand from behind you, your eyes still locked on Alfie, you don't see any hint of running from him. If anything, he seemed even further planted as you looked at each other.
"I'm afraid I've failed entirely at behaving myself and for that I apologize for what you've seen me do here today." you say, your voice breathier than you intended. You were still a bit unexpectedly winded. You wipe your hands with the towel.
"What on earth for?" he says softly with an offense to your apology, approaching you. Your eyebrows raise as he shows no hesitation in moving right up next to you at the bar, sitting by your legs, looking up at you. Your eyes are back to their dark, doe-eyed selves as you blink down at him. "That was fucking brilliant." he grins. He took in your disheveled appearance. Some of your hair had fallen, the dark waves framing your collar bones with the curved neckline of your dress. The blood against your pale skin, dotting you like constellations in the night sky. "A woman telling a man to suck the entirety of her fucking cock, " he says with emphasis on your words being your own, "is something that I have not seen before." he nods, his brows knitted together at you in thought.
"No one ever expects the ugly words to come from such a pretty face now do they, Genny?" Arthur teases, referring to your usage of crass words in anger. "The woman's an artist." You can't help but smile at his words in combination with how Alfie was now looking at you. His eyes didn't leave you.
You don't hide your reaction to his words. "That she is." he says in an oddly proud tone, his head nodding. His voice slower and lower the more his eyes narrowed at you. "An artist who works in the mediums of sword and word with brutality and finesse?" he points a finger at you, his other hand still perched atop his cane. His eyes flick over to Tommy and back to you. "That's a rare skill set, innit? And from a woman who looks like a work of art herself?" you subtly reciprocate the enthusiastic expression he gives you.
"Always good to meet fans of my work." you say full of yourself. You grin down at him, your eyelids lowered just slightly, not hiding your still large pupils. He lets out a loud laugh, tapping his cane against the floor with his pleased face focused on yours.

I’m still in awe that I was able to travel to NYC a couple weeks ago. I’ve been dreaming of Manhattan since I was a little girl, and somehow I convinced my sister that we should do a weekend trip to the Big Apple. Our two days in NYC cost as much as a week on a Caribbean island, but I don’t care. It was soooo worth it.
I’m going to tell you the story of our weekend. Fair warning: it’s really long, but it’s worth it. For some weird reason, every time my sister and I travel together, something goes wrong. When we went to DC, we got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere at 2am and then had to turn around—postponing our trip by a few days. Thankfully, Peyton and I decided to fly to NYC instead of going on another road trip. We thought that would be a lot easier (we were wrong).
We had a rough start to our Saturday morning. Our alarm went off at 5am, we scarfed down bowls of frosted flakes, quickly got dressed, and then made our way outside. It was absolutely pouring, and it was cold. We shared my tiny umbrella and tried to stay as dry as we could as we walked the 10 minutes to the streetcar station at Bloor and Spadina. I had planned our route to Billy Bishop Airport, and I checked online every day for a week to see if the streetcars would be operational that morning. The websites said everything was running the way it should. However, when we got to the station, a notice was posted on the door telling us that the streetcar wasn’t running, and we’d have to wait for a shuttle bus (which could show up as early or as late as it wanted). Typical Brittani: I panicked. We only had 45 minutes to get to the airport, I had no idea when this bus was going to show up, and I reeeeaaally didn’t want to waste the money I’d saved for the trip on a cab. Luckily the bus showed up in a reasonable amount of time, and it dropped us off where another streetcar would pick us up. After another transfer, and then another, we finally hopped off the streetcar right out front of the airport. I’d never been to Billy Bishop before, and I guess the tunnel under the water is pretty cool. But damn, there are so many stairs to get back up to airport level. Thank god for escalators!
Thankfully there wasn’t a line at security. After we’d deposited our belongings and shoes in the little plastic bins, they waved us through and we were one step closer to New York! Billy Bishop is great, because in the “Porter Lounge” they have a refreshment area where you can take all the water, pop, coffee, tea, and juice that you want. Oh, and did I mention they also had a table covered in shortbread cookie packages? I think I grabbed eight and stuffed them in my bag (I lived off the shortbread in NYC). Soon they were calling for us to line up for our flight. I started squealing with excitement. We pulled out our passports, we got to our seats, and then it was time for takeoff. We were sitting on the city-side of the plane, so we got to see some pretty awesome views as we flew away from the 6.
We watched a bit of “Sing” on Peyton’s iPad, and then I bugged her until she turned off the movie and started playing the Hamilton soundtrack. We were going to New York; it only made sense to prepare for the show we were seeing that afternoon. I may or may not have started singing/rapping into a water bottle. It may or may not have been captured in a photograph.
The flight was pretty quick: 68 minutes from takeoff to landing. We got off the plane in Newark, New Jersey, and got kinda lost in the airport, but two middle-aged men who were on our flight helped us figure out where we were going. We bought two tickets on the New Jersey Transit (basically NJ’s GO system), hopped on a train, and made our way to Manhattan!
Penn Station was so friggin busy. We kinda just followed the flow of people until we saw signs of where we wanted to go. We ended up on 7th and Fashion Ave (Peyton pointed out after we got home that The Devil Wears Prada shows the same street signs… so cool!) As we’re walking down the street, we look up and see the Empire State Building peeking out from behind another skyscraper. It was 11am at this point and we were starving, so we stopped at the first food place we found: Wendy’s, across the street from the Empire State Building.
After satisfying our hunger, we headed back out in the cold and walked up 5th ave until we found the New York Public Library. Again, I squealed. Maybe that time it was more like a squeak. Either way, I was excited. The building was beautiful; old architecture always makes me happy. We popped inside for only a moment—I wanted to see the stairs where they filmed Carrie Bradshaw’s failed attempt at a wedding in Sex and the City. The security guard said we couldn’t take pictures until we’d paid to go inside, so being the sassy monster that I am, I snapped a photo of the marble staircase, said “Just took a photo,” and walked out the door. YOU CAN’T CONTROL ME, Mr. Security Guard!
Down the street from the library is Grand Central Station. Man oh man, it was massive. People always say that Union Station is just a smaller Grand Central, but I think it’s more of a miniature of Grand Central. There were over 100 train platforms. Union Station has at max. 26. The ceiling of Grand Central is painted with constellations, and it was beautiful. I think Peyton even snuck onto a train platform… see, I wasn’t the only rebel on that trip.
We also saw the Chrysler Building down the street from Grand Central, but we kinda didn’t care too much about it so we just looked at it from afar.
After Grand Central we saw the holiday windows at Lord and Taylor (kinda like the Bay windows in Toronto… except bigger), St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Saks Fifth Avenue! We popped into for just a few seconds, but the setup was beautiful. It looked like a winter wonderland, interspersed with really expensive makeup and handbags and shoes and ohmygod I could’ve spent a ton of time in there. But it was really hot, and we still had our coats on, so we left after about a minute.
  We kinda stumbled upon Rockefeller Center after we left Saks. It’s just across the street, actually. They were still setting up the massive Rockefeller tree behind a tall tower of scaffolding, but we saw parts of it. I can’t believe how big that tree is, and that it’s real! They must have to airlift that thing into the city. In pieces. I could tell Peyton really wanted to go skating at Rockefeller Center, but the line was huge and we were on the clock.
Down the street is Radio City Music Hall, and the NBC building (aka where The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon films). There was also some random food festival on 6th ave so the whole street was shut down. It was pretty cool though. After that, we had one destination in mind: Times Square. It’s so crazy. I swear, an epileptic wouldn’t be able to handle it; the amount of flashing lights and electric billboards is insane. And there were sooooo many people! Thank god we’re both okay in a crowd, because there was no personal space to be had.
By this time it was about 1pm, and so we made our way down the street to the Richard Rodgers Theatre to see HAMILTON! When we bought the tickets back in September, they were the last two seats in the house, and we were in the second last row in the Mezzanine. I had opera glasses in my bag just in case, but the view of the stage was actually really good from our seats.
Peyton and I stocked up on Hamilton merchandise (t-shirts for us both, a cup for Peyton, a shot glass for me), and then a sassy black usher (she called herself that) told the entire balcony section that the only bathroom in the theatre was 66 steps down the stairs in the basement. She said “you have been warned. Go before the show, or fight to get all the way down there before the rest of the theatre at intermission.” She then went on to say, “You may L-O-L, but you cannot text your BFF throughout the show. Turn the phones off.” She was great, and also, like 60, so that made it even better. The show started soon after that, and I was in heaven for the next 3 hours. I’d been waiting to see that show for so long, and my dream finally came true. Now I don’t have to fight against the massive hordes of people trying to get tickets for the Toronto run in 2019/2020. I saw it on Broadway!
After the show, the cast stayed onstage and explained the charities they were raising money for. All the Broadway shows were collecting donations for AIDS/HIV research, and they made a little competition between each show to see which cast come could up with the most. So, at that Hamilton show, they auctioned off a shadow box frame with a signed poster inside that the producers presented the cast on opening night. They started the bidding at $500. It sold for $3500. Could you imagine that? Going to the theatre, paying a ridiculous amount of money for the ticket, and then dropping another $3500 on a poster and frame? Whoa, I wish I could drop that kind of cash. Anyways, the cast was awesome, and I’m glad they could raise the money for a good cause.
As we left the theatre we found that it was pouring outside. We shared my tiny umbrella again and found our way up 7th Ave to our hotel on 57th. We were actually across the street from Carnegie Hall (and apparently a few doors down from the most expensive apartment building in New York City). I went up to the desk to check into the hotel, and the man told me that we’d been upgraded to a suite on the top floor. Apparently they’d oversold the hotel, and since we were only staying one night, it was easier to upgrade us then to upgrade anyone else. So there we were, on the 17th floor, occupying a 2 room suite with a massive bathroom and a kitchenette. No complaints here! At that point, the room was actually worth the amount I paid.
It was about 5:45pm so Peyton and I dropped off our big backpacks, changed into our nice clothes and our high heels, and then headed back out in the rain. We wanted to eat at this cool diner near the Gershwin Theatre, but the line to get in was around the block, so we ended up eating at a McDonalds across the street. Two classy-looking girls in the back corner of a Mcdicks restaurant… Yeah, that was loads of fun.
After we’d eaten, we walked across the street and into the Gershwin. It’s more of a modern theatre than the Richard Rodgers, but it was still incredible to be in the theatre where Wicked was born. We sat down in our second-row seats (yeah, we went from second last row for Hamilton to second row for Wicked) and soaked in all the amazing feels from being on Broadway.  The show started, Peyton and I were blown away, and even though it was the fifth time we’ve seen the show, it was by far the best. The Glinda actress was so ditzy (she played the character really well), and the Elphie actress was throwing out notes that I’m pretty sure Idina Menzel doesn’t even know exist. After the show, the cast did the same charity announcement, and they auctioned off a costume piece for $500.
When we left we saw that the rain had finally stopped, so Peyton and I went back to the hotel, changed into our boots and normal clothes again, and then wandered to Times Square. We just had to see what it was like at night. It was just as busy, if not busier, but it was very cool to see.
We made it back to the hotel around 12:30am, and we crashed hard. I think I fell asleep in under a minute. In my own bed. In the suite. In NYC. I slept so well that night 🙂

Let’s Hear It For New York (Part 1) I’m still in awe that I was able to travel to NYC a couple weeks ago. I’ve been dreaming of Manhattan since I was a little girl, and somehow I convinced my sister that we should do a weekend trip to the Big Apple.

The profession of window cleaning is the result of a synergistic relationship between two separate innovations of human civilization: Glass making and building construction. Both of which are the product of rich, long histories in their own right. To provide the context for this article, extremely brief overviews are given to set the stage and are by no mean intended to be complete.
Ancient origins
Glass has long been a material used in human culture. Deep mysteries surround exactly which ancient culture became the first to combine sand, soda-line and ashes in high temperature to become glass. The ancient Roman historian Pliny suggested that Phoenician merchants first made glass in the region of Syria around 5000 BC. Archaeological evidence indicates the first man-made glass originated in Mesopotamia around 3500BC, although glass-making origins are also demonstrated in Egypt around the same period and is likely a result of the trading network between the two cultures.
The collapse of the Roman empire saw a decline in glass manufacturing techniques which did not really pick up again until the 13th century. The type of glass we see every day in windows and storefronts is called sheet glass and on March 25, 1902, Irving W Colburn patented the sheet glass drawing machine, making the mass production of glass for windows possible.
The first building to feature a glass curtain wall was Oriel Chambers in Liverpool, built in 1864, it was framed in iron and was five storeys tall. This innovation led to further developments, shifting away from load bearing masonry to a steel skeleton which supports the weight of the structure. The Home Insurance Building in Chicago at 138 ft and ten storeys was built in 1885 and is the world's first skyscraper to use this technology. Less than fifty years later, the tallest building in the world, The Empire State Building was a stunning 1250 feet, 102 storeys with and has 6514 windows.
Up in the sky
Workers of the trade are often by necessity required to be trouble shooters and innovators in their own right. As buildings continued to get taller, The challenge of safely cleaning the windows became an issue. Lugs or eye bolts were embedded in the building on each side of a window, cleaners then wore a belt similar to those used by electrical linemen and would climb out of the window and attach each end of the belt to the hooks. The window cleaner would lean back against the belt with his toes on ledges only a few inches wide and clean the window. Incredibly labour intensive and requiring large crews to complete the work, this method was quickly abandoned as rope descent systems began to appear.
Although abseiling, a technique used by mountain climbers dates back to 1876, the use and promotion of descenders for window cleaning was a by-product of the Vietnam War. Using a combination of ropes and descending equipment, a platoon could quickly and safely exit a helicopter to reach the ground below. Vets returning from Viet Nam who used these systems adapted them to the window cleaning industry.
Just as advancements in technology allowed for more efficient glass production and building construction, working from heights continues to get safer as well. Innovations in the industry including the bosun's chair, descent & ascent systems, parapet clamps, swing stages, aerial lifts and water-fed poles contribute to a safer work environment. Also, regulatory bodies such as WCB develop safe work standards and oversee the industry while industry specific societies such as SPRAT provide recognized training and accreditation.
Tools of the trade
The origin of the squeegee dates back to the middle ages as a tool made of wood called a "squilgee" was used by fishermen to scrape fish guts from the boat decks. The first modern squeegee, the "Chicago Squeegee" was a heavy and cumbersome tool that featured two stiff blades fastened with 12 screws to hold it all together. This design was further improved by Italian immigrant Ettore Steccone who invented a lightweight, brass tool with a single, flexible rubber blade dubbed "The New Deal". This design is so efficient that it has remained basically unchanged since its inception in 1936.
Not just a window cleaning tool, the brass-handled Ettore squeegee saved the lives of five men trapped in an elevator during the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. Quick thinking window washer Jan Demczur pried open the elevator doors and used his squeegee to cut through the drywall of an elevator shaft stuck on the 50th floor, fleeing from the building five minutes before it came to the ground.
One of the more recent innovations is the telescopic, water-fed pole which allows the worker to safely clean windows up to 60 feet in height from the ground. This system is ideal for low-rise buildings which typically do not feature roof anchor systems. Advancements in technology such as carbon-fibre and water-purification systems enhance the output of this tool, making it a formidable addition to the window cleaners toolkit.
Another product emerging on the market are automatic window washing systems. Working similar to a robotic vacuum, these systems travel up and down the side of a building. An interesting idea, these devices seem to be limited in capacity to buildings with minimal architectural features, and have a long way to go before replacing their human counterparts.
What does the future of window cleaning look like?
The window cleaning industry has firm roots in problem solving and troubleshooting. Even to this day with all the advances in technology and engineering, window cleaning is still at times an afterthought, a problem left to the professionals of the trade to figure out. It is this environment that fosters the high level of ingenuity responsible for innovations in the industry. Consider the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa. Completed in 2010, standing 2723 feet in height, it features 24,348 windows totalling 1.3 million square feet of glass! It is an understatement to say that Burj Kalifa represents the state-of-the-art in building design.
Access for the tower's exterior is provided by 18 permanently installed track and fixed telescopic maintenance units weighing up to 13 tons each. The units are stored in garages within the structure and are not visible when not in use. Manned by a 36 person crew who wear protective clothing resembling moon suits to shield them from the intense heat which can reach in excess of 50˚C these daring cleaners still use traditional soap and squeegees to carry out their work.
Already plans are underway for a tower that will put Burj Khalifa in its shadow. With a planned minimum height of 3280 feet, the Kingdom tower will be about 50 storeys taller than its rival. As human ingenuity and innovation continue to push the boundaries of architecture to new heights, so too does the window cleaner meet the challenge of an ever evolving profession. Quality window cleaning tools are a must. Visit http://windowwashing.co.za/window-cleaning-equipment-south-africa/ for all the latest equipment to make your job shine!
