What we have here....

... is a failure to communicate.

Once in a while I see something that strikes me as rather contrary to common sense. This is one of those things.

On August 8th and 9th we had the windows cleaned in the building where I work. Specialists, with with all the equipment needed to clean the outside of a four storey building, were hired and paid on contract.

On August 17th, another set of contractors showed up and began the task of replacing all the windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors with seismically-graded glass.

Now I ask you: if you were having your car towed for scrap, would you pay someone to wash and wax it?
