*TERRIFYING*
I am watching out my window at the building next door, and there are the window washers on those pulley-scaffolds on the 24th floor...it is freezing cold and windy....and those guys are just totally nonchalant...those things have one bar or handrail around them and that is it!

even more terrifying are these guys from 1933!

I could never do that...it reminds of the old time -construction workers you used to see walking on girders or having lunch in old pictures...

how can people be so relaxed/nonchalant about it?!?!?!
I am terrified of heights, but only in certain instances...i am totally fine lookingo ut the window of my apartment in the high teens, and i love going up to the roof to look out on the city (46th floor) but i cannot get too close to the wall and look down off the roof...
but to be that non-plussed as those guys, i cannot imagine!
anyone else feel that way? could you handle that job? (the old school construction or window washer guys, or the guys on the scaffolds today)
i could not handle it...no way....which is strange since i went parasailing many times when i was young and it did not bother me at all (i guess since i had a parachute)
