7. Howie. He was born an American and is close to retirement age. He passed a background check like everybody in my office. I should ask him about his kids - he is new on the job; I know about the daughter of the guy who did it previously.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean my home? I can't get trash service at home, so I am my own trash man.
You rock!
DeleteDanny is the trash packer driver for the shop. If I hear him I run outside to greet him. He's a old guy with no teeth, and in the summer I buy him sweet tea, and gave him a mountain bike for his grandson. His wife recently divorced him so now he has to work past regular retirement age. I try to get family and friends to fill up the dumpster, since it still amazes me that every Wednesday at 800 it is ready to fill again. WasteManagment.

ReplyDeleteYou missed the mailman. Tony is ours, so I asked which business gets the most mail in our area? He confirmed my suspicion, on who, but, I would have never guessed that their volume is multiple times more by far than anyone else.
