My rage with incompetency has already shifted today

Apr 2, 2024, 11:20 AM

from IT sales people calling me that I tell I have no power to sell, approve or even suggest their product for purchase that ask me "will it help if I call back in 2 weeks?", to the woman driving the recycle bin pick up truck.

I forgot to put my recycle bin out for pick up today. My fault completely. I heard the truck go by--I just missed it.

So I hop in my truck, and drive the 500' down the street to stop the truck and ask the driver if she can pick up my recycles because it's packed full and I missed the pick up. Somehow she wants me to take my recycle bin somewhere and meet her on another street, that she doesn't know the name of. She won't turn around or back up or come down the street again; I guess that's impossible. She just keeps telling me its "not her route" and she's never been here before.

So now I have a full recycle bin for 2 more weeks.

and at the speed she was going, had I been able to do that, she still would have been out of the neighborhood by then.

When she said to meet her on another street I was thinking "how the eff am I going to do that?"

Golf cart battery is dead..besides, I'm not sure that makes it any easier even if it was running. And I'd have to move my wife's car to get it out of the garage..so again...more time.

There were two "easiest things":

1) Me to not forget the recycles came every other tuesday, and today is that tuesday, or

2) Her to turn around at the end of the street, drive back by my house and pick up my bin. Or stop by my house on the way out of the hood. There are 2 entries/exits in/out of my hood. I live on the only cross street between two of those exits.

One of those easiest things involves going back in time, and that is impossible, AFAIK.

The other involves turning a truck in a 360 degree circle and driving 700'.

So I guess it will help if she comes back in two weeks.***

I'll put the bin on the street on Sunday so i don't forget again.

It all ends up in the same place anyway***

Serially, we pay extra for yard waste

I think someone actually proved that in CHS a few years ago.***

Wait, you drove down there and asked her to come back for the

I'm not picking up a full roller bin and putting it in the back of my truck.

I'd like to make a suggestion, if you'll allow me.

And its mostly cardboard.

Empty boxes were taking over our house at one point

You burn waste in a trashcan?

I burn boxes in it, absolutely. I'm not on a 1/5 acre lot in a cookie cutter

Essentially its really just another trash bin to place all the amazon boxes***

See, if you owned instead of rented

You mean "BURN everything", right?

Then put the embers out

*cess pool***

I put a pretty good sized toaster oven in my regular trashcan this morning.

I'd put that on the curb. They'll pick it up with this huge front end loader

Sounds like you have a shiddy job***

Well you aren't necessarily wrong, but I have no idea what this has to do with

Oh I get it..you mean about not having the power to buy anything?
