Talking Trash

I haven't mentioned it before, but I work for a trash company. When I first interviewed with them, it was more for the experience than anything else. The pay is good, but the thought of working for the trash company was not that appealing.

As it turns out, it's pretty darn interesting. There are a lot more items involved in getting the trash picked up than you would think. Between making sure the drivers show up, the trucks are in running condition, and there is gas in the tank, everything must be planned for.

I truly enjoy my job. I deal with customers, collect money, pay the bills, and make sure we are charging enough for our service. The responsibility is stressful, but at the end of the day the trash is picked up and we make a profit.

That's a good day's work.
