Bin stress
posted in Uncategorized |
I am unsure why, but after almost a decade of dealing with our local garbage pickup I still manage to get it wrong. Or not. I actually do get it right most of the time but I still have great incertitude. Actually, it was pointed out to me that we have pretty much always got it right. It’s just me that remains unsure of my own actions. Last week I brought the bin to the road and wait it all afternoon and on into darkness. And the big truck never came. At that point I started to wonder did I misread the calendar? Was I late by even 5 minutes in getting to the road? Had the driver driver gone by leaving me with all my stuff? I decided to wait for another week. This time around I had a really full bin and I really wanted to work so I put it out the night before. Obviously the driver would not get there that early. And then I waited. Either the truck would come or the truck would not. I would then have to decide what to do if I had more than enough junk. Happily, the truck is just gone by and I can re calibrate my fears. Yes the calendar does match with the circuit. Yes I now have a large empty bin that should take me through another two weeks of daily living. All good. I actually missed the good old days in the big city when the truck came once a week and took everything at once. Hard to mess that one up period now in spite of living without a schedule they keep me on track I have to know whether or not this is a green week or a black week. I have to know what day of the week. I have to watch for civil holidays. So much stress.
