" scrathc: I hear ya. What's up with that, Waste Control? What's an extra day in the driveway? ---- I was hoping I didnt have to take the garbage can to the end of the driveway tonight, but I guess that plan is all shot to hell. "

" As much as I hate that too, if they take a day off, it throws the entire schedule off. It would be worse for them to have to double up on another day to catch up. However, I believe they do much earlier pickups on Thanksgiving and Christmas day, so the drivers can get home to their families much earlier. "

" I think we all need to be thankful for all of those that we often take for granted that work holidays, our fire, law enforcement and ambulance folks. They are there for us 24/7. "

" For what it's worth, any of you folks ever work in say, retail grocery this time of year. Let's just say this, the day goes fast. Also, I do appreciate the garbage man. Especially when they dump a can that some yahoo overfilled and half of it hits the pavement. That's gotta suck having to pick up all the crap people throw in the can. "
