I've sensed most garbagemen glower at us "straight job types" when I drive by them- seems almost like a racial thing (which it often might be, actually....)
Then again, Ive gotten a benevolent wave from a few in the last few months, after years of observing this cold-shoulder, so who knows?
ps- If I had to clean out everybody's fuckin garbage cans for 8 hours a day, I'd probably glower at straight job types, too.
man that girl sounds like a biatch....its hard though...people so easily misinterpret what we're really trying to say...then we end up making rash decisions...i have an amazing capacity to over react...i am the true believer in reading between the lines when it comes to text messages....i think i enjoy the drama..ha...
its just too hard to let down the walls these days i think....i've been single 4 years now and i have met a total of 2 guys worthy of having a relationship with....1 moved to england just after we met...the other has a girlfriend....
I have never said "i love you" to any boyfriend....i've had those uncomfortable moments when they say it to me...but....i truly believe...when i find the one i know i will not separate from till i die...then and only then will i say it....some say i may be waiting a while but...its a risk i'm will to take...
Yeah, I knew they potentially made good money cuz I used to listen to Stern a lot and he had a regular (by the handle of, ahem, "King of All Blacks") who was a garbagemen with... some sort of leadership position (he was the "leader" of a truck, I guess; I don't know what that position would be called... "truck manager"). He mentioned his salary, and his vacation time (naturally it was good, since he always seemed to be dropping in the studio at his leisure), so yeah, I know they can make out very well.
Knowing what I do about how trashy people are with their trash, how nasty and such, just in the library alone, I don't begrudge garbagement any benefits or high salaries.
I think your the definate winner of the best line i've heard for my birthday...."almost cool enough to be 30"... makes one feel much better....
Its nice to also find someone who has as you say....locked the l word away....too many people use it like its meaning is lost....i just hope i do get to give it to someone someday...and that he or she is the right one....
My last sentence wasn't directed at you- it was just generally directed at anyone who'd think (say) doctors and teachers deserve a lot more than garbagemen.... well, those two have higher student-loan bills, probably, but as far as service to society goes: I don't need much more education (hopefully none); I haven't (luckily) needed an operation any time lately; I do need my garbage taken out every single week, without fail, for the rest of my life. That is all I mean.
makes one feel much better....
