Are you Dodging my question?

I have been getting a substantial amount of earwax lately to the point that it's literaly falling out of my freaking ear. Hope I don't develop an Eric. Oh no, Gagne with a spoon!

Ever notice that contractors. . .

I'm working with a cement contractor and a landscaper. Fortunately, it hasn't rained too much here because I'm told that whenever it does rain, they cannot perform their work, and that further strains their schedule because of the backup of assignments. Strange, that they are so dependent on the rain forecast since the successful outcome of their "work" is essentially dependent on the rain.

I have this fixation with trash...

This being a holiday week I took the trash out one day later than I normally would. For as long as I can remember this has been the appropriate thing to do during a holiday week. This of course raises the obvious question of "how does my garbage man benefit from a holiday?".

Let's call my garbage man Tom. Tom enjoyed his Memorial Day holiday watching the Cub game on TV. On Tuesday, Tom picks up all of the garbage he would have otherwise picked up on Monday. On Wednesday, he picks up Tuesday's trash and so on through the week. So what happens at the end of the week? Does Tom pick up Friday's trash on Saturday? Would Saturday normally be a day off? If so, why not work on the holiday so Tom can enjoy his usual day off on Saturday?

Does anyone have trash day on Friday? Maybe Friday people just don't get their trash picked up at all during a holiday week. Or maybe they add a few extra houses at the end of the day each day to make up for the lost productivity at the beginning of the week. But who are those people that get added at the end of the day? And how does a customer know he's one of the "late in the same day" customers versus a "next day" customer?

Tomorrow's topic: Do I really over-analyze things?

What ever happened to Vanilla Ice?

I heard that the Ice man was going to be on some reality TV show. Amazing that he made a career off of that one song and wild personality. Only in America. Next thing we'll hear that some guy with a big 'fro who's a fight promoter will end up King.
