Sounds like the name of a childrens book, doesn't it? I only wish it was...........
The trash at work is getting out of hand. You see the trash company and our business kind of went round and round and bottom line is: they pulled their dumpster almost 2 months ago!! No problem you say, just get another company!! Believe me I have tried!! I've checked into rolloffs which are extremely expensive - I've checked into another company who won't have dumpsters till Oct. - and I've called another company who also isn't willing to work with us. When they find out we deal with granite, it's a NO GO, even though we tell them we won't be putting granite in the dumpster, only trash!!
Bottom line is we are STILL waiting to get a dumpster from a company who claims they WILL have them in another week or so - we shall see.............But in the meantime, all the trash has been put in this outside shed and it piled up to the point that it was smelling really bad when you walked by the shed - so the guys put it on the trailer (which is also full of tear out material from installs) and covered it with the heavy stuff. The trailer was SUPPOSED to be dumped before Glenn went to hunt - it didn't happen!!!
Tuesday morning one of the guys went out back to dump some granite scraps and this is what they found!!
Oh yes, a bear or bears had gotten into it - not the bears' fault, strictly ours because at this point in the fall, the bears are extremely hungry and stocking up for the long hibernation - and our trash was a prime place to root around!!
So guess who got the lovely job of cleaning it up - yup - it was yours truly as the guys were so busy they didn't have the time!! I donned rubber gloves and headed out - I think they had clawed through and ripped every bag in there, probably to the tune of 20 white garbage sacks and a couple of big black ones. Not only is this the trash from work, but from home!! So you can imagine 2 months of smelly, yucky, gross food that was once in the trash. It was all wet from the rain - it was literally disgusting...........
15 heavy duty black garbage bags later, I was DONE!!! There was NO QUESTION in my mind that the trailer had to be dumped yesterday because everyone knew the bears would be back for another go at it!!
Luckily I can blog about it now and smile - but I sure wasn't smiling yesterday!!!
