Dear Sanitation Engineers;

I appreciate that you do a job that no one else wants to do. Granted, the working conditions now, I'm sure, are far superior to those of garbagemen from past years, I'm sure it's still a pretty crappy job (especially in Texas in the summer. I'd be willing to bet that the smell of hot garbage is pretty hard to get off of your person).

I wonder if you could possibly find it in yourselves, though, to not begin the trash pickup in my neighborhood at such an early hour. For one thing, when that loud ass truck is rumbling down my street forty minutes before my alarm goes off, it wakes up me and my dogs and then no one can get back to sleep. For another thing, my trash can isn't out at 6:40 in the morning, I take it out at 8:00 when the munchkin and I are on our way to school.

So, seriously, sleep in a little next time, would ya?

Thanks,

me
