That’s so awesome, Dragoness. Getting rid of that type of stress just makes the rest of your life so much easier!

Well he is a garbage man (driving the trucks), but it pays really well. He will get benefits, retirement, vacation, sick leave. And I guess at their company party they have a chance to win money around $1000 and win a prizes like big screen TVs.
Thanks again guys.
I can breathe a lot more now. Whew.Not to mention, it’s a very important job!!! Where would we be without garbagemen?? 😯 Which kind of truck does he drive? The kind where other guys are working with him, loading the truck or the kind with the mechanical side arm that dumps the garbage pails? My son was fascinated by garbage trucks for years. My Dad used follow the trucks so he could watch them when he was little. His favorite video for years was “There Goes A Garbage Truck” and at kindergarten graduation he annouced that he was going to be a garbageman when he grew up. Who knows, he still might!!! It’s good, steady work. 😉

I was hesitant to post that he was a garbage man. haha. It reminds me of that episode of Frasier where Roz was dating a garbage man and she was imbaressed that she was dating one. Right now he is driving a roll off truck. He is collecting the large dumpters from places that rent them out. That is the smallest size of loads he has to do. There is a middle load and then there is the highest load where he goes around to neighborhoods and collects the big garbage cans. I guess you start with the smallest loads and then if you do well with that then you move on up. He is working with a trainer for the first week and then he gets to go by himself. His trainer wrote yesterday on his evulation that he did a excellent job. 😀
That is cool that your son is/was fasinated with garbage trucks. What made him so fasinated?Being a garbageman entails a lot of responsibility. Its a tough job; you have to keep working rain or shine (or snow) and no matter how much you have to pick up, you have to complete your entire route. You can’t stop because the truck is full and save the rest of your route for tomorrow. Does he work long hours?
My son was fascinated by big trucks from the moment he was born and what’s bigger and more fascinating than a garbage truck. He used to run to our living room window when he heard them coming and the guys would wave to him. Now that he’s older (he’s 14), he doesn’t watch them as much, but he still has his collection of toy garbage trucks and adds to it whenever he sees a new one. There are some on the internet that sell for $100 or more. 😯 He does not have any of those!! 😆
Nothing wrong with being a garbage man, girl. 😉 He has a JOB and that is more than alot of people and its respectable.
I used to date a guy that did what your bf is doing…he called it “delivering containers”. 😆 I went with him a few times and even got to go to the huge dump in the Meadowlands. It was pretty cool, really.
Our regular garbage men have it sweet in some respects….work 4 hours, get paid for 8…wreck trash cans….stuff like that. 🙄
They do love to throw those trash cans around, don’t they!!! 😆 Every now and then, you get one who very nicely puts it back on the driveway, but most of the time they’re laying halfway in the street. 😆
That’s one of the jobs people seem to scorn, yet there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it! Yeah, without the garbage trucks, we’re screwed! I thought of Frasier too 😆
What I didn’t know was that it paid well; it can be thankless, so it’s good they get good compensation.
Congrats to him!
