~No Lid on The Can...AGAIN~

After I posted last nites blog I went into the kitchen, looked out
my window, and I could see part of my garbage can sticking out
from the garage. The lid was NOT on it AGAIN. It may have been
stuffed inside I couldn't see if it was or not. It was already after
5 so I knew the office would more than likely be closed. So I
waited until 9 this morning to call the office of Michiana Recycling
and tell them for the 5th as in FIFTH time..that the garbage man
did NOT put the lid back on my garbage can AGAIN.. I explained
to her that the last time I called they deliberately jammed the lid
inside the can so hard Penny had a very hard time to pull it out.
She informed me the man had been with the company 8 years
and said he DOES put the lid on.. So ONE of us is lying.Im not.

I also explained the fact that I cannot go out there and put the lid
back on and that I only have a care giver here 3 days a week and
it was NOT her JOB to put the lid back on my can. That was their
job.. She asked repeatedly if I wanted to cancel service, which I
probly should have as I know whom ever this driver is will get
smart just like he did last time when he jammed the lid inside it.
I told her that if she wanted me to pay my bill then she can come
here or the driver and put the lid back on my can where they had
taken it off of.. I also informed her that I was taping the conversation
and that If I had to call again that if this happened I would consult
legal advice for this negligence and disregard for my health since
this was VERY upsetting to me that I had informed her of the fact
that I had heart problems and was in a wheel chair..all thru the
whole conversation.. I also informed her that I would be writing
this blog tonite and I Hope the meta crawlers pick up on their
name and whomever may be considering using their services
would read what I have to say and if they decide to use them to
be prepared to put their own lid back on their garbage cans..

I got a phone call from a friend while I was still in a snit about this
and they informed me that that happens to them most of the time
and they just go out and put the lid back on no biggie..Or if it
was something more drastic.meet the garbage man offer him
some money and hopefully from then on he will do a better job.
Well then the guy is getting paid twice for doing ONE job.. I
didn't agree..Hes getting paid..then he needs to do his job, and
that includes putting the lid back on my garbage can.. I talked
to Dawn that is a supervisor there that repeatedly informed me
that she was NOT calling me a liar about my lid but the driver
assured her the lid WAS and HAS been put back on the can,
and that in 8 years no one else has called to complain about
this driver..Well then someone is the liar here..we both cant
be lying..and I KNOW im NOT.. This is not a major thing to most
just a tiny minute thing..as well "so what" but if someone is
going to do a job..then do it..and do it right..For me this is an
upsetting thing.. to see that lid not on the can, water or snow
getting into it.. and I CANT go out there and fix it..THAT is a
big major difference. IF I could go out there and do it I probly
maybe would..BUT I would STILL call the company and I
would complain..They need to do their jobs..

THat is the same thing for me.. I have a new job now, to learn
to live in a chair..Im doing the very best I can..and If I do a good
job at this..I can make it thru and hopefully by doing a good job
it wont be so hard.. Im getting paid for it.. Im still breathing..and
I can still smile, and laff and still say I am GORGEOUS.. and
DONT call me a fibber on that one either :-D Doing a good job
gets easier the more you do it the RIGHT way and the way its
supposed to be done..and hopefully you will benefit from it,
no matter what form the pay is in...money or living ...

I have not eaten all day..and I close every one of my posts just
about, writing about food..hmmm...wonder what that means?
I like food I hope lol.. As much as I like it though you would
think I would weigh 900 pounds.. I guess I don't is because I
don't really eat a lot of fattening stuff or candy or sweets.. I do
get my doughnuts and I did eat a whole pumpkin pie last week
ALL by myself.. well.... I didn't eat any other sweets the rest of
that week though..so I was good. But food is a good thing,
and its one thing everyone knows and does care about..:-)
I don't know what I am going to fix, they did bring lunch but it
looks awful and it came with carrots..and I don't need to say
about those things.. I know when I go out into my kitchen I
wont be fixing them :-) But before I can go and eat I have to
write my famous GORGEOUS weeble words "nitey nite"...

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..

    I do not put trash or recycling to the curb in cans. I use those heavy plastic bags and the dept of sanitation men appreciate that because it speeds them up.

    Then What do we do with the can Joe? lol...

    Hi Mary, Glad to hear about Pam. Ive never been to pal talk..Ive heard of it though.. Sposta be nice here for a change too.

    Penny called in sick so I will be on my own now till monday,kind of a long stretch but oh well..do what I can..

    We have to put our trash in bags, in bags, and In cans.. They wont take it if its just dumped in. It has to be bagged. They are just in a hurry and throw the lids is the problem and no one ever complains and just goes and puts their lids back on , If everyone did complain sure would make them do their jobs.. They get paid to do it..they should.

    Good to hear from you!~! Have a nice day :-)
    Always, Lois ****
