    I had a co-worker that was married to a Garbage man. Back when everyone was elated to get 12.50 and hour at their job, her husband was making 32.00 per hour driving the truck. I imagine the pay rate has gone up since then.

    It is a good paying job, sometimes a government job working for the city, with good benefits. You start early, but your day might end early as well. You stay in shape! You're not stuck behind a desk! You usually have weekends off!

    I love the locking out part. :D I hate the stories of parents (most often fathers) who are acting like their child (most often a daughter) getting a partner is in any way not welcomed.

    I don’t blame her for watching the garbage men – they’re in pretty good shape. I’ve seen a few pick women work at picking up garbage, and I am in awe of their strength and stamina.

    There is a saying "One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure". Well it would seem that your Dad found his treasure in the trash,☺ Such a sweet and beautiful story.

    I honestly thought she was going to be a drunk or a homeless person asleep in some trash and he woke her up and lifted her out of the trash with a manly lift and their eyes met and their nostrils flared with the stench of rotting food as they fall madly in love. Nice story anyway.
