Also, speaking of garbage men....... I could use some advice.....

I started purging back in October. Like a deep purge. All the broken and discarded crap left behind by my ex, plus the stuff I no longer want in my house that doesn't serve a purpose. Including the garage, which was so filled with junk that I couldn't park in it and now has room for two cars! Anything that wasn't donateable went in the trash and recycle. My curb has looked like the Clampett's lived there every week for the past couple months. I keep thinking this will be the day that the garbagemen get angry and break/toss my cans because they're sick of me, but they haven't. They've placed them upside down and orderly back on the curb. They've taken every oversized thing I've put out there, too, instead of just telling me to schedule a bulk pickup.

I don't deserve them. I'm so incredibly grateful for them. And I'd like to thank them. How does one go about thanking garbage collectors? I thought about leaving them something, but then wasn't sure if they'd assume it was trash.

Make sure you know that these guys are doing this on their own. If you call and tell management that these guys are ignoring company rules for pickup you may be getting them in trouble. There are many reasons for this that I won't get into right now, but, if the policy is to not do what they have been doing. It will have the opposite result from what you intended. The only way to really show your gratitude is to get them a gift certificate or cash and meet them at the pickup point and give them whatever and tell them how much you appreciate how they have taken care of you.

It is a sad thing, but, corporate America is not always commendable and working in the best interest of the public or their employees. You could put the gift in a Thank You card and hand it to them or just attach it to your stuff if it can be done and put in an obvious place where it will not be missed. Best bet is to personally hand it to them. Also make sure that it is the same crew all the time otherwise you may be rewarding someone that had nothing to do with it.

And, just for grins, pics of some of the dusty old physical scale models layin’ around the office that our firm used to make before SketchUp (the 3-D modeling computer program) came along...! :)

How cool! My 2 youngest would have loved to have one of those. They are always building cardboard houses and making rooms in them. I am guessing it took loads of time to make those and if a client didn’t like one aspect someone would have to make a new one. Bet the computer program is a blessing.
