Trash Day

It’s trash day in my neighborhood!

Sanitation Worker: All this gripping really messes with your hands, man.

Me: I believe it. How long you been doing this?

Sanitation Worker: Sheeeeeit. Too long. Four years?

Me: That’s a long time for such a hard job.

Sanitation Worker: After the first month of working here, I woke up with my hand cramping so much I couldn’t move it. I almost went to the hospital before I remembered my boss told me all kinds of things were gonna hurt that I never thought could hurt before.

Me: That’s a hard job.

Sanitation Worker: Really fuckin hard, man.

Me: You guys are union right?

Sanitation Worker: Yeah

Me: 33*?

Sanitation Worker: Yeah, how’d you know?

Me: I’m 33, too.

Sanitation Worker: Shit, who you work for?

Me: Library.

Sanitation Worker: The one around the corner?

Me: Nah, I’m at Central.

Sanitation Worker: Shit, I think I owe y’all some money.

Me: I get that a lot.
