Sometimes you do not realize how good you have IT until you spend a few days without IT; or in this case doing IT. When it comes down to IT there are four things necessary to keep us happy and healthy, S.W.E.T; a Sewer system, Water, Electricity, and a Trash plan. In the last few days I have been up to my knees in IT, well...two of IT to be exact...you guested it, Sewer and Trash. Okay...maybe up to my knees is a stretch but nonetheless I have been dealing with them. After a brief investigation is seems the trash truck has failed to sufficiently dump the trash into the "burn pit" but rather they leave the garbage neatly piled on the edge of the pit. The combination of the "trash guys" in ability to follow directions, and the recent 30 mph winds has spread garbage across our area. It looks like every rock, stick and dried shrub has a piece of trash clinging to it. And with the slightest breeze the trash appears to be hanging-on to its new friend in hopes that it will somehow be rescued from its inevitable burial. How long does it take plastic to bio-degrade?? Oh yea...never! To add excitement to my life I heard the Sewer water is being dumped only a few hundred yards from some of our buildings. Great...by the time this is over I should be able to add "Educated Environmentalist" to my resume. Tomorrow should bring a few interesting conversations with the local contractors.
