WillThink4Wine — I would not object to a delayed haiku. Come back tomorrow and serve one up after you’re well-rested, will ya?

tfa — Ha! I don’t think we had any seriously rotting food in there. Probably a combination of uneaten cat food and cat “deposits.” Um. Can I blame it all on my cats? Yeah, let’s do that.

Oh, dear. Having 2 cats myself, I wholehearedly join you in a resounding "Amen"! Now normally I would write you a haiku, but I've been thinking all day and I'm all done with that for now! WillThink4Wine's last blog post..Randy Pausch has given his last lecture

Karen — I can think of a number of jobs like this where people tend to only notice the work if it stops. A shame.

TheSnackHound — OMG. I can’t watch Dirty Jobs. I try, but I can’t. I love your firefighter/zookeeper/ballerina description. It’s perfect! And, really, who has a job of any kind that’s truly glamorous? I know mine’s not. Thanks for dropping by!

I'm wondering if there are legions of 5-8 year olds out there watching Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel right at this moment, who decide that they want to be garbage haulers or sewer cleaners when they grow up. Maybe to us, working for a sanitation company isn't very glamorous but maybe we are just old fuddy duddies (even if some of us are in our 20s and 30) and don't recognize that it may just be "THE" choice of 5 year olds everywhere. Its this generations combination "firefighter/zoopkeeper/ballerina" job that many of us had chosen as our career path when we were 5 that day long ago. They could be generation "P.U."

Great post! Three cheers for trash haulers–hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray! This is an extremely important job but definitely one that gets little thanks. I need to add this to my list of things I’m thankful for!

Poetikat — Maybe I should write my blog URL real big on the trash bins? Or, I could just mail it to them with all the comments? Ours is a 3-cat household, which is PLENTY. I’m mostly in charge of cleaning them. I feel your pain.

Kelly — I’m going to tip them myself, too. It’ll probably freak them out. I bet they don’t get many tips.

Olga — That just goes to show they’ll take anything! Thank you for the update. I was wondering about the poor little guy.

Jimmy Choo — Oh, cripes. I thought you said he ate a fillet of fish. He filleted a fish! Ick. Ew. Gross. I bet that’s his first and last time doing it. Ugh.

My son got to fillet a fish for the first time last week and he threw up doing it. Hopefully is better the next time - although that was not smell it was blood. Jimmy Choo's last blog post..Sunglass Hut

It is a thankless job, isn't it? I always give my garbage guys a tip at the holidays. Just a special thanks for all the crap they take all year. Kelly's last blog post..L.O.L.

What a charming tribute to Trash Haulers. I hope some of them are taking time out of their busy hauling schedules to read your blog! I'm sure they would be grateful to know that you appreciate them. Perhaps you could get your community newspaper to publish this. What do you think? I can only imagine what your garbage must have been like to make you not only gag, but chuck your stomach-contents! Yuck! (Being the sole maintenance person for 4 litter boxes, I know all about "steaming cat poo" and without my mask, rubber gloves and organic air freshener, I think I'd be tossing my cookies too!)

Chris — We are a special breed. I once had to take my husband to the ER in the middle of the night for a swollen eyeball (don’t worry, I didn’t punch him), and then went to work the next day and gave a webcast performance of a lifetime. I’m awesome in that way.

Rickey Henderson — Tell me about it. Plus, I saw a post about pee elsewhere, and vomit on another. Monday was THE day for gross-out stuff. We now return to our regular programming.

Liz — We’re being blessed with storms and cooler temps today, so when we take the trash to the curb tonight, we won’t pass out. Assuming we leave the lids on!

Carla — No, I do not want a cat like that. I have a cat like that. She has never been “right” in that area. We sometimes have to clean her with a warm, wet towel, which is no fun. The stink will kill you. We’re considering diaperizing her.

ken armstrong — We call them dingleberries, but I like “dags,” too. Can I use it?

DirtyLaundryDiva — I’ll spare you my fridge nightmares. There was also the time I left a bowl of mac and cheese out in the open, left my apartment heat on too high, then left for a weekend trip. Came back to a bowl of hair.

mlm — My God.

Our dog Eddie used to eat out of the litter box, too. We used to call it “Eddie’s Buffet”….
