Most days I wake to the sound of my alarm going off just above my head. Some days I wake when my roommate moves around some and makes just enough noise to wake me up. I have even been woken by the sound of the house keeping staff coming to clean our bathroom in the dorm. Today was very different.
Today I was woken by the sound of the garbage truck coming to our dorm to get the trash from the dumpster. My room is right next to the dumpster and that means that when the truck comes, it is right outside my window. Now, I understand that they have to do their jobs. I have got a lot of respect for the guys who do this job everyday. They spend their days cleaning up after the rest of us so they deserve a little respect.
The thing that I don't get is why they have to do it so early in the morning. I would think that it would be better to do it later in the day so that it does not disturb people who are sleeping. Even waiting another hour or two would allow most people to wake on their own. Now, I also understand that by waiting it is going to be hotter and more work for them. So I guess it is sorta of a stand off. The people get more sleep, or the garbage men have an easier time doing a job that most people would never do.
