Am I the only one who finds something quite sad and tragic
in those days after the 25th December as you start to see the rubbish
and recycling being put out containing the remains of everyone’s Christmas?
For the past couple of weeks all that stuff has sat in
preparation for the big day and now there it is just sitting by the side of the
road forlornly waiting to be piled into the back of the refuse truck and taken
away never to be seen again.
We give it no second thought as it waits there at the end of
the drive and go about enjoying ourselves because it’s not our problem anymore.
Except when we take a look out the window and it’s still
sitting there well into the afternoon then there we are on social media moaning
about what a disgrace it is and giving the refuse men what for because its “
just not good enough “ of course.
Now come on get a bit of perspective, if you were a day
behind on a job you normally had an extra day to do wouldn’t you struggle to
achieve the unfair standards of productivity you’re imposing on them.
After all they’re only human like the rest of us, not our
slaves.
