Your clients and employers may not share your apathy. Are you aware that all of the articles you post to Usenet are archived for posterity, and prospective clients and employers who bother to do a Google search for MICHAEL JEFFERSON SHELLEY will be treated to your profanity, misanthropy, and general disdain for civility? |

Some of them are pretty particular about what you put in them. They even make you sort your trash.

Thrown out of an FBO...(the landfill story)

Some of them are pretty particular about what you put in them. They even make you sort your trash. Al G Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com Ok, Ok, if you insist... A friend of mine died of Lung Cancer. His brother and I were making a dump run in his truck to the local landfill. It was absolutely pouring rain, and had been for a week. After paying at the front gate, we drove up to the dump locations, and noticed a line of 20 trucks waiting to dump at dump location #1. I drove over to the "Community service volunteer", and rolled down the window to ask a question. She shouted "Get back in line, you're taking cuts". I said, No, I'm not trying to cut, I just have a question. "You have any questions, ask the F___king manager." she says. "Can we use one of the other dump locations?" I insert. "No, get back in line!", she responds. Ok, so we drive to the back of the line, and use the 20 minutes to catch up on old times, and relive some good times. When our turn came up, the "volunteer" walked over and told us to use location #8. She made the next guy wait until we were done, and only then could he begin to use dump location #1. On the way out, I was stopped by the "Manager", who said "You're in violation of DEQ regulation 2364...." I said "What on earth are you talking about." He says "You threw a lit cigarette out of your truck, and could have set the land fill on fire, and polluted the entire valley." "Oh, come on, I don't even smoke. In fact I don't have any cigarettes" I retorted. "Well, it was probably the other gut in the truck." he says. "He doesn't smoke either. In any case it has been raining steadily for over a week, you couldn't set fire to this place with 500 gallons of jet fuel and a propane torch." I replied and started back toward my friends truck. As I was walking off, he said "Did you have a question?" "Yes", I replied, "How much intelligence does it take to mis-manage a ****in dump?" "That's it", he said, "You're outa here. For LIFE. I have your license number." Cool, so he 86'ed my dead friends truck, for life. Well we went back to the house, and had a small wake for my friend that evening. One of the guys managed to get the basement door open, where we found some more trash, and a dead cat. Great, so now someone has to make another dump run. Not me, of course, I'VE been thrown out. A skydiver there said, "No problem, I have to take the Super Cub* down to CEC tomorrow, I'll take the bag with me tonight, and "Drop" it off tomorrow on the way. So he did. As I understand it, the bag with the cat in it, missed the managers shack by 75 feet, and hit directly in the center of the access road. The manager had said I couldn't come back. He didn't say we couldn't drop stuff off. Two years later, I re-registered the truck, and was asked if I wanted to keep the current license number. Thinking back to the dump, I said "Absolutely".
