The hardest working man in the Falls has to be my “G-man” Eric, who works for Waste Management.
You see, Eric works on days that some make excuses for not showing up. The hottest days of the year, the coldest days of the year, rain, snow, wind, Eric is on the job with his familiar smile.
He is always friendly but he is on a tight schedule so he cannot chat. Nevertheless, he is more cautious driving around neighborhood kids than some of my neighbors.
Hate those annoying Yellowjackets? Imagine what Eric thinks about them while he encounters them at every stop on his route. Barking dogs and everything else is always taken in stride as the man always has a smile when he greets me.
Is your “G-man” this good? If so, acknowledge them this time of year with a simple thank you, or perhaps some cookies that you want to share. Hard workers with good attitudes are always worthy of respect and appreciation.
