Men!

Tuesday morning, you would think all would start ok, not!

It is garbage day, and I don't know about where you live but our trucks can come anywhere from 8am until 5pm. So of course I do not want to miss the trucks so I try and get it out early.

Notice I say *I* here not *he*. That is because more times then not, *I* am the one who puts it out. Oh yes, he says "I put it out alot too you know", but when you compare my 15 to his 5 times in a matter of 5 months, then one would think he really does not put it out alot.

Oh well, so on my way to take the recycling out, stupid stairs, missed two of them, twist my ankle and yelp. The typical man comes and says "what happened? Are you alright?".

My reply is that I missed two steps and twisted my ankle, all the while he is already making his turn around to return to what he was doing.

Nope, no "You should not be taking that out, leave it there and I will do it" or anything similar to it.

Instead, I ask where the extra garbage tags, thinking he would know since he was the last to use them. He answers " downstairs in the hutch". So silly me believes him and goes back downstairs and tears the drawers apart looking for them, nope, not there!

I ascend to the upstairs and tell him they are not there and that I am not taking the garbage down as it is too heavy.

Hmm what response was I really looking for?

I get, " I will take the garbage down, I know it is on your mind and you want it done, I will do it"

Not so nice huh?

So what has transpired since 7am this morning.

- Got up, checked email.
- Had voice mails for business so attended to those.
- Tried to do some support for a customer but failed miserably.
- Gathered all the recycling
- Gathered all the garbage
- Took recycling out
- Fell down some stairs (my ankle and wrist both still hurt)
- Got snapped at by the man

And to think it is only 10:14AM, is this it or is there more to come today?

Will keep you posted...
