I guess the sanitation company got wind of my plot because about 45 minutes after my unhappy message, a lady called me back all apologetic, promising to have someone out within the hour. They kept their word; I was torn between satisfaction at things working as they were supposed to, and disappointment because I was sort of looking forward to dumping my trash at their office.

Ah, well. Then Notre Dame upset #3 Michigan, and not just upset them - stomped them Irishly like they were a bunch of GIRL wolverines, so my world makes sense again.
