Picked up, finally

It only took them a week and three additional phone calls, but the trash was finally picked up.....this morning.

Not as expected - or promised - last Friday, or this past Monday, or even Wednesday. Nope, they picked it up a full week after they initially began their promisory service.

This last week of 2010 has not been a satisfactory week - in any way, shape or form, and not just because of the trash non-service.
