garbage musings


Its odd, but the time that I am most likely to mention to customers that I have a college degree is when I am out on the floor of the cafe changing the garbages. It's not a compulsion like the huge homophobes who feel the need to justify their heterosexuality at every waking moment, rather its more of a murphy's law thing -and though it happens often, I never seem to realize what's happening until it is too late. For example, while doing said action the other day, I noticed a girl wearing a sweatshirt with my alma mater's emblem:
(me) "Did you go to the U of M?"
(Her) "yeah"
(me) "so did I!"
I pause for a few moments and then add "and now I am changing garbages"

Im the same way. Everytime someone asks about the dog walking, I tell them that I went to college. Our parents must be so proud.
