Garbage Bins and The Easiest Job in the World

Since I moved to NH I've noticed a phenomenon: it rains or
snows every time you put the garbage out for pickup.
Well, OK, not EVERY time. 95% , maybe.

It's ridiculous. Even when there's a holiday and the trash is
collected a day later - the precipitation holds off for twenty-four
hours to accommodate "trash day".

My theory is that the blue container the city gave us for
trash somehow attracts water. They should ship thousands of
these dumpsters to draught-stricken lands. It would solve
their water problem within a month!

Not familiar with these dumpsters? They are bins large enough to
hold a week's worth of household trash. They make it possible for a
large truck to pull up beside the bin, grab it mechanically with two
big claw-like arms, flip it up and over the top of the truck to empty
the contents and then place the bin back on the ground. Basically,
they eliminated the need for the guy who used to empty the trash
cans into the back of the truck. Did they fire those guys? I don't know.
Maybe there are two guys in the truck now. But the big downfall of
being a garbage collector (having to handle the garbage) seems to be
going away.

But that's not the easiest job in the world - that has to be:
Weather Forecaster ! How many jobs have you had where you
were constantly WRONG, but you kept the job and earned more
and more each year? "Weather forecasting is very tricky here in
New England" is what one guy always says. I guess that makes it
OK for him to spread bad information year after year.

A friend of mine was driving through the Nevada desert years ago,
and the radio weather forecaster predicted:

"It's going to be another hot and dry one in the desert today."

I want THAT guy's job. Barring that, I'd like to drive through the desert
and drop off a blue NH trash dumpster - just to keep the guy honest!
