A Rubbish Timetable #FixThePlus

I've noticed a pattern...

Monday morning - time for work!
Monday evening - phew, what a day!  Time to relax.
Tuesday morning - hmm, that kitchen bin is starting to look a little full.. hey, it's time for work!
Tuesday evening - I definitely need to empty that bin in the morning, but it gets too full.

Wednesday morning - boy that bin needs emptying... hey, time for work!
Wednesday evening - man that bin really needs emptying... First thing tomorrow, I'll empty the bin.

Thursday morning - running late!
Thursday evening - oh man, I meant to empty that bin. (Gives all the rubbish a big push down to try to make more room)  First thing tomorrow.

Friday morning - hey, it's Friday! Nearly the weekend!  Right, time for work!
Friday evening - that bin is far too full. But it's Friday night, time to kick back with a beer.

Saturday morning - why is it that every time I empty the bin is it overflowing?!? Next week, I'm going to empty it ahead of time.

Pouring milk isn't as easy as it sounds

Imagine the scene, if you will.  It's a normal workday morning.  A colleague from another organisation has arrived for a meeting.  As is the normal social convention, I offer him a drink, and he chooses a coffee, with milk.

I select a mug, pour in a teaspoon of coffee, and put in some hot water, and empty the contents of one of those little buckets of milk into the mug.  It's all given a good stir, but it looks as though it could do with a little more milk.

Not a problem!  We have more UHT pots of milk.

I grab another milk pot, open it up and...

Pour the milk into the bin.

This happens occasionally.  If I have something in my hands, and two activities to undertake, I'll do the wrong thing with the item I'm holding.  I remember some years back holding a used straw, and a stamp (I was collecting stamps at the time).  The straw was to be disposed of, while the stamp when in my album.  And I managed to put the stamp in the coal scuttle.

So, we all make mistakes.  I grab another pot of milk, open it up and...

Yes.  Again.  Poured the milk straight into the bin.

Why?!?
