Mine is the computer. I continue to be amazed at what we can do with them.

Yeah that’s pretty fair, it’s usually referred to people after point of disposal. I’ve never heard a custodian say they work in waste management for example.

Agreed, custodians (usually) wouldn't refer to themselves that way. Without them though, trash doesn't make it to the point of disposal. Which is a break in the chain. We could debate the finer points I'm sure, but it's about bed time for me and I have an early AM meeting with offshore.

So have a good one, and I do appreciate the discussion!
