I was in the military a while back. Some officers could get promoted “below the zone” (early) if they accomplished a really credible and/or notable assignment. Such could have been the case at TDS with their new recycling program. I was very impressed with all the organization that went into TAN lids for the recycling containers, a schedule with alternating TAN and GREEN weeks, and the schedule describing recycling pickups (the TAN lids) on the TAN weeks. Brilliant in concept!! Then, no recyclers picked up on last week’s TAN schedule. A call to TDS answered the dilemma. TDS published a newer schedule, with the recycling to be done on the GREEN weeks. And all of that color-coding gone to waste. Is the promotion still warranted??
