Twister, and other ways to lose friends

Attention, Discovery Channel. The county may soon have a good candidate for “Dirty Jobs”: a professional garbage sorter.

Sounds gross, but Sam Chandler, the county’s solid waste director, says it’s actually a lot of fun. “You run into an occasional dirty diaper, but you try not to focus on that too much,” Chandler says.

So garbage sorting is essentially the same as parenting a small child, but the pay is better and you never have to listen to Elmo.
