Need a job???
Can you stand around for hours doing nothing except leaning on a shovel?? And do it in the company of five or six other employees doing the same thing?? Can you measure carefully enough to make sure man hole covers protrude at least 2 inches above the road surface and pavement transitions are rough and bumpy?? Could you enjoy being surrounded by hundreds of bright orange plastic cones?? Well you may just have a future in road repair!!!
It seems most of the roads around here are torn up and under repair and have been for a long time. It amazing how long it takes to get the roads fixed and how many people are standing around doing nothing except talking to each other. And the results sometimes suck. The driveways into Sonic drive inn here,the concrete is a good three inches above the new pavement and has been for over three months. No pride in one?s work is a problem.

A man was sitting on a park bench along side a nature trail.
Along comes a city working with a shovel. He digs a hole in the ground.
Behind him about 2 minutes later, another city worker comes up and fills the hole back up.
This goes on every 10 feet along the trail.
The man asks "What the heck are you 2 doing??"
The first worker says, "Me and Joe, and Tommy are planting trees--
I dig the hole, Joe drops the tree in and Tommy fills in the dirt"
"BUT there are only 2 of you!!!"
"yea, Joe called out sick today, but that doesn't mean Tommy and Me can't work!"0 -

Sounds like the concrete at sonic needs to be raised another 9 inches. 0 -
I would rather be a supervisor, that way I could stand with three other guys in hard hats drinking coffee and watching one guy in a hole with a shovel do all the work.[:)] 0 -
I hear there is going to be a lot of lay-offs for town, village and city & state road crews. It seems someone has invented a shovel that stands up on it's own. 0 -

One of our superintendents at work once discovered ? We keep getting in shipments of shovels but I never see any chairs come in. Just goes to show, you can never find a shovel, but you can always find a chair.? 0 -
