Morning Glory
So, I’ve decided that the people running construction crews in the great state of Delaware probably aren’t the brightest cats around. I’m driving to work in the morning, traveling down Salem Church. To be completely fair, they’ve been doing construction on that road for last couple weeks so I should have seen something like this coming. I get to the intersection of Salem Church and Chapman where I need to take a left onto Chapman and to my complete and utter dismay; I see that they are repainting the lines on the road….?

Who the FUCK decided that RUSH HOUR would be a good time to paint the roads? I mean seriously people… For those of you who have never encountered a phenomenon such as this, let me enlighten you. A few trucks, with paint jets on the side, drive down the road, REALLY REALLY SLOWLY. So one is left with like 5 of these trucks, about 500ft apart driving down the road at 2 miles an hour, with cars in between then. I can hear the conversation that must have taken place…
Construction Worker Bob: Hey Boss, we need to get the road lines put down some time tomorrow.
Foreman John: We do? I dunno… We really have to get our 3 hours of standing around in. And once you add in the couple hours of useless jackhammering and backhoeing, there really isn’t enough time left in the day.
Construction Worker Bob: Well, I just got a telegram from HQ. Here take a look.
CONTINUE JACKHAMMER WORK STOP FINISH ROAD LINES STOP GET OIL CHANGED ON BACKHOE #35 STOP BRING ROOT BEER SALT WATER TAFFY BACK TO HQ STOP
Foreman John: Root Beer? Who likes root beer flavored taffy? Everyone knows peanut butter is the way to go. *Sigh* those corporate types just don’t get it…
Construction Worker Bob: What about the lines, sir?
Foreman John: OHhh, right. Uh, just do it the morning after you get in…
Construction Worker Bob starts to shuffle away
Forman John: And make sure you get an hour of resting in first… don’t want anyone to get hurt. We have to maintain a safety culture 'round here!
I hate people.
