‘Member I told you that work is being done on my street? Well, it’s still happening. In front of my house, we are getting our water lines replaced from the street to each house and then they will repave the street itself. They are currently working about half a block up the street.
On the side of the house, the lines are being run from pole to pole by Verizon for the VIOS lines. This has been going on for the past week and a half. I see their trucks one day and there are four or five men busy as hell pulling wires and going up in the cherry pickers. Today I saw a single truck.
This guy must be a union man. It must be against OSHA rules for anyone to work outdoors on a day as pretty as today.
First, he did this.
Then he did this.
By 2:30 pm, this was all that was happening out there.
It must be nice……

on July 2, 2008 at 03:00 pmI’m shocked you didn’t even think of offering the poor guy some cold drink or something. Where is your legendary sense of hospitality? Paying your taxes for his salary is not enough, really
