Low Job Security

So, I’m driving to Dover today, and I pass by a construction area. They’re repaving the road or something. This process takes up one of the lanes of the (two lane) road, meaning traffic from both directions has to travel along a single lane for a while. In order to warn oncoming drivers of this, they had a man standing there holding a wooden pole with an orange “SLOW” sign on it. As I passed him by, all I could think was “This guy must feel incredibly insecure in his job, knowing that at any moment he could be replaced by the ground.” Then, as I pass out of the construction area, I see another guy holding the same sign on the other side of the area to the traffic coming in the opposite direction. Holy crap, I hope I’m not paying for these guys with my taxes.
