I felt that I was paid well during my time in road work (entire family still works there). Then again, I don't need useless things like most people in society, so I'm naturally satisfied with any quantity of federal reserve notes that I'm allocated.

I agree with you that it's all being neglected.

We had to steadily taper off the traffic into one lane before night time work began in the summer. I remember specifically one time I was slowing down traffic on the interstate by setting out the warning barrels - someone from out of state passing through was just so angry from having to slow down to 55mph for 10 minutes of their life. Flipped me off, along with the most rotten glare I've ever seen.

I guess nothing else matters except for everyone getting out of THEIR way so THEY can get to THEIR destination. I'm sorry that I'm taking the gas tax we've all been paying in order to renew a 10 mile stretch of the interstate so you can do just that - travel INTER state (bump free).
