Subject: Life at State Highway

Don't y'all ever think the Maryland State Highway Maintenance crews are anything but tuff.

In all of the shops, they had time clocks that punched the employees back.

Mrs JimJr is the typical observant wife. One evening after dinner, she handed me a bottle of that Rogaine hair restorer. I told her while I was indeed starting to thin out some, I didn't really think I needed hair restorer yet.

She said, "Oh. It's not for you, it's for your secretary, she seems to be losing quite a bit of her hair on your jacket."

When I retired, my Senior Manager predicted I'd be back on a contract within a year.

"Whatever makes you say a thing like that ?" I asked. "I've been in this place over thirty years."

"Exactly !" he replied. "Just how long do you think you'll be able to stand happiness ?"

As y'all can imagine, I think I held the record for being sent to various "Sensitivity Training" courses by the Maryland State Highway, each time I was involved in some kind of trumped-up sexual harassment grievance filed by some hysterical female.

Sharon, the resident expert on harassment, said, "Jimmy will never benefit from that type of class. First they have to find a 'Get a Clue' training class and send him there."

With Halloween coming, I'm reminded of when they went all out at the State Highway Headquarters, and decorated the 4th floor (where all the big wheels were quartered) for the occasion.

One Senior Manager asked me how I liked the decorations and I said the jack-o'-lanterns outside of each office door were the best and most appropriate of all of the decorations.

When asked to explain, I said, "All those heads with nothing in them are certainly apt representations of our Senior Managers."
