Sarge 3,462 #60 Posted December 15, 2017 Yup , amen to that - I just couldn't take it anymore and pretty much got out from dealing with just too much stupid . I think it really became worse - as I've gotten older now I can't do the heavy work being a Laborer - so us older ones are generally stuck being a highway flagger so instead of repairing their idiot mistakes I have to deal with ALL of the idiots on the highway . Cars are generally the worst , but there are a new crop of young drivers that think 40 tons can be driven like a Ferrari - inertia proves otherwise but I'm getting pretty sick of being the target of things that far outweigh me - due to injuries I can't outrun them anymore either ...no idea how some of them can even get a CDL . How are your hands , arms and back holding up from wrenching for so long ? I've got too many joints that are shot to count from it , didn't help when I moved from that into construction but if you're going to be dumb enough to do it - better be tough ...

Sarge 3,462 #62 Posted December 15, 2017 Yeah - I can imagine as I've broken two myself , sorry about that . Nothing major damaged , just bruised up pretty good and really pi$$ed off , only one driver ever stopped after hitting me . Interstate 80 has gotten so dangerous in our work region it's getting hard to get anyone to go out there and work to protect us and the public - Illinois has some pretty nasty penalties for hitting a worker but it hasn't seemed to make any difference . Worst days are when the crew has to work over the center line on the joints - my job is to push traffic all over onto the shoulder as far as possible and when they tailgate each other I'm the target - dented a car fender this summer again with my right hip . I'll have my 20yrs in November of 2018 - think it's time to move on to something a little quieter . Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
