"Not My Job" contest, Riverside entry
The town is apparently trying to lay down a dividing line on the curve on Riverside Avenue just before St. Paul's Church. If they follow its guidance, drivers will swerve back and forth from one side of the road to the other, repeatedly. I'll stop by later and attempt a shot with my iPhone's camera but here's a snap from the web that seems to sum up the attitude of our line painters.

They did that on Milbank a year or so ago. I guess they didn't learn anything from that.

Why learn when your job and your pension are assured?

my eyes are bad - is that a dead animal on the road?

Yup. the government employee obviously felt that his job was to paint a yellow line down the road. Removing dead animals before he painted? "Not my job". Kind of makes one glad that so many municipal pension funds are destined for bankruptcy, eh?
