City Government and Businesses, Not at Work
You can read about it here.
For those of you that don’t know, Atlanta and most cities have, and will have even bigger, problems with sewer systems. Atlanta, a property owner and the owner’s business tenants have been sniping at each other for over a year about who is responsible for repair of a storm drain, built in the 1920's, that collapsed.
While they fought, two city workers sat in a truck next to the hole that resulted from the collapse and watched it, the hole, TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Classic!
I read this story today and wondered (a)who would take a job watching a hole, and (b)why it was necessary to have the truck idling the entire time.
The chicken bones part of the story made me chuckle. Way back when I was a college freshman and sophomore, I had a co-op job with a large aluminum extruding company out on Fulton Industrial. They had a 24-hour guard stationed at a guard shack, and every morning when I drove in, you could see discarded chicken bones from the night before.
Well, as that old saying goes "Truth is stranger than fiction" and this sure goes the distance to prove how absurd government (on all levels) can really be, doesn't it? Must have the "brightest and best" working there I bet.
