"putting oregon back to work" signs, is it normal that they annoy me?

Putting Oregon back to work. Really?

Everywhere you drive now in Oregon you see construction signs on the side of the road
claiming that due to all of the road construction, they are creating jobs. This is fine
and it is just another sign in a sea of signs.

Well after yet another interview but this time with an employment agency (Which I think
is f-ing useless as the help they give is rather pointless in this job search.) I am
still trying to find a job that they are "supposibly" giving out.

Then it hit me further as I saw three guys spend at least an hour putting up the same
sign outside of my apartment complex on the corner. They dug a hole, put the sign post
into the ground and filled the hole with a cement mixture. To do all of this, they had
to use materials that were paid by our tax dollars as well as driving a huge f-ing truck
to be able to do so with.

The worst part is how the cement will be a complete bitch to clean up when the sign is
gone and NOBODY asked for this sign. Is this a complete waste of taxpayers dollars or is
it just me? And if so, what the hell does it do, tell out that there are jobs out there?
What the fuck is the point?

Is this okay to do with our money? I know it is normal as this shit happens all of the
time but is it normal to give a shit about it? How does this kind of crap benefit anyone
besides the three people it helped employ with our money and resources.

Lastly though above all else, "Putting Oregon back to work?" Really, where is
the proof of this? Is it okay to be annoyed by seeing these signs?

    I know what you mean. A few years ago, our wonderful premier (I say that with sarcasm) announced all these amazing plans and ideas to bring New Brunswickers back to New Brunswick, stating there were all kinds of great jobs, etc. Well if you think McDonalds is a good job, then yes. Or a call centre, making $12/hr. Weeeeee! Good old Shawn Graham. Sure, there have been more jobs created in NB, but not the best-paying jobs. Gotta love the government, eh? Pathetic. If Shawn Graham wins the election in September, I may consider moving to another province. Damned Liberals!!! All they wanna do is help the already rich companies, and the Welfare bums. The middle class people are constantly getting screwed every day!!!!! Sorry for my rant, lol.

    Yeah it's ok. To bad it means putting people to work means state employees only. I have a house in Oregon. I know what you mean. Put people back to work that aren't state employees. If noone works but them they will have no money. Then they can cry bankrupt like California.

    You just love 'hearing yourself talk' here, don't you? I honestly can't get through most of your stories. You harp on mexicans who don't speak english when they come here, yet you continually butcher the language yourself. What's your excuse?

    wow bud... running out of things to complain about, huh??

    this is just getting silly now, old friend.

    maybe instead of using this site as ur own personal blog to complain about all the pointless random shit you think about all day , you should spend more energy finding a job....seriously, you're like, an adult, dude.

    • No you dumb whore, I could complain all day about you. This story started on how my fiance and I were talking about the new sign and I was bored so I wrote it. I could if you want, change the subject to your nose again but talking about its huge size could take hours.

      Oh, Whore. I almost forgot to insult the lying skank with an insult.
