i believe ours say "workers present" lol

when my mom was a single mom of two kids and looking for work to support them she learned how much road workers earned. far more than she could earn as a waitress which was about the only job avaliable for a woman that hadn't gone to school to be a nurse or something. she thought, i can hold a stop sign. so she went and applied for the job. she was denied for 2 reasons. 1, she'd distract the workers; 2, she was taking a good job from a man that had a family to support. she explained she had kids to support as well, she was told to get married. my how times have changed. she was also denied state help with child care not due to income she definately fit in that catagory but because she wasn't black.

though some ppl are very very stupid it's a good thing times have changed.
