so
I was driving past the Civic Center today, and I saw one of those official light-up road signs; you know, the ones that usually say “Drive time 45 minutes” or “Detour Ahead” or whatever.
This sign said “Gwinnett Graduates 2010: Expect Heavy Traffic” and for a half mile, I thought this might be a piece of advice. I mean, sure, I’m looking for a job right now and there are so many other candidates and so few opportunities; thanks, sign! You’ve prepared me with realistic expectations for my future job prospects!
Then, as if to warn against the easy path of thieving and robbery, another sign a half mile later said “Gwinnett Graduates 2010: Stay Straight”. Another eloquent piece of sage wisdom. We should stay straight; on the straight path, towards goodness and virtue. What a helpful sign!
Then, another quarter mile down the road, there was a sign that said “Gwinnett Graduates 2010: Next Left”. That sign was harder to interpret. Then I realized it was directions to a graduation ceremony.
The moral of the story? You won’t find the job you’re looking for, and you should start stealing.
