is somebody out there? can anyone hear me?


so why is it that every road in this valley seems to be lined with orange barrels cutting down the flow of traffic and causing me and everyone else to sit and wait. i could understand if this was a summer only thing but its not its, now drifting into fall and they will be greeting us as the holiday season rolls around i know. it seems like these construction agencies, tare up a road, get it all fixed just to do the same 2-3 months later. do the job right, do it well, and then lets talk in 4-5 years down the road. i don't think this is too much to ask really. i mean i realize that if they had the all curing payment mixture that lasted years and years then yeah they would be out of a job because you can only build so many roads, but think about the money that is being spent to supply the crappy materials that they are putting down every few months that are either:

a- torn up within just a few months because joe smoe forgot to put a end cap on the what-cha-ma-call-it when they were doing the work previous
or
b- the fine quality payment begins to crack and cause ginormous sink holes when winter rolls around. (some of them do swallow cars whole, trust me i know!)

lets face the harsh reality UDOT, whatever it is you are using is not quality made.
and another thing if they are going to fix the road get in, and get out don't take days upon days to dick around and do what ever it is they do. don't greet me stop sign guy after you have sat there and starred with your cool guy sun glasses for 5-10 minutes through your construction zone of dirt mounds. do you not realize that these are precious moments of my life that you are taking and i will never get back? not to mention the reprimanding you are guarantying i will receive from the boss who is now chapped that i am not on time? thank you and good day.
