Yeah I agree to a point…but go back to Office Space…if you had one million dollars what would you do? The answer to that is supposed to be your dream job. Like Mike says, it’s b.s b/c then no one would want to pick up our garbage. So there are a ton of really crappy jobs, but someone has to do it, and stop feeling sorry for these people and start applauding them for doing it.

Those people are often temps from an agengy. They are unemployed or only have temporary or part time work with temp work on the side.

They really need the money.

Better they stand their holding a sign and getting paid for it… rather than my tax money paying for their public aid.

Anyway, be thankful that the decisions you made in life got you where you are now, instead of out there holding a sign.

What’s worse: freezing cold or wearing a hot animal costume in august? It’s crazy however you look at it.

I agree with you John, I feel that it is an inhumane task, because folks are desperate and they have very few opportunities at hand. There are a lot of people who do this in Houston, and let me tell you, every time I see them, I feel bad. Poor folks. You have every reason to feel the way you do, and I am glad you do. Too many people could care less.

I would think these people consider what they do more as a gig than and actual job. But sometimes life is tough and you gotta do what you gotta do to bring home the bread.

i would stand outside holding a sign that says “i’m crazy for standing outside holding a sign” next to one of the guys that are standing outside holding a sign.

Peor para los pobres soldados de la Guardia Presidencial, que tienen que hacer turnos de 4 a 6 horas de pie en la Casa de Nariño sin mover siquiera un poco los pies (tipo soldado británico, esos de los gorros graciosos)

I worked the door at our movie theatre, but having only three screens, I was able to move around once the people were in, thankfully. I know what you mean in terms of limited choices b/c not everyone has the opportunity or skills to work in a warm office.

Hey they have the same thing here when stores go out of business. Last weekend I wondered the same thing when I saw someone outside in our 11* temps.

That is why I said almost inhumane. Like you I believe it is a choice… but when you are desperate you tend to really compromise on where your lines are as to what you would do or not. I feel like it is almost takind advantage of people in a bad situation. I almost want to applaud those people for earning a wage in a very difficult job instead of collecting free cheese.
