Yes, this is a real sign

Unfortunately, in Temp Town, this is the kind of sign that actually is necessary. It ranks up there with "Please Don't Eat Other People's Food." This stuff happens all the time, on every project, because temps are animals, and so we get signs like this:


I wish this were the worst thing that happens on projects in Temp Town. It isn't. I get it, it happens in the real world, too, but not so often that building management feels the need to put up a sign. I'm still waiting for a sign in the bathroom that says, "Please do not take a dump on the floor. Use the toilet." Three projects and counting that needed that sign, and one of them was this year. Never underestimate how low temps will sink when it comes to failure to observe socially acceptable norms.

A tale of two counties

Every weekday, I drive across the county line into Montgomery County on my way to work, and every night I drive back across into Frederick County. Frederick County tends conservative, Montgomery is known as The People's Republic of Montgomery County. As you enter Frederick County, the sign at the county line says "Welcome to Frederick County." The sign put up at the county line by Montgomery County says "Traffic Laws Are Photo Enforced."

I think that tells you everything you need to know about the two.
