No ringy dingy

Appparently Tmobile service is down. If you try calling sorry…

Ridin’ on a donkey…

The road in front of the college is under construction. It has been since last fall… Lately they have been doing the last of the final coat of asphalt. Today I arrived at my intersection and put on my left turn signal as always, so that I could travel north to the entrance of the college. This flagger stood in front of me directing the traffic in the south bound lane of the divided highway. When the light changed, she held her hand up for me to stay put while she continued to allow the south bound traffic to clear. Once they had cleared and more cars had built up along side of me to turn right, she stopped the southbound traffic, and motioned for the right hand lane to proceed with their turns. Once they had completed their turns she pointed at me and shook her finger side to side as if scolding me, then motioned for me to turn right. I looked at her like she was from mars, and pointed to the left. She again scolded me and pointed to the right. Then she threw her hand up for me to stop and changed the traffic flow again allowing the southbound traffic to go. After the south bound traffic cleared out she again scolded me and pointed for my to head south, the opposite direction of where I needed to go. I finally gave in, and headed south where I made an illegal U-Turn so I could head north to go to work.

If they are going to randomly block off a road, or change the flow of traffic, don’t they need to put up some sort detour or road closed signs? I went from having 5 minutes to spare before work started, to being 2 minutes late…
