Safety orange.
When you see safety orange, you are supposed to look out, be aware and be extra careful. Well, I'm not sure if it was the weather, or whatnot, but I failed at this task.
You see, on Friday, I saw this outside my window:
(Look how he just pops out because he is wearing safety orange! Ok fine it's really safety yellow but you get my point.)
Now, I know that there is construction going on around the corner, but I was too focused on the fact that I was taking pictures of this guy without him even knowing it. Since HE was in safety orange and not I.
Well, today, he got me back, big time:
Because of where the foreman parked, I can hear all their conversations regarding pipe sizes, blue prints, curb lengths and easements. Knowledge, that I am totally going to put on my resume.

safety yellow? looks like safety green to me.
Oh boy... I bet that is noisy! Do that start working all early and wake you up?
I got stuck behind one of those coming home from work this morning. I LOOOVE driving 10 miles an hour for 5 miles. Really, I do.
What sort of resume are you building? Some sort of blogging, pipe laying, construction worker?

Do you have a zoom on that camera? Just asking.
Beware of what you're doing (and wearing) in front of windows...They are wily spies, those construction dudes, even in their safety orange/yellow/green.
you should totally build a picture shrine to these people. that way one day they will come in for a cup of tea, see your crazy picture-shrine, and get the heck out of there faster than you can say 'safety orange'. then you have your peace back, WITHOUT any butt-kicking! nice.
but yes, wait until the resume is built...
safety orange has to be the most unflattering color of All Time. I guess thats why it is so effective
cami: Why do you always have to disagree with me? Why? Why? yellow Why?
talina: 7:30 am, not that I noticed ;)
mielikki: Wait, the back hoe or the construction worker?
stu: I just like to keep my options open.
stephanie: Oh honey, I tried, trust me I tried. A man in psuedo-uniform, *sigh*.
holly: They won't get past the front hall, you can see my bathroom from their. That is where I leave my toys to air dry.
meleah: Apparently, it has the most contrast to the blue of the sky. (Not that we have all that many blue skies around here.)
Snort, I'm with Holl, or one day hand each one a copy of their photo then just walk away. Say nothing. That will make them work fast.
