It does seem to me to be a curious job the steet department and the parks
and rec. department have. Not a bad job for the unmotivated.

I also see emplyees of the U of I doing the same thing. Daily I observe
the work going on within the confines of the University and in particular
I see a man with the last name Fisher, spending many paid hours sitting in
his truck, in various hidden places on campus.

Hmmm. Perhaps getting a degree isn't all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps
I should put in for a job with the state/city/county. Perhaps I could go
to school full time during the day and hold down a full-time day job
working for one of the afore mentioned.

In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition
means death by slow starvation. The old principle: Who does not
work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: Who does not
obey shall not eat.
