How many MTA workers does it take to open a hatch
![[Image: IMG_20131002_110140_922_zps9ae879de.jpg]](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a327/captainjohn/Droid/IMG_20131002_110140_922_zps9ae879de.jpg)
Well, these 7 guys took an hour to set up that fence then were standing around for at least another hour... Aparantly 8...
oops... 9

(yes, I took these pictures right outside of my office window)
a short while later another guy (#9) came with a cone, they opened the gate, 1 of the guys went in, they placed the cone in the open gate area and 1 guy went down. 10 minutes later he came up and they closed the hatch.
so they were waiting for the cone guy...

Everyone knows you can't do anything without the cone guy. Most important guy of any work detail.... ;-)

Apparently we're in the wrong line of work. Utterly ridiculous

I've looked out my window and seen the entire rack empty and a few hours later people trying to return bikes and no slots (there are 3 more stations within 2 blocks from here and each of these stations are double or triple stations-meaning 2 or 3 racks abutted to one another)

That's why everything is so expensive in NY. Anywhere else in the country and they would of only had 4 guys waiting for the cone guy. Our governor said on TV that they were going to have one of the main roads into the mountains, washed out in the flood, rebuild by 12-1. These are the same people that have been working on a piece of interstate that is 4 miles long and flat for the last 2 years.
