Bobby Valentine may not have much to do these days after being fired from the Red Sox but he says he literally is going a different direction these days -- road construction.
I get my greatest joy from driving through construction zones. I now go out of my way to see them. I'm traveling all 50 states just to get into traffic jams. I enjoy starring at the cars, the license plates, the grass, the road...I mean that is living and seeing those hard working construction workers hanging around chatting and just having good times is just an added bonus.
Bobby also commented that a big part of his day is when the shift changes.
Bobby:
Shift changes are great. You have the morning shift. There they are in the warm sun drinking water and...well I never actually see them doing anything.
Actually they just stand around chatting. Oh, it's fun to see them all having a good time.
Bobby:
Then you have the afternoon shift. They look awfully tired as you can see here from all that chatting. It's a tough job. I'm sure they are getting to their job...but you know the hot sun.
Then you have the evening shift. That's usually when they get together and stand around some more. You can tell the different shifts by looking at your clock. Morning shift is 8 - 10 am. Day shift is 10am - 12:00 pm and afternoon shift is 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm before they call it a day after a hard day's chatting. It's great and the best part is the traffic moves so slowly you really have a lot of time to hang around and enjoy the weather. I often talk to people on the road as they wait in traffic for hours at a time. Man some people have the wrong attitude. Construction zones are awesome. Heck where else can you turn a two hour drive into fifteen right!
