Long Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply by Ariock Knight

May 30th, 2007 5:00 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Document a confusing, unsettling, or contradictory officially-placed
sign. Explain why it might have this effect.

This should help prepare you to think outside the box...

This sign is the first one you see when you enter the site where I currently work. The sign is in a parking lot, and just beyond is the gate that would be closed after everyone is gone for the day. Inside the site is the construction trailer where a visitor would go to sign in.

So you have to go into the site to sign in.
You are not supposed to go into the site until you sign in.

Obviously, the first time I arrived, I was confused. Do I wait out here for someone to bring me the sign-in sheet? Do I sneak in so that no one sees me and kicks me out before I have a chance to sign in?

On top of that, though not visible in the attached photograph, there are a total of 5 different trailers. Only one of which is the official trailer (though only two are obviously not the official trailer..they have company names different from the General Contractor's name).

So returning to my first day at the site, I decided to hastily approach the nearest Contractor trailer and ask for help. No one was there.

I went to the next....Also no one. The third was empty as well. So I went to one of the OTHER trailers and asked one of the subcontractors to call someone out to meet me. They also pointed me to the right trailer (the first one I'd tried).

When the foreman arrived, I asked him for the sign-in sheet, and got a blank look. Of course there IS no sign in sheet.

That's what I get for being a good little drone.
