Sittin’ Around at Powell
Photo by Steve Rhodes
Over the past few weeks, there has been some light construction (electrical work perhaps) going on in the top floor of the Powell St. BART station.
It always seems to be two younger guys doing work, and one or two older guys sitting around. The guys sitting around often even have folding chairs. Today, one of them was sitting in a folding chair and the other was leaning against the wall drinking coffee. Only once have I seen any work going on without seeing any old guys sitting around.
I’m guessing the older guys are “supervisors,” but to me it looks like “lazy mother*****s who are wasting my tax dollars.”
Can anyone shed some light on what’s going on? This kind of crap makes me want to jump the faregates.

I was wondering about that myself, too. Saw five folks changing light bulbs at 12th St Oakland the other day. Two guys were actually changing fixtures, with another guy getting supplies, but then two more were there: one in a folding chair doing something on what looked like a cell phone, and another guy standing between them.
On the plus side, the station feels a lot brighter!

this comment compels me to wonder: how many BART employees does it take to change a lightbulb? :P
