Learn To Pave, Caltrans!
680 South got a little road repair this summer. The result? Transitions between old and newly paved stretches of road so rough that it makes my CDs skip. And for parts of the road where they simply filled in the potholes, they didn't level them out and created a bunch of bumps instead. I know that my car has sensitive suspension, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that when Caltrans works on our roads, their workers leave the surface smoother than before they started.
It really feels as if no one bothers to do their job (official or not; I mean that in a broad sense of the word) properly these days. What happened to taking pride in one's work? Sometimes I wonder why I bother, given that so many others around me (and who often directly affect me) don't.
In the end, I always do bother. I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning, and I want to be able to respect the person looking back at me. So if I ever fill a pothole for you, you can trust I'll level it out before I declare it done.
