Looking For Work

I went to the Kelly-Moore paint store this afternoon to check out some colors for my office. The purple walls are getting to me and I need a change. I think I may have found something too. I was intent on part of the walls to be burgundy but that's way too bold. And dark.

But my query is how long do those guys stand outside stores like Kelly-Moore, Home Depot, & Lowes hoping to find work for the day? Some were even already dressed in paint drab. I figured they'd start to pack it in before lunch. But no; they're just sitting out there watching the cars drive in and out, hoping they'll be approached and offered. Hmmm...
