Meter ghouls    [ Rants ]

I parked in a public garage next to work today - couldn't carpool since I'm leaving early - and got to see the Montgomery County meter ghouls walking 'round and picking up the change deposited in the meters.   Why meter ghouls?   They're outfitted in drab gray outfits, carry conical bags to deposit the change in, and generally look somewhere between unhappy with their job and dead to the world.

Seems that Montgomery County could at least do something to make the uniforms less... well, less like they're showing up for a shift of grave-digging duty.   It's probably nowhere on anyone's top 10 jobs list, but most other government employees I've met seem much happier.
