You might remember Roadguy’s “welcome to work” pothole from a few months back. A few weeks after the post, the city filled in the hole, and the next day, I was reassigned to a new parking lot.
My new space is a bit harder to get to but closer to the front door of headquarters, so it’s been something of a wash in terms of how much time my overall home-to-desk commute takes. One thing that hasn’t changed is the quality of the pavement. Last week, this appeared in the middle of the first aisle:

Apparently the massive weight of the traffic cone is too much for the asphalt. Gives great confidence that it can hold up my car. The next time you don’t hear from me for a few days, you’ll know where to look: the Abyss of Parking Lot A.
