As good as drive-thru fun:

Voice: Hamilton County Roads and Bridges.
Me: Can you please connect me with the person I need to talk to about a missing street sign?
Voice: What street?
Me: The corner of 106th and Central. It's been missing for several weeks. It got knocked down.
Voice: Well, I'm sure it's on our Job Log.
Me: Can you check?
Voice: I don't have access to the Job Log.
Me: Can you connect me to someone who does?
Voice: No.
Me: Why not.
Voice: (exasperated tone) Because they're all in their trucks.
Me: Well, can you tell me how long it takes to get a street sign replaced?
Voice: 4 to 6 weeks, we have to order them.
Me: The pole got knocked down, the signs weren't damaged. Why didn't they just put the old signs on a new pole?
Voice: Because we have to order them.
Me: You order the poles?
Voice: We order the signs.
Me: Where from?
Voice: I don't know. They don't tell me.
Me: Who doesn't tell you?
Voice: The people who deliver the signs.
Me: Well, can you check to see if these have been ordered?
Voice: No.
Me: So, we just wait 4 to 6 weeks and see if it goes up.
Voice: Yes.
Me: And if it doesn't?
Voice: You call and report it, and I put it on the Job Log.
Me: You put it on the Job Log that you don't have access to?
Voice: Yes.
