monumental, indeed

"What are you doing? Having to prove work?"

"No. I don't have to prove work. I need to count signs."

"For who?"

"Well, the boss asked and I kind of want to know for myself."

"What for?"

"While I kind of think it was a monumental thing, putting signs up in a whole neighborhood."

"Well, you're the only one that cares."

Listen, if folks want to pay me my regular salary for counting. I'm going to gladly count.
