Waiting for work

I haven't had much chance to take pics lately. Too busy at work so it's another 'shot from the taxi'

I got a clear pic of these ladies sitting on the street corner waiting for work but I preferred this one.. It seems to enhance the futile looks in their faces. They sit here with their little signs (which say what work they do) and wait for someone to come past who is in need of their skills.

I don't know what the characters say but I will endeavour to find out.

EDIT: The top sign say.. Paint stuff white.. The second one says paint stuff and the third says housecleaning.
