I Can't Hear Myself Think

THERE’S A HUGE FUCKING DRILL BEING OPERATED NOT TWENTY FEET OUTSIDE MY OFFICE WINDOW. I MEAN BIG- THEY’RE DRILLING FOUNDATION HOLES FOR A NEW CONDO. I’M GOING NUTS HERE, AND I CAN’T… ah, cool, they stopped for a few minutes.

This is ridiculous- my whole office shakes when they’re running that damn thing. I can’t get any work done… and I’m sure they’re not going to be done any time soon. I just posted a pic of the view out my office window right here.

OH CRAP… THEY STARTED THE DAMN THING UP AGAIN.

So when do they start piledriving?

Damn. Will they let you telecommute for a couple days until they get done drilling?

Of course, when they finish up with the drilling they’ll find some other way to use construction equipment to achieve eardrum-shattering decibel levels, no doubt.

[FONT=Arial]Blame Bush. Production on all the Big Ass Drill Titanium Silencer Modules has been suspended due to TWAT.

It’s so quiet round here right now all I can hear is my tinnitus whistling away.

It’s so quiet, I can hear your tinnitus whistling!

Oh, I feel your pain. They have torn up the street outside our office for God only knows what reason. They repaved the whole thing (which is one of the busiest streets/intersections in town) which has involved them jackhammering just about every day.

Plus the pain of not being able to easily get in and out of our office.

A huge building was built across the street from the building I worked in that resulted in pile drivers running all day long every day for two months.

You can imagine how grateful I was that I worked on the far side of my building from the construction. BAM…BAM…BAM…BAM…over and over and over and over.

I feel your pain!
