Not-So-Good Vibrations
I’m sitting here trying to get some work done and there’s construction happening right outside my window. Last month the gutters on the opposite side of the street were replaced. This month is our side of the street. Not that there was anything wrong with the old gutters, but you have to use up your annual budget on something otherwise your department won’t get as much money this year.
Now the new gravel in the ditches is being pounded down with one of those pheumatic compactor thingies and the vibrations are shaking the entire house. It’s like living inside one the speakers onstage at a rave. The wood of the floor is transmitting the vibrations with uncanny fidelity, straight up through my chair and into my spinal column.
If I had less to do I might find some way to enjoy it but as it is it’s, er… distracting.
