No sleep for the wicked
Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. FML

Today, I got out of my house at 6:30am to find that some road workers had dug out a trench in the road right in front of my driveway, then fucked off, leaving their van up the street. There are no buses within walking distance so I missed a full day of work and my boss is pissed. FML

Today, in the early hours of the morning, a worker started drilling the road right in front of my window. He stopped 5 minutes before my alarm clock rang. FML

I'm only sleeping
Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML

Our house, in the middle of our street
Today, I was late for work again because of road workers in front of my house parking me in. This has been going on since February, and will be until August, "Weather permitting." FML

Not helping
Today, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML

Knock it down, boys
Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML

Out of the frying pan into a similar frying pan
Today, they're jackhammering through concrete walls at my workplace in order to build an addition. I'm allowed to work from home… but I live right next to where they're jackhammering down a concrete garage. FML

GET UP
Today, I left the apartment door open so the construction workers sent by our landlord could work in the kitchen, while I slept in after working a late shift. They knocked on the bedroom door at 7 a.m., asking me to move the bed. FML

Noise cancelling anyone?
Today, just like every workday for the last 6 months, the construction workers in my building made loud noises in the morning and woke me up almost 2 hours before I would otherwise have to get up. This will continue for one more year. I'm not a morning person, and I live in a protected historical building. FML

No, what she is trying to say is that they are paving the graveyard, which is going to make digging graves very difficult.

Are we to infer they were making a lot of noise while you were trying to sleep? Don't make us work so hard, just say it, lady!

Paving during the day? That must be terrible.

Road work where I live is done at night, pretty odd sight if you ask me.

Invest in earbuds. People don’t understand the graveyard shift. I’m sorry.

I understand it just fine — I too work the shift. World doesn’t revolve around graveyard shift. Sucks but you better get used to it.
