Hello,
so today is Anzac Day. It's about soldiers, like Remembrance Day. Anyway, I thought I would do a lot of homework and reading today, since I don't have to go to work.
But the house next door is under construction, and has been since I moved in. Anyway, today there are people working there. But the part that is really annoying, and bugs me when I am home during the day, is that they only appear to have one or two people working at any one time. This was the same at the last place I lived. They have too few workers, working too few hours (but apparently holidays are fine), so things take way too long. And as a neighbour, there is one hammering every seven minutes, which is very disruptive to thinking about public policy.
My message to these people is to hire an adequate number of staff and have clear timelines, and quit making all this noise when I am trying to study.
P.S - for those peace-lovers like myself, I have a happy story. Last weekend my friend Mona and I went to the town of Portland to visit my friend Lillian. Her friend Andy, has a radio show on the local community radio station and he asked if we would be his for the hour and a half. Mona is from the Middle East and I'm from Canada, and we met at an anti-war meeting in Melbourne. Anyway, we discussed Anzac Day in the face of the current wars that are being fought, specifically since Australia is in Iraq.
PPS- I am still mad at the construction.
