LOL, neighbour cut sick at the machine operator who started 15 min early this morning.

Don’t blame her.

The build next door has been starting earlier than they should, but I'm already up and I'd prefer they just finished. I feel like they're pressing to get it done for xmas.

We have an odd situation next door where our complex and another party co-own a space. I don’t know exactly why, but the concrete sits on top of a parking entrance that runs underground and it needed repairs or whatever…

There was a disagreement over how much each party would pay and I think it dragged so much that our complex gave in and well, had to pay more than they wanted.

This should have been a three month job—that was what we were told.

I don’t know who on earth hired this company, but there have been minimal workers onsite. Machinery starts first thing the morning, but by early afternoon it sounds like no-one is working. Conversations have been heard and apparently there was quite a cock-up yesterday because the workers didn’t listen to instruction.

The whole thing is a joke. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were on-going issues and they’ll have to come back to fix it more than once. The hiring for a mil+ job is confusing to me.

How on earth a bunch of muppets got the contract is beyond me.
