Coffee's not doing the trick this morning. My new alarm clock is the power company setting up roadworks signs right in front of my place, they're replacing power lines around the corner. Who knew setting up those signs required such extensive banging. Yesterday it was the council ripping up some of the footpath across the road at 7am. There's some kind of construction blitz going on right now, I just want to get a decent sleep.
