Waking up

[MissHoneychurch]

to the "beautiful" sound of drilling and other loud working isn't really the best thing to get a good start into the day.

OK, why do workers have to start this shit (yes I say that word!!!) at 7.30 in the morning??????? :mad:

[chknltl]

1. There you are! Good Morning Miss H

I have been thinking about you....



(Ok so I have a scheme here which requires an address...some damn fine tea will follow shortly)

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Check your pm

:hug:

[chknltl]

15. I'm back...I've been needfully distracted....

Check your PM box...if you say OK then I'll get things started soon.

[gr8dane_daddy]

2. I"d like to start my drill at 7:30am in the morning?

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Does your drill make as much sound??

or you while using it??? :evilgrin:

[gr8dane_daddy]

5. Usually starts up quietly before I start actually drilling...

then there's a loud-whispered gasp, followed by rhythmic Rrrrrmmmmmm, Rrrrrrmmmm and a few curse words here and there.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. That is so ...

so manly

[gr8dane_daddy]

12. Grunt, grunt...

me man, you woman

[Robeson]

6. I'm sorry MissHoneychurch. That is the shits....

...I can sympathize: Mrs. Robeson and I - as you may remember - are both night people. We've been getting our bathroom redone upstairs because our shower was leaking all over the place. The crew shows up every morning around 7:00 AM. They're banging, beating, and raising hell from the time they come in the house, after we both have had about 2 hours of sleep. This has been a 2 week ordeal in which we both are ready for it to end...:hangover:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Oh no

that is horrible!!!

How do you survive??? I would call that torture!!

:hug:

[Robeson]

17. It is torture, especially since they finished last week, and we waited...

...for the shower to dry like they told us to. This past weekend, we took a shower, and all the tile started to come back up, along with all the grout. So they are back again this week, and we're going through this all over again....:banghead:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Oh no!!

you aren't able to take showers at the moment???? And they messed up and have to redo it???? Oh joy .....

How is MrsRobeson doing btw?? Tell her hello from me

[Robeson]

24. She's doing better, and her leg is healing....

...right now, we're taking baths in our downstairs bathtub. Can't wait till we have our shower back!!

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. They just poured the foundation for a new house..

about ten feet from my bedroom wall. I feel for you.. The next couple of months should be fantastic. </sarcasm>

And about why they start so early.. Doing construction sucks when it is dark out. Sometimes you have to do 10 to 12 hour days to get things done on time.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. But 7.30AM??

it is barely light outside!!

Oh and you will have a lot of fun the next weeks. Fortunately most of the time of the day I am at work myself.

[Omphaloskepsis]

18. I work from home..

I bought a nice pair of headphones and will rock-the-fuck-out until they are done.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Sunday evening I went home from my mom with the train

the first train, which is like a subway was full with carneval groups :scared: making A LOT of noise, singing strange songs. And soooo loud that I couldn't listen to my music I had on (which was The Wall by Pink Floyd). Sometimes headphones don't oversound the other sounds you don't wanna listen to.

[Omphaloskepsis]

25. If my Sony earbuds fail me I will go to confront the noise makers with violence..

And then I will go into the restroom to fix my hair and be reminded I'm 135 pounds. And then I will crawl back into bed and cuddle with my pillow and deal with the interruption.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Want me to come over then

and heal your wounds? :evilgrin:

[Omphaloskepsis]

28. Bring a space heater.

Mine died last night. My room is 38 degrees right now.. Jesus, it is so cold.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. On the other hand

I bet you're cute as all hell when you wake up. :loveya:

[gr8dane_daddy]

9. She is...

at least that's what I've been told... :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Nice save

I was about to pummel you to bits in a rit of fealo... uh, a fit of jealous rage.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. YAWN!!!

[gr8dane_daddy]

19. Insert crude comment here...

looks comfy

[MissHoneychurch]

20. A crude comment????

why????


the kitten is female btw :D

[gr8dane_daddy]

23. something that rhymes with lucy...

cute cat...

and who gets to be the lucky photographer by the way??????

[MissHoneychurch]

26. AirmensMom took the pic

so you relax!!! :D

[gr8dane_daddy]

29. grunt, grunt...

:argh:

[AirmensMom]

34. And she ain't no kitten.

She just had her 10th birthday last month. :loveya:

[chknltl]

30. OMG your cat looks exactly like one I once had.

Except mine was a boy named Chuckanut...Chuckies for short. He used to sleep with me too. I confess I miss him even though it has been about 4 years now...he lived to be about 15. You are lucky to have a cat on duty to keep you safe while you sleep. I have a dog nowadays who is happy to share her food with the random mouse who sneaks in...Chuckanut would never have stood for such nonsense!

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Unfortunately it isn't my cat

but AirmensMom's. Sophie (the cat's name) was a rent-a-cat so to speak while I visited MissAirmens last September.

[AirmensMom]

35. We call her

The Vacation Cat. :rofl: She belongs to anyone who visits ... and tells them her tale of woe, how she never gets any attention. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. And I hope she lives up to her name

when I come visit again :D

[AirmensMom]

44. She has never let us down in that area.

She's here right now trying to type, "Hello, MissHC! I miss you! MissAirmens never cuddles or pets me!" (Of course, I'm cuddling and petting her at this minute, but that doesn't count -- it never does.)
:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

32. Going to sleep

:hug: :boring:

I'm sure to hear loud drilling after I am asleep for a couple of hours. Workers trying to locate a gas leak have dug up many yards of street in front of my house. They are not done yet. x(

tschüß :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Hey SwampRat

Good to see you! How are you doing?

They still haven't found the gas leak?? they better hurry up before something happens.

[AirmensMom]

33. It's all a matter of perspective.

It would be a beautiful sound if they were working on something you had wanted all your life ... as in, "they're FINALLY getting their asses in gear after xx years!" But it doesn't sound like that, so it was just damn rude of them. :grr:


Uh .... Good Morning anyway. :D


:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Callalily]

40. Morning AirmensMom!

So glad to see you. And speaking of construction, how is your project going? Do you have a move-in date yet?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

42. Good Morning, SF!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Glad to see you, too! The house is coming along. They're doing pre-electrical and pre-plumbing this week to get it ready for insulation next week. No move-in date yet. It feels like we'll be stuck in this rental forever. :(

[Callalily]

45. Well, it does sound

like progress is being made, which is good. You wouldn't want to rush them and end up with a shoddy job. You'll get out of that rental soon, I just know it.

[AirmensMom]

48. That it is.

It's just been such a long haul and I'm getting impatient. I sure don't want them to rush, and at least they've been working on it. It's even harder when there's no one doing anything, like during the holidays for almost 3 weeks.

Thanks. I'll certainly tell you when we get our move-in date. :hug: :pals:

How are you doing? I hope you find a way to stay warm. It's been cold here, but not as bad as what you're getting.

[Callalily]

52. Oh I'm doing

fine, thanks for asking. My life has been quite uneventful lately, which I guess is good.

I see by the clock I have to run out and start my car for a quick warm-up, then heading out to work. Wishing you a great day, and hope to be talking to you soon.

[AirmensMom]

54. Uneventful can be very good.

I'd go for a little of that.

Have a great day and stay warm. Here's a cup of java to help. :donut:

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Good morning MissAirmens

I don't even know what they were doing. It just sucked that they did it that early.

[AirmensMom]

43. It did suck.

:( I hope they have better manners tomorrow. :hug:

[PVnRT]

37. For one, they can get more daylight hours worked

Second, in the summer, they start even earlier because it tends to get a little hot in the afternoon.

[AirmensMom]

56. Our guys don't show up until around 8:30-9:00.

Sometimes later. But they work later, too. I wanted to get there before they started on something a few weeks ago, so I arrived just around sunrise at about 7:30. I waited for two hours before anyone showed up. After that, I asked what time they'd be there in the morning.

[Callalily]

39. Morning MissH!

Sorry to hear about your rude awakening, but construction guys are on a whole different timetable than the rest of us. I have a friend who works construction. He gets to the site while it's still dark, sleeps for a bit in his truck, and as soon as light breaks, he (and his crew) start working. Me? I'd rather stay in bed!

I suspect you've heard about our deep freeze here in the Midwest? Right now the temps -10F with a chill factor of -29. My office was so cold yesterday I couldn't event use it. I had plants on the windowsill which I'm sure froze to death. I moved them and just hope I wasn't too late.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

46. Oh my, SF ...

-10 is bad enough, but -29 with chill factor? Brrrrr! That's just too cold for words.

:hug:

[Callalily]

50. Yes, this is

far too cold. The whole Midwest is getting that good old Arctic blast. By end of the week though we're supposed to be up into the single digits! It'll seem like a heat wave compared to this.

[AirmensMom]

53. I know what you mean.

We lived above Watertown, NY after we were married and it got to -40 that year. After that, 0 felt warm enough for a light jacket. Brrrr! We haven't hit single digits yet, but we've come close at night. I'm sure glad Phil didn't see his shadow! Now get us to that early spring!

:hug: :lovey:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Brrrrr ... that is cold

we "only" have temps in the 40s. I really hope your plants survived.

I can understand that the constucters have to get up early to get their stuff done. But it really sounded like they worked right next to my bed. And I rather wake up to the sound of my radio than to drilling and I don't know what else. I just hope they are finishing today - whatever they are doing - and I don't have to wake up to the same sound tomorrow.

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Callalily]

49. Yes, this is far

too cold for even me. I let my car run for about five minutes before I head out and it still feels stiff.

Hopefully the construction workers are done, and you can ease out of your restful sleep on your own tomorrow morning. Definitely not a pleasant way to wake up. Hmmmm . . . unless they are nice on the eyes?

[MissHoneychurch]

51. No idea how they look

I live on the fifth floor and didn't see a thing. Just heard it.

I hope that freezing weather passes you soon and you go back to normal. But what is normal this winter???

[Callalily]

55. I don't think

anyone in the world will be experiencing normal weather anymore. It's just crazy.

Gotta head out for work. Wishing you a great day, and I hope tomorrow morning that you can wake up on your own.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Now waking up with someone in my bed would be nice

but that won't happen till tomorrow morning .... oh wait, you ment not waking up to strange noises :hide:


:rofl:

You have a good day today and try to stay warm

:hug: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

58. You're going to wake up

with someone in your bed tomorrow morning? Why am I the last to know? :cry:


:rofl: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Don't start any rumors

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

60. I didn't start.

YOU did!

"Now waking up with someone in my bed would be nice but that won't happen till tomorrow morning ..." So, MissHC, exactly what is happening tomorrow morning? The world wants to know.

:rofl:
