Because if I had one, I’d probably have aimed it at the guy who was trimming the shrubs at 7:30 this morning. The intolerable buzz right next to my window not only woke me up, but collected all of my anger related to everytthing and centralized it into one mass that was capable of anything. Alas, I waited too long and shouted some stuff after the guy had already gone too far away, slamming my porch door a couple of times just to wake up whatever neighbors might have somehow managed to get over the shrub-trimming.
Woods Edges’ phone line would ring and then give a busy signal each time I called. Great; nice to know that in a real emergency, there is no way to contact anyone .I would have left a bitter message for them telling that I’d move the hell out of here if they ever woke me up for such an unnecessary thing ever again.
After having had to be at work at 8:30 yesterday, today was the last day I wanted to be up earlier than I needed to be. If I wake up early on my own, that’s great. But having the sound of a dentist’s drill at your window for no reason other than to have some shrubs trimmed is going to make me go berzerk.
