chomijiThey're working on the playground again ... .
It's even worse than it sounds: my office is about 3 feet below the grade in the courtyard, so the jackhammering is right about at shoulder level when I'm sitting at my desk - about 8 feet behind me and through a single layer of safety glass.
The guy who's doing it isn't wearing any ear protection, either.

Date: 2007-10-06 03:11 am (UTC)Yeah, it was really horrible there this morning ... and I was shell-shocked the rest of the day (still feeling it a bit). Honestly, I imagine that both the jackhammer guys and the guy who was later holding up a sheet of plywood to keep the concrete chips away from my window (and didn't that make a great noise ...) couldn't have much of their hearing left!

When they got really near the window, my desk was shaking.
