Is Midnight...

really the best time to rip up a sidewalk?
I mean, seriously. I'm not sleeping, cause I don't think I've been in bed before midnight since, uh, never (ask my mom. She used to tell me, "Okay, I'm going to bed," and my little seven-year-old self would say, "Okay, I'm just going to stay up and read a little longer.").
So anyway. I'm not trying to sleep. But I AM trying to watch the DVR of my Thursday night shows and I. Can't. Hear.
They started at around 8. Which? WHY??? Why perform a very very very very very noisy event that involves jackhammers and bulldozers when everyone is trying to be cozy and eat a nice dinner and watch Thursday night TV? Why aren't they doing these things during the day? And why are these nice men who said hi when I brought out the trash not at home asleep?

ROADWORK IS NOT A NIGHTTIME ACTIVITY. IT IS LOUD. GO TO BED.
