Roadworks - grr


I have a little pet pieve sitting stuck in road works, especially the ones that take soooo long to do...and we have a few like that, with the new alingments of the roads and a new highway thing going in......but Ive gotten use to that now, as i travel over it everyday I go to work...




But then they decide to randomly just do something in front of your house that has never ever had road works done on them before - thats when you get a bit ticked off....and most people who know me know i have been living in my house since i was 2 yrs old - thats 20 yrs now...

I always thought that you were meant to be given notice of such things....my mum rang the council to complain whom said that yes notice was meant to have been given - and they would forward it onto roading *rolls eyes* in other words its a thats nice dear we dont care kinda reply..lol I say!

When you ask the workers how much longer they are going to be and why notice wasnt given that just shake there head, shrug their shoulders and ignore you acting like they cant hear you - this is when all the noise has stopped...

Residence of my street - those that have been here for as long as we have or less - have come to learn that othing exciting ever happens on our street.....the last time anything happened that had people getting in their cars and driving down was when they had a rescue helicopter down at the beach with a naked guy and a whole pile of police about 4-5 yrs ago...


Its now a process of getting use to chip seal than smooth seal - and doing a funny run across the road in bare feet! Guess I wont be able to go fast on my road with all the lose chips that will be flying off now..




What i find amusing is that only last week they have just refreshed the road markings - what a waste of money and paint that was...
