A Construction Musical

This morning at 7 I was woken by a musical of beeping bulldozers, backhoes, and even a couple dump trucks. 

First it was just one. The one beep I've heard just about every morning at about 7 or 7:30. I wake up and think its an alarm clock like I do every morning. Half asleep I angrily, and ever so dramatically, roll over. Like that will make them feel sorry for me and the beeping will stop or something. 

This is the same lovely construction that no one can figure out what the heck it is they are hoping to achieve and has made them make our sidewalk tiny (the one that leads to the magical land of Starbucks). Its also what got screwed up and caused a gas leak that lead to evacuation of my dorm last semester. Apparently, its just never going to be finished.

Anyway, I'm laying there, cussing out the construction in my head and roll over. Right when I'm about to fall back asleep the next round chimes in. My eyes pop open as I cringe listening to the two different pitched things beeping. And they go on and on and on. And again I think I can adjust to this and suddenly there are two more. 

This is not a large area. The place where this construction is happening isn't that freaken wide. So now I'm laying there annoyed and not only trying to fall back asleep but also trying to figure out how on earth they have fit this many large construction vehicles into this tiny area and why they all seem to be backing up at once. It was like construction Tetris. 

So, in the end, my alarm went off before I fell back asleep. 

The beeping stopped about 5 minutes after my alarm.
