My amazing powers of intuition & understanding strike again!

I told you all about the darn radio tower that's being installed on the roof (almost directly on top of my office), right?

Well, they're not welding & making strange fumes anymore, but they are making a HELL of a lot of noise. Icky screeching noises (sounds like they're screwing metal to metal) and to my ears it sounds almost as bad fingernails on a chalkboard.

So I've been playing music all day in a futile attempt to drown out the screeching construction noises (and out of consideration of my neighbors I've been keeping it quite low).

One of my neighbors pokes her head in my door as she's passing down the hall and says (in a slightly-odd sort of voice) "Hey rosebee, keep it down, 'k".
So I turned my speakers down, especially once I saw her phone light go on.

I poked my head in her office a little while later and apologized for the noise I was making earlier.
Office neighbor lady got a strange look on her face (a kindly/curious almost like like "how obtuse are you") and said she was only joking.

Sigh.

Someday I will get this stuff. Just not today. And probably not tomorrow either.
