"This isn't 'Nam. There are rules."

Here's the first paragraph of the email I received earlier today from University Housing:

"Juneau Construction plans to conduct a pre-dawn, concrete slab pour tomorrow morning. The concrete pour is scheduled to begin at 3:00am on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Set-up will occur before 3:00am. Set-up will likely include mobilization of the pump truck, minor crane operation, powering-up of light towers, and mobilization of manpower."

All right outside my window. Is President Mike reading my blog? Am I being punished?

"Mobilization of manpower?" Are we getting ready for war? And is there really such a thing as "minor crane operation?" If you're operating a freaking crane, you're operating a freaking crane. It's going to keep me up. That's just asking for me to liberate construction materials for my goats. Maybe a few leftover palettes. Or maybe even some new roof shingles for the goat house...
