Delay in commissions.
7 years ago
Due to gentrification, because fuck the poor, the city is pile-driving a few meters from my front door.
Besides already existing damage to my house (and it's only been a few days) I'm also worried about the effects it might have on my harddisks; I hope I can mitigate the damage by turning off my PC while they work, but that means I'm losing several hours worth of working time every day.
I hope people will understand, because the constant noise, vibrations and the damage is making my anxiety spike something fierce, every day. And I know that getting the city/construction company to cover ANY damage is going to be like pulling teeth, so I'm worried about ending up with a condemned house AND a mortgage. Super fun.
It's like that scene from Jurassic Park, but scarier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seKMZzoBdmA
Please no "OMG LAWSUITE" comments, it's reductive and dismissive because I'm not in the US and non-local legal information doesn't help.

I hope they finish soon so they can just GO AWAY
You come first, in the end. Take your time and do what's best and safest for you first, worry about your commissions later, I say.
