If you, like me, live somewhere near Josephine Ave and are presently not asleep because of the unholy, unidentifiable noise emanating from it:

It's sewer construction.

Yes, it's sewer construction at ten thirty at night. Apparently this work cannot be done during the day because there's more sewage in the pipes.

No, the police (whom I just called because, wtf) can't tell me how long it's going to last. I can call DPW and ask them, but they're not open at 10:30 at night.

The police assure me that someone in city hall authorized this, ergo they're not going to do anything about it. I can call my alderman, which sounds like a VERY GOOD IDEA. I'm half-tempted to call him right now, but probably that's because I went to bed an hour and a half ago and am not yet asleep, which makes all sorts of socially unpleasant things sound appealing.

If you're wondering why you never got notification that bizarre noisy work would be happening in the middle of the night, gosh! So am I!

This morning as in 3am or as in 9am?

I can sleep *through* just about anything, but I can't *fall asleep* so easily.

I was curious because the person I spoke to on the phone said that this work HAD TO be done at night, which was apparently not true. I can't tell you how much I would have preferred 7am to midnight (mostly because I was already at work by then ;).

Construction on Pearson Ave starts at 7:30 am. The city was really good this time with notification letters, both sent via post as well as left on doorsteps.
