Fucking outdoor maintenance at my apt. complex!

[kayx]

I know they have to go slowly, they're probably only making $3 per hour but jesus christ guys!

This is what they do:

1. walk around slowly with a leaf blower
2. attack the bushes with a weed whacker
3. walk around slowly with a leaf blower
4. use a riding lawnmower to cut the approx. 6x6 ft. squares of grass scattered throughout the complex
5. walk around slowly with a leaf blower
6. edge the sidewalks
7. walk around slowly with a leaf blower

As a person who works nights (who should be asleep right now, but is out of chemical helpers and can't deal with the noise because nobody in TX knows what the fuck insulation is so not only is it loud but it's warmer than I'd like but I'm not going to use the AC because I don't want a fucking $500 electric bill *breathes deeply*) I'm VERY pissed off!

Putting more people on the job would get it done faster = less or the same amt. of money paid out (if they're at an hourly rate...it's the only way I can think of to justify this inefficiency).
Doing numbers 2, 4, and 6 before walking around slowly with a leaf blower would be wonderful.

I know asking them to use a push mower for the grass patches is a bit much....but it would be nice. We really don't have much grass in the complex.

I cannot wait to buy a house.

i have the same fucking problem. i think that they are loitering around my place just to mess with me. i am going to climb on my roof with a gun and pick them off one by one. do they really have to start at 8 in the fucking morning. the leaf blower works exactly the same at 1!

They're labourers. I was one and it's not an easy job.

It would be a lot easier/less work if you did all of the stuff that gets little pieces of plant everywhere (mow/weed-whack/edge/trim bushes) before walking around with the leaf blower.

Would easily cut a few hours...

edit: when I typed you I didn't mean "you, the person I'm quoting/talking to", I meant it more like "you, the inefficient maintenance workers, the people I was describing in my earlier post."
