I'd just be happy if they'd start when the signs go up and stay there until complete. Round here, signs go up but no work just delays. Then they get around to it eventually but even then it's like 9 months depending on the job I suspect it's all budget based. Start the job during a budget cycle then get to it when crews are freed up.

There's a lot of reasons, sometimes you're waiting for a DOT inspector to bless off on something before you can move on, sometimes it just rained and you can't get proper compaction until the moisture level comes back down, or it could be as simple as man hours have already been used up for key operators for the week and they might not want overtime. lately I suspect unexpected delays are from supply shortages for culvert pipe or whatever. I use arch linux btw.

Lol oh my god love the ending. I use arch... I'm not that awesome. I love my mint. But it's 100% at home. Winders at work.

meh, don't worry about arch users looking down on you. The whole point is to enjoy your computer, as long as your distro provides an enjoyable experience then who cares? Windows provides the most frustrating experience for me, but i totally get why my employer uses it on all workstations.
