Not that I truly believe in conspiracies, but I have always had a feeling that when it came to construction, it always has a little bit of a WSGW to it. WSGW stands for Where Sean Goes to Work.
In Ottawa, it seemed to be a never ending saga, and it didn't just revolve around work. If I went a certain way for a while, construction would all of sudden "pop-up", no notice, they'd just start ripping apart road. If I found a different route, they seemed to follow. If I found a quick way out of Barhavven, where my parents were at the time, they would have general meetings and discuss the many ways to make sure that my drive would have time to add to while one person worked and seven others stood around making sure my car was stuck in this mess.
Not driving to work in Calgary must have fooled them, for a while. I'm getting close to seven months here and in the past two weeks they have figured out my path. Walking to work as I do, I usually follow a couple of paths. Two weeks ago, they tore up a path that I take going home. Not a big deal, it just means I have to walk a little farther, adds a couple of minutes. This morning, I walked into my path to work being completely ripped up. Now, just going to the other side of the street would usually not be a big deal, but when the other side is the C-Train tracks or traffic, that can be a problem. I wouldn't have thought much of it, but when I passed by the construction (one guy working - eight standing around), one of the constructions guys gave me the thumbs up. It looked as it was to say "we found you!"
