Contruction or Destruction?

For the past couple of weeks, there has been road 'construction' on my way to work. I have no idea exactly what they're doing. But, it has disrupted the traffic in the Hagåtña area. For example, the road leading up the hill by McDonald's(I have no clue what it's named). The access to this road has been blocked off on both ends, by orange cones. This confuses people, I think. I've been getting calls inquiring about how one is to get in to our complex, on a daily basis.

Yes, road construction has to be done. But, I believe that... A.) This kind of work should be done in the evening hours, when the businesses are closed for the day(granted, our office is the only one on the hill) and when there would be less traffic... i.e., less stupid people to confuse. And, B.) The access to our office should be made accessible to the public - It is only at one end of the road. If a corner were to be left open, people would be less confused.

It seems like there has been more 'destruction' going on, though. As soon as the work started, the sewage system in the office has been disrupted. Our bathrooms backed up for two days in a row and had to be dealt with. In an office run by a staff made up majorly of women, bathrooms are necessary! That was problem number one. Problem number two, a couple of days after they tore up the roads, a couple of our phone lines went down and had to be repaired.

Now, here's a major problem that I feel was handled incorrectly. Yesterday, at around 11:15am, a woman walked in to the office and asked what we were doing here. The obvious answer being, "We work here!" It turns out that, right at the bottom of the driveway, while digging up the road, the workers found, what was suspected to be, a WWII explosive device. A FREAKIN' BOMB! They found a bomb! Do you think they informed us? NO! Now, I'm no expert on explosives. But, it has been my experience(yes, there have been many) that when they find such a device, they evacuate the immediate area. Living on an island where such things are unearthed every time there is this sort of project, you come to recognize the procedure. What if the device was live and had exploded while we were in the office? Couldn't there be injuries? I mean, these things were made for maiming(if not killing) people! Come on people... what about the safety of those working around the area?

If that wasn't enough drama for the week.... Today, the same crew managed to hit a water pipe while digging around the same area that the bomb was found in. I mean... if said bomb was still there, maybe this would have helped. But, instead, it made our time before lunch, a bit miserable! Again, we are an office with a predominantly female staff. So, what you had today was a bunch of women, walking around, complaining to each other and the deacon(the only male in the office) that we needed to urinate.

Thank the Lord, the water came back on after lunch, the bomb was hulled away yesterday. But, really... What the heck is going on? Can we finish the drama, complete the work, and get back to normal?
