Just a few questions about the construction taking place on Fenwick and Lucknow. WTF is taking so long!? and Why the fuck are all of you “workers” just sitting around all the time? Is this some sort of perpetual lunch break?! GET TO WORK! And get this shit outta my front yard already!
Oh, and why am I still paying out of my ass for rent? If I was told I would be living in ground zero I would have refused to sign the lease! This is horse shit!…..ok. i feel better already.

All you can do now is dig your heels in with some earplugs and a martini. Stick it out, bro!
Wasn’t there a bitch just like this (named the same too?) just a few weeks ago?
didn’t see that one Fever…may have been on a weekend though. I usually have better things to do on weekends.
as for OP, ‘ground zero’ shows no fucking class….
I will admit there are usually more ‘managers’ than workers but that big monstrosity was deliberate.
SOOOO…. I’m going to call you an idiot.
idiot.
Definition: Ground Zero
1. The target of a projectile, such as a missile or bomb.
2. The site directly below, directly above, or at the point of detonation of a nuclear weapon.
3. The center of rapid or intense development or change: “The neighborhood scarcely existed five years ago, but today it is the ground zero from which designer shops and restaurants radiate” (Robert Clark).
4. The starting point or most basic level: My client didn’t like my preliminary designs, so I returned to ground zero.
Usage of the term is legitimate IMO, barring the fact that development on Fenwick St. is neither rapid nor intense.
I have seen some workers there sitting in a car while reading a book and enjoying a cigarette. And seen it more than once! That’s the “beauty” of unionized labour I guess.
And the reality, OP, if you refused to sign the lease you would not be living there anyways. You’re not entitled to any type of discount and you made the choice to live there. HRM has apartments all over the city but you chose that one instead.
Stop your pointless bitching and put on some tunes. Maybe go get a cold 8-pack; NSLC is just through the parking lot.
What do you do on your breaks, NGF?
1. no missile or bomb
2. no weapons of mass destruction
3. no rapid change going on there, hence the bitch
4. it ain’t the starting point for nuthin’.
it’s a torn up road and it’s been torn up for fucking ever.
this usage of ground zero is idiotic.
Mole Rat – these “breaks” that the workers were taking lasted more than 30 minutes. That’s how long it roughly takes me to do a shopping trip to Sobeys and I typically walk right by the construction.
During my breaks? I don’t smoke so I go get myself a can of Fresca and look at the scenery. I have Spring Fever.
They prob get paid by the hour
