holidays should mean days in peace

we are busy moving in. things turn out to be a little more complicated than we expected. the house needed some additional construction. we thought that could be done in not so long a time. but, as it turns out, in the residential estate we are going to live in, you can't have construction workers work on mondays, nights, or holidays. at first, i thought this is a rule by law -- and i condemned it: why should the country decides who and when to work? but anna told me, that it is our neighborhood estate's policy. why, asked i. because people who live there deserve quiet time. most of them work in jakarta, about an hour away from the complex. at night, on weekend, or holidays, they sure like to enjoy their home, away from works. and that means, no noise from construction, please. not to mention distraction to safety.

that, i agree. with a sorry to construction workers.
