"I like what you're doing...but..."

It's been one of those idiotic days today.

The day out at the project started off being standard. I arrived out there to see that only Richard was there. Not too long after I got there, Darren showed up. Pretty much all we did was screw in some support beams to support the roof on the second "shed". That wasn't completed, though, because we soon left on a road trip. It wasn't much of a trip. We were getting this large van off of the land. The van is being turned into a temporary home for Richard and his family.

This is where the idiotic part came in.

A guy pulled up to the land in his car just before we were about to depart in the large van and started telling Richard a whole load of complete and utter bullshit. He was whining about everything we were doing and that the cockerels were keeping him awake at night. They're going to be gone soon anyway.

He then whined about language out on the woodlands. Apparently, many of the youths have been swearing extremely loudly. He claims that because of that, a lot of local kids have started swearing, too. If this HAS happened, then it's happened at times that I haven't been out there because the only thing I've ever heard yelled out is "MODERN WARFARE!" and just random noises. Nothing that could be considered swearing. There has been swearing on the land, but it's never been loud.

Another thing he whined about was planning for everything out on the land. He told us he'd called the council about planning and all and was told that Richard told them nothing. Funny - Richard had a meeting with them today about it all. How could they not have heard anything? I honestly think the guy lied about actually calling them and does not want us around in that area.

He claimed that he likes what we're doing but was saying he hates everything we're doing.

I've got to say it's honestly fucking stupid how many people say they love what we're doing, yet bitch and moan about everything that we're doing. If you like what we're doing, then shut the fuck up and let us get on with it instead of trying to hinder our progress. We already lost six months of work because of one fucking dickhead; we don't need MORE work lost because of people having some retarded problem with us.

I wonder if the planners Richard met with today ended up bringing up complaints from that fucking asshole. I'm sure it was probably mentioned. Even if he never called them, I'm sure someone else called and lodged idiotic complaints.
