Seriously though, that sounds freaking awful. Props to you for not going berserk, I guess?
It coulda become a scene straight out of DF if you were holding digging equipment at the time. Were there seven people on your team? Sounds like the tourists could have easily been goblins or crazy traders with pathing issues with their wagons.
(Is that the Tiffany Falls in Canada? At first it looked kinda rainforest-y to me. Very nice!)

And yes, it is! Good eye. I was back there today to water the sod we put down. Much less frustrating, mostly because it was 8 am, and normal humans are doing something else at that time probably.

Working hours have been changed. I now start much later and leave much later. I will also not have a definite way to and from work because of this.

[Orange Wizard]

That sounds like a problem. I assume driving isn't possible?

No license, so I'll have to bus it, I guess. My college bus pass is still good, at least.

Have you thought of maybe buying a scooter (moped) or bicycle?

I'd rather not be on the road unless in a car. The roads aren't large enough for cars to pass cyclists without moving into the oncoming lane.

No sidewalks around the area either.

I kept using the same (properly cracked) copy of WinRar for like 15 years. But eventually I moved to 7zip because I often have to deploy it to customers and it's way easier to find it in the minefield of bundled download search results on Google and

Huh, oddly most of the people I come across end up arrested for counts of buggering various things and people, including their parole officer. That level of unprofessionalism is not acceptable.

...buggering? Unprofessional indeed.

Hey, making right-hand turns without indicating is just as annoying here (and in the vast majority of the world) as it is in the UK.
...I assume you're from the UK, anyway. Only place I know of off the top of my head that drives on the left-hand side.

Well, it was doomed from the start, but the religious study a couple friends of mine started finally imploded. I had really only been going because I don't see them all that often anymore, and only even got a word in every now and again between the two of them. Anyway, another friend of mine decided he'd come to it today to test the waters, out of curiosity mostly. I'm of a different denomination than the other two, and when we disagreed it was kept calm and civil. I told him so, and he decided to come. He is Muslim. And they were not civil. I might go next week if they still do it, but my hopes aren't terribly high and I've kinda soured on the whole thing besides.

New Zealand, actually. It's kind of like Canada, all tucked away down at the bottom of the world...

Canada is a hat, not pants.
