I Hate Summer!

When everyone else is lauding all the attributes of summer I'm wishing it were any season but, well maybe not any, but as soon as the snow is melted and spring is in full throttle, so is all the construction. I had counseling this morning. I congratulated myself on leaving early so I wouldn't be rushing to get there on time. Yeah right. Detours all over downtown Green Bay. So my way was blocked and hindered due to construction and I got there with just a couple minutes to spare. It would be great to get through summer without construction somewhere. But the city has to be doing roadwork, and new buildings need to be built, and highways need work. It seems like we have two main seasons here - winter and construction. At least there's one good season I can rely on for beauty. Just too bad it's still six months away. Oh well. So ends my rant for the day. Is there a lot of construction going on where you are? Thanks for reading.

I was wondering why you didn´t like Summer, but I can understand now. I like sun, but I don´t like detours and roads blocked.

I also don't like heat. It's my least favorite season. I love winter.

I hear ya. We are having major bridge construction in the southern part of the city. It is a main artery of the city and so businesses and traffic are being affected big time. It will continue through the rest of the summer. Heck, the bridge was built in 1956 so it needs to be six lanes instead of two. Big difference.

@just4him ...Luckily this bridge is clear across town from me. I feel bad for those it does affect and the businesses over there.

It will be a plus when it's finished. We had a main road under construction all of two years ago. It didn't get finished until October just in time for football season.

Yes, construction is everywhere we go. It brings a lot of work to people, don't forget that.

Yes it does. I'm so afraid I'm going to hit those plastic barrels or cones on the highway.

I don't hate summer. I don't mind the hot weather so much. After all, we can be cool indoors. And we can have more interesting activities outdoors in summer, such as swimming. This is why I like summer. The weather is also nice.

We have two seasons here in Minnesota and maybe the same to you in Wisconsin: winter and construction season. Its awful! And why is it always several main roads at once? Grr

Yep, those are the two. Good question. But have you noticed everything is done in time for Football?

I don't like Summer because of the heat but there is also a lot of construction here too. And that is frustrating as well.

It always is, especially when you don't know about it ahead of time and you need to be somewhere by a specific time.

@silvermist I imagine they are. I prefer a simple rain to that kind of storm.

I've heard about your hot summers. I can understand you dislike them. I don't tolerate heat very well either.

I also dislike summer but this is the time too that roads and bridges are built and repaired. So, I will wait for the rainy season to cool down our place with the rain

We have a major apartment condo going up right downtown and the bridge was under repair or something so it was up and all traffic was being detoured.
