A real pain in the asphalt

The light may be green but the sign says stop. I've been trying to get to work a little earlier each day but I keep running into construction. Normally it's not too bad, but this Wednesday it was a real pain in the ass. That's because they decided to strip a layer of asphalt from the intersection, creating a traffic jam at the most inopportune time for me. Below is a short video of the asphalt stripper/grinder thing-a-ma-jig blocking the intersection as it stripped away at the roadway.
