I’ve been a bit worried about one of my neighbors. Her car hasn’t moved in ages. Even when I was unemployed, I took the car out at least once a week to hit the grocery store. And I’m pretty sure hers hasn’t moved in two or three weeks. I know for a fact that it hasn’t moved since I had my emergency house guest back on the 29th ( Read more... )

What have I done to be cursed with neighbors who stomp around over my bedroom at 4:00 a.m. in the morning? Dude was barging noisily around up there for a good fifteen or twenty minutes last night. Woke me up and kept me up for quite a while. ARGH ( Read more... )

All well before 8:00 a.m. So no sleeping late for me. Urgh ( Read more... )

Oh gods, the upstairs neighbor has taken up playing the guitar. And singing.

BADLY.

This might be the goad I need to get my arse in gear and get back to work.

He's really horrible. And right over my head.
