mmuuhhhh


about to head to bed(got a wierd rhythm) 7.30 am.. they decide its a good idea to continue whatever the fuck theyre doing to the building(Live in a huge apartment complex).

theyre replacing some of the girders i think? so theyre pretty much using hammer drills to drill directly against the buildings insides (dont know technical name lol).

When they were doing the far side it was bearable, but annoying(loud enough to wake me up and get me quite the headache, from 7ish to 4, 5 days a week) now they started working on this side too, its like having my head against an old american muscle car engine fully revving up, two of them(2 hammer drills per side it seems). Its so loud that with headphones on on near full volume it still drowns out most of whatever im listening to and its just like DDRRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDDRD

November trough febuary its going to last they say... Think ill go postal way before that, this is batshit lame.

I live a harold and kumar life as it is, cant get much more stoned than I already am. its just ridicilous that shit like that has to take near 4 months, its not like it seems to be a practical thing either, building isnt that old(nearing 40 years I think).

so they have 4 people working for 4 months... instead of just putting 20 or 25 people on the job and having it done in a week or 2>_>

first world problems I know, but damn I understand how sound can be a valid torture method now for sure

they cant see me from my balcony, only the 150ish people facing me on the other side of the building can lol. theres not much I can do except get some better earplugs I guess.

Gonna write a letter to the corp that rents it to me. its a state corporation kinda thing(not sure how to explain) asking for discount on my rent lol.. This is student housing, they cant just do this for 4 months(prolly an exam week somewhere in there too) and just think its ok.

That's the main reason why I don't miss my old apartment in the middle of a semi-medieval city Razz

Worst thing that can happen here in the countryside are the infamous "cats in love" sounds. Laughing (fortunately they're very rare)
