It’s really not good for one’s mood to start the day infuriated, which is what I am right now. This marks the second day this week where I’ve been forced to get up a half hour earlier than I’d like to thanks to the upstairs neighbors.<\/p>\n
When I mentioned in passing to a woman in our management office that the floorboards above us, particularly in the bedroom, seemed to creak abnormally loud, she said she’d put in a maintenance request. As it was explained to me, over time the floorboards got loose, and they could tighten them to prevent so much noise. That was two weeks ago, and I didn’t notice any difference. So the other day I submitted a maintenance request of my own.<\/p>\n
The maintenance man left me a message saying he’d look into it for me. He explained that they usually don’t tighten the floorboards until a resident moves out. Lot of good that does me, considering the fact that in a prior conversation, he said that our upstairs neighbors had lived there for several years. In his message he said he’d see how receptive they were to moving their furniture out of the way so they could do the work. Somehow I doubt they will be. Personally, I don’t think they should have a choice in the matter. I pay just as much rent (probably more) than they do, and I have the right to get a decent night’s rest.<\/p>\n
Plus they walk around excessively. I’m not joking. One night Joe and I laid in bed and listened as they walked back and forth for no less than two hours straight. WTF? How does someone walk from their kitchen\/living room to their bedroom again and again and again in a 800 square apartment for two hours? I just don’t get it. And you’d think the woman weighed 500 lbs. from the type of noise she makes, when in fact she could weigh no more than 110 lbs. (I’ve seen her). I think she walks heel first or something.<\/p>\n
I’m going to ask my manager today if I can move my shift to start (and subsequently leave) a half hour earlier. If I’m going to be getting up at 6 am anyway, I might as well benefit from it in some way. I really can’t wait to get a house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
