I’m fed up with know-it-alls and messed up rationales. If I were a lesser (or ballsier?) person, I’d tell ‘em to fuck themselves.

All of them, I say!

Hrmmmph.

(make a “get off my lawn” comment and I’ll cut ya )

Congrats to K!

I'm on a day-long self-imposed hiatus from all things political and covidical...well, as much as possible

To the neighbor who decided to start running a table saw at 7:10 AM on Sunday morning, with all the love in my heart I say FUCK YOU.

Quietly worrying about a job interview that I have lined up for Thursday. Pondering what further preparations I could make. Deep breaths here.

You win. I'm sorry. 

Have you researched the company you will be interviewing with? Maybe have a list of questions for them if asked? 

ConorKavanagh

No need to be sorry. I think yours might be similar to a problem I have. I live in the countryside. It's very quiet all day, except for first thing in the a.m, approx. 7:30, the field across my road has a bunch of machinery in it that the guy hires out. So every morning on weekdays there's a huge commotion that wakes me up. Good thing I'm an early riser anyway!

I already work for the organisation I am interviewing for. A lot of these jobs that are internally advertised, it doesn't matter what you say sometimes, they just have it decided already who they want for the job. However, still have to try!

It's great that you already work for the company!  

I do not live in the country.  I live in the suburban part of a city.  City blocks.  Postage stamp sized lots.  Dead end block.  Quiet neighborhood-- generally.  (It is in the flight path of a small airport with our property the beginning of final descent.)  Someone let off a few fireworks at 3 AM.  Just a few and they were done.  Homeowner old dude on the back lot either has the table saw, the impact drill or has been hammering something this morning.  Only more annoying is when the Army decides to do take off and landing practice of the giant helicopters in the morning and overnight.  That is maybe twice a year though. My whole house shakes.

Wow. I actually couldn't handle that at all. If you're studying/working during the regular 9 - 5 time cycle, you absolutely need to get your sleep at night. I work unsocial hours, but I still get to sleep most nights shortly after midnight, because otherwise my mind will start to play tricks on me. So all around you there's just people everywhere?

deadendp

There are, but while we socialize, it's not like we're close enough to knock on the window from our home and ask for a cup of sugar.  We help each other, laugh at and with each other and in a few cases, choose to ignore a neighbor.  (Mine next door.  He is some sort of special.  We put up a fence.  I did a bit of painting on it last year.  I admit that the painting is not so great and an incredible FUCK YOU to him, but this year I will do some painting to fix the mess I created.  I ended up with terrible bronchitis most of last summer, so it had to wait until better weather came along to be finished anyhow.  I did plant 40' of fence line in perennials though.  Some *may* have the habit to reseed plentifully, especially when winds come through. Botanical warfare. )

If you zoom in, you can see how close the houses are.

It’s funny what you can learn to tune out. Living in NYC I hardly pay attention to the loud street noises anymore - cars honking, street cleaners going by early in the morning, drunk people screaming at 4:00am outside after the bars close. This barely catches my attention. However, if my upstairs neighbor just even taps on my ceiling it drives me nuts. Luckily it doesn’t happen that often.

That looks like a nice neighbourhood @deadendp.... provided everyone is on the same page! I guess the most important thing is, as I learned in A.A, to keep your side of the street clean! That way trouble will be slower to find you. Is that a badminton net or something?

Volleyball net. (Probably the same thing.) We have it folded in half because we don't have the room for a full net. 

It's a very wise saying. Dude has been a pain since we moved in. He thinks he can either schmooze you, bully you or just take over and get whatever he wants. Um, no. We stopped taking his shit and then we are the bad guys. Oh, well. I wish him well, but it doesn't mean I wish to be friends with him. If he were injured, I wouldn't hesitate to help. If he were hot, I'm not going to go offer him a cold glass of lemonade.
