Dear workers on the house next door: I am planning your murder

seeker007nmss · #1 05-13-2006, 08:07 PM

Can I B*tch now too? I just called into work because I am mega sick and don't want to spread it to everyone else, (just got back from the doc's with meds,) and got the the condensending "okay if you are really sick tone" from work when I said I couldn't come in. I called 9 hours early so they can replace me, and i get "the attitude". I uber rarely call in, and then only if I am really sick. Okay enough of my babbling and back to morning noises.....

Don't you hate that!!! We usually get "If you're sick you're sick" but it always seems to come with a twinge of the "Yeah right you faker!" tone to it.

1 - Amby - is there a noise ordinance in your town? I'd call the cops.

Seriously, I would. It's usually 8:30 or 9 am until 10 or 11 pm.

2 - Peacocks? Loud & weird sounding, scares the **** out of you. We stayed at a B&B in Utah during our cross country trip in 2000 & there were 2 peacocks there. Good God.

Theresa - maybe we won't be coming to visit.

3 - Jim - that sucks. I hate how people are always saying "if you're sick you're no good to us" or "stay home if you're sick, so you don't give it to anyone else." But when you DO call off, they're all "well, are you sure you can't make it?" or act all nasty. Jerkasses.

Jim, that's so lame, especially if you hardly ever call in sick.

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie.

And of course you can bitch in my thread! Silly.

Paula - I looked for Oakland's noise ordinance online first thing, and no applicable ordinance came up. There was one, but it was for big building projects. I was thinking the police office would know the noise ordinance, but I haven't called yet.

Poor Mark, first the border, visiting another Mac fanatic and now the peacock that thinks it's a rooster

I forgot to tell you that it (the peacock) also scratched the **** out of my new car. We think it was trying to see it's reflection in the tinted side window and was jumping up and down to see itself (they do jump). The other morning I looked out my window and it was sitting on top of the hydro lines along the road (I guess they fly too

).

The feathers are cool though.

i really hate that ****. my boss pulled that with me a couple weeks ago; i came into work and felt (and apparently looked) like ****, so i got sent home, and the next day my boss yelled at me because i screwed people over and i'm selfish or whatever ... nevermind that i've never called off and i've been working there for a year. ALSO nevermind the fact that back in november, i was walking to work and GOT HIT BY A CAR on my way there and STILL WENT TO WORK that night!!!!! and didn't miss work at all after that, when i really should have been lying in bed for, like, 4 weeks straight. grr. anyway, i hope you feel better.

amber - sorry those bastards woke you up this a.m., but that was a pretty fabulous story.

seriously, dawg. i don't recommend it. it was bizarre - it turned out it was a girl i went to school with, and after she got out of her car (and off of her phone), she said "sorry, carly!!" wtf. if you're going to hit me with a car ... you could get my name right!

Cool story

I got woken up only this very day at 8am by my next-door neighbour mowing his damn lawn. At 8am. Who the hell does that? Mind you, it rained pretty soon after, so maybe he had a hotline to the Man Upstairs. Anyway, he pissed me off.

And my little van is in the midst of an engine failure, so I can't work and I can't afford to fix it

Sorry about your van.

And I know what you mean about lawn mowing. My neighbor likes to mow his after dark, which was great when I used to go to bed by 9 to wake up by 5am.

Their kids are running around screaming outside at all hours too.
