Have finally cracked and written a letter of complaint to my landlord about Him Upstairs. This stupid guy keeps on waking me up by playing loud music in the middle of the night, and it isn't even good music. It isn't every night, nor even every week, but it does happen on a regular basis, and I am way beyond sick of it. It is extremely anti-social and, frankly, I have better things to do at 3am than listen to someone else's horrendous taste in music! Last night was a good example. The music woke me up at about 2.30am, and I spent about half an hour trying to tune out the thumping beat and tuneless caterwauling and get back to sleep, to no avail. Then at 3am I gave in, went upstairs, and thumped on his door as loud as possible until he finally couldn't ignore me any more, and then fumed at him to turn the music off. He didn't, but did turn it down, although it was still on the edges of my hearing. And this never stops him doing it again - he doesn't always even open the door when I knock. Then, between me being thoroughly woken up and him stomping around in a snit, I couldn't get back to sleep all night. Dozed lightly between 5.30 and 6am, but that was it. And I have a job interview this morning, which I now have to go to with my brain feeling like tapioca.

Yep, letter of complaint to the landlord going in the post this morning. Along with a list of long-overdue maintenance issues for his attention, including that security light out the back that he assured me would be fixed after I spotted that prowler back in the spring, but never has been.

Yeah, I'm feeling kind of curmudgeonly this morning. Need to channel some zen before the interview, I think!

Edit - oh, but in other news, one of my cousins and his partner had their second son yesterday, congratulations to them. He's called Evan, which...doesn't exactly go with Luca, which is their older boy's name. Taking both sides of the family into consideration, that is now 15 babies in 12 years - and 12 of them have been boys! Where did all the girls go? Madness.

ROFL I think wrathful was the way to go anyway! *g* Although even with a complaint, I doubt that it'll help much. Rude people like that forget about the whole thing just as fast as you file a complaint. I really hope that the thing with the housing association works out for you! :)

I was, shall we say, rather severely pissed off. Especially since I had to bang so loudly on his door so many times before he opened it. And because it was 3am.

I've heard from the housing association - they've put me on their waiting list for a two-bedroom accommodation, which is excellent. But I doubt I'm a priority, and have no idea how long the wait will be. Plus, they say pets aren't allowed in flats or maisonettes, which annoyed me, because the application form specifically asks about pets! So unless they offer me a two-bedroom house (or I lie about the cat) I won't be able to take a flat even if they offer it to me. Grr. We shall see what comes. Maybe I will get a really good job and rent my parents' old house. Or maybe I will be stuck here forever...

Nah, you won't be stuck there forever, you're just going through a bad phase. I am optimistic for you! *hugs* If they offer a flat to you, maybe you can work the thing with pets out nonetheless. I doubt you'll be the first one with that problem to come up, especially if you mentioned it in your application already.

We'll see. My friend has a maisonette with Hafod Housing, and she's got a cat! It is possible she just never told them about it, though...*G*

*hugs back*
