Tired, busy.

We live in a building with two other apartments, and the whole situation is really laid back most of the time. Nobody really cares how much noise you make (even we don't mind the surround sound downstairs usually) as long as it's during normal daytime hours. Last night, I decided to go to bed at 10:30 because I hadn't slept much the night before and I was exhausted. I get into bed and get all comfy and I hear, THUMP THUMP...THUMPTHUMPTHUMP...THUMP THUMP...THUMP...ETC. Directly below our bedroom is the room that a couple of young teenage sisters share and while I often hear music coming from their room, it's usually in the afternoons. So, I waited a bit, about 15 minutes to see if they would turn it down and when they still didn't, John stomped on the floor a couple of times. Still, it persisted. So, I told him to give them a call and just ask them to turn it down because it was after 11:00 and we wanted to get some sleep. Ring, ring, ring, ring.....nothing. At this point, I'm furious...I sat up on the edge of the bed and hit the floor so hard I probably bruised my heel. STILL, nothing. John tried calling again, no answer. John gets dressed and goes downstairs and proceeds to knock on the door multiple times, and loudly. They didn't even answer the door!!! So, he came back up and we tried banging some more, thinking that since we were directly above them, they might hear it. Finally, when we heard a song end, we tried calling again and they answered. It was like 11:45. One of the girls answered and John says, "Ah, yeah, you mind turning the music down?" She said, "Okay." Even then they didn't turn it down much but at least I couldn't feel the bass anymore.

Work kinda stinks this week. There is a lot going on and since the lady who does all our shipping is out, my boss and I have had to spend hours back there packaging stuff to ship. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have so much paperwork to do in my office! We have some people here from the UK helping us get all our ISO stuff in order before the big audit in September and everything is quite a mess. We have a machine shop next door that needs to be integrated into our ISO system which only means one thing to me, more procedures to control!

Oh, and everyone go see Stardust on Friday!!! It's gonna be so good!
