irritations
I live, as some of you may know, on the lower level of my building. Living below someone else was never a problem; at most I heard what sounded like someone tossing a medicine ball on the floor a few times a week.
But, oh, now Paul has moved in above me. Paul used to live next to me, but he's moving up in the world, 'up' in this case being an apartment with front windows and an actual bedroom. And MAN, is Paul loud. Not play-metallica-at-3am loud, or rollicking-sex-on-Sunday-morning loud, but just stomps-around-a-lot-loud. He was stomping at 7am when I woke up. He's stomping now. Oh wait, he took a break to do a little pounding instead. Nope, back to stomping.
I miss the medicine ball person already.
