I have a sore throat today and am feeling tired and irritable. So let me complain to you about my apartment. I realize most of you haven't been to my apartment, but let me provide you with some pics under the cut tag. [only on lj for the time being]
They're renovating our building's HVAC system. We have a one bedroom with a small kitchen and bathroom. I like our apartment, except that we could use more storage space. They are working on the wall between our living room and bedroom and so there are TARDIS-sized areas marked off by plastic sheeting on both sides. (And they are bigger on the inside than the outside since there's less wall there).
We have no heating or cooling (thank you durdge for the space heater) and no curtains on the windows (it's been a little hard to sleep, but we've adjusted). There's also a blower venting in the livingroom so it's noisier than usual, although the work itself hasn't been horribly loud (no 8 hour of jackhammering, usually drilling or pounding is intermittent and only lasts for a couple of hours).
The most stressful part is that workmen can come into our apartment anytime between 8am-5pm for 6 weeks (we're on week 2). They always knock and are polite, but it's annoying. I work at home and have an inconsistent schedule (like sometimes I sleep in, or sometimes take a nap and work in the evening, except not now.) Since they're working by tier one set of workers may not know when the next set will be coming (although they'll try to tell me as best as they can estimate).
My productivity has been poor. Hence my whining to you.
