The sound of destruction in the morning....
So nothing like waking up to the walls shaking, the cat freaking out and the loudest bangs and thuds. Seems that the work that was being done on the building yesterday has moved to my actual apartment. Or, more specifically, my balcony. I, who couldn't get to sleep last night and didn't get to bed until like 4am, was very rudely awakened by a guy with a crowbar and then a big, fucking sledgehammer going to town at the railings on my balcony.

My master bedroom backs up (on the outside) against the balcony. It provides the side "wall" for the structure. Needless to say then, when my bed is also eased against the self-same wall(s), the entire bed shakes if there's demolition on your balcony. This is something I didn't really know. Well, to be more specific, hadn't ever thought of.

Turns out it's REALLY FUCKING LOUD as well when they're doing first demolition and then construction on your building and most especially on your own apartment. Yeah, hadn't had the joy of experiencing this yet either. I thought it was annoying yesterday as they ripped apart communial building walls and replaced them, but oh no....this is FAR worse.

All I want is a little bit of sleep. Is that so much to ask? Damn apartment complex for suddenly deciding they didn't want rotting wood all over the place. Sheesh. What about us getting some rest? I mean really. *chuckles*

Tried yesterday to figure out the comments thingy but boy it just didn't work. I need to look at someone's code that includes it. Problem is that they've changed the perm link code, added a new type of code you need to enter and BOTH of those need to be in the right place before the comment tags work. And that's where I'm running into my problem. The help files really aren't that helpful. Put tag in your blogger tag.... well yeah, but WHERE? And in what type of order? Give me a damned sample blog I can read it's full code and see how to intergrate it! Bah. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid and wrong, but today being day two of waking up to construction, I doubt I'll have the brainpower to figure it out yet.

So....very....tired....
