holy shit, good news

What I would consider to be my biggest looming problem right now will soon be gone: the neighbors above me. Yes, I have a person or two over like once a month and I'm loud. Yes, I often shower twice a day, which can be loud. Yes, I run the water a lot as I cook and clean a lot. But to hear stomping from above for any sound they can hear? Ridiculous, and it's been going on for many months now, and I finally complained on Friday. The stomping continued for the past few days even after management talked to them. I was *this* close to giving the landlord an ultimatum, it's them or me that has to go. Well well well, I got home today to learn that the neighbors above had given their two months' notice, so they're gone at the end of the year. JOY... I can look forward to living like a sane person again... unless the newbies are jerks... but the lady in the office will likely make sure that won't happen for me. What a relief!
