I wonder if there is anything I do that really annoys my upstairs neighbor. I wish I knew because then I would do it more.
I observe my upstairs neighbors living habits – I can’t help it … they bother me and I cannot help but not notice. A few months ago, he got a phone and a television. Before that, I assume he did not have either because he listened to the news radio all day and ALL NIGHT. In my bedroom I could actually listen along because it was not muffled … and I even began to memorize the radio commericals. Ughh.
Then came the telephone. This guy never has people over and he never talks on the phone. Sounds kind of like me … but much worse. I heard his phone ring for the first time a few months ago. He may have had one before, and it just never rang.
Now he has a television because I can hear him laughing at television shows, and his new favorite hobby is to play really loud video games for sometimes 6 hours straight. Ughh. And he does this one thing that drives me completely nuts … its this game that vibrates or something. It is almost like someone taped 10,000 vibrating cell phones to my ceiling. It goes in spurts like a cell phone too. Maybe it is a speaker on the floor or something. I really hate it though.
I have also concluded that he has no job and does not go to school because he never leaves. He has no schedule of sleeping. When I’m sleeping he is throwing bowling balls on the floor and blasting Germanic tribe music. When I’m awake he is doing the same thing. He is there when I go to work, when I come home for lunch, and when I come home from work. I wish he would go away.
I did my taxes today. I also learned that there is not a penalty for submitting taxes late unless you owe money. If you are due a refund, they just don’t care. Maybe I will just collect all of my tax documents for the next five years and not file. Then I will file for five years worth of refunds and get rich. Unless inflation completely destroys the value of our dollar today, I think it is a great idea. I procrastinated in doing my taxes on purpose. See, I had it all planned out for like a month to use Turbo Tax. I have had it completed since last month, but could not submit them until I entered my Adjusted Gross Income from last year. However, I cannot find anything from last year. I can’t find my W2’s, a copy of my tax return …. or even my last pay stub. Apparently I filed that stuff in a secret place because I have searched high and low …… and just can’t find them.
So I paper filed which is free, except I can’t figure out how to deduct my student loan interest, but it isn’t really much and it almost equals the amount I would have paid Turbo Tax, so I will just not claim it.
I’m boring. I want to do something fun this weekend. Someone call me and come visit.
Bye.
