So, a few weeks ago, I was on a writing roll! ^___^ I was thrilled! I had visions of several new BFB parts, maybe a couple of one-shots, and maybe even (*gasp!*) some new Chibi.

And then the renovations arrived at my building. >.< For over two weeks, we've been subjected to hammering, power saws, yelling, air wrenches and impact hammers, excavation equipment, jack hammering, pick axes, more shouting, no water at unexpected moments and cheery little door notes from the management reminding us of how *wonderful!* it will all be when it's done. *sigh*

Did I mention the hammering?

Needless to say, my roll developed a limp, then threw a couple of shoes, broke a leg and finally had to be put out of its misery. It is currently being butchered in hopes of saving something. >.<

And last week, I had a serious major migraine for the first time in years. *headdesk*

So... Sorry for the update lack. I'm trying, but the universe is just fucking me sideways right now.

*siiiiiiiiiigh...*

I shouldn't be so sensitive, but that kind of noise just sets every nerve I have on edge. It's actually painful. They seem to be finishing up today, so I have talons crossed. ^___^

Next up should be the power washing and the painting. Wheee. =_=

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

It sounds really really annoying >.o *helps by crossing fingers*

Are they doing painting by hand or by machine? If by machine...that's as annoying as the power washing o.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Painting will be by machine. =P *grumbles, swats trash can with tail*

It's even more annoying that stuff keeps happening without timely warnings. Today they were smoothing out the dirt that the end loader dumped back in the excavations yesterday. Dust, dust and more dust. I had all the windows closed until 1700. >.<

And then around 1230, they shut off the damn water and went to lunch. O_O I finally called the office around 1400 to ask WTF? Water was back in about ten minutes, but nobody bothered to call me back. >.< I swear, the people in the office have the worst customer service skills I've ever seen. *sigh*

That's really annoying >.o
Hopefully they'll be done soon so they don't upset the lizard no more...We don't want an upset lizard >.

They seem to be replacing the treads and stringers on the other side of the building today. Makes sense to do before they paint, but I have no idea if they'll do the same on this side. They already replaced the stringers on this side a year or so ago.

And I discovered this morning that they painted the garages yesterday, O.o Guess that was the compressor noise I kept hearing. >.<

I hate surprises. They make me cranky and distract me. =P

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

Especially when they make your day horrible >.<
And bad distractions! How dare you take away from writing stories!

I've been poking at fics, but my own personal hamsters seem to still be traumatized and haven't shown up yet. *sigh* The little purple plot bunny has reappeared, but all he wants is carrots. ^___^

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

*snickers* The hamsters are proly hiding with the dust bunnies...
And better poke that purple plot bunny with the carrots to see if it will wake up any fic writing...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

The hamsters are probably sucking down margaritas by the pool. =P

I kind of hate to bug the little guy... He's looks at me with big sad eyes and I just hand over another carrot. Whipped by a bunny that would fit on my open palm... *sigh*

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

ahaha And not wallowing in misery...

That...is kinda funny *snickers* Whipped by a purple plot bunny...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

It's the eyes... He manages to look both sad and disapproving and I just... shrink to the size of a gecko and pass the carrots. >_>

He's sitting on the sofa now... just staring at me. Guess I should be getting back to work. ^___^

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Did he make you get back to work? Or did you just stare back at him?

[merula31]

I really hope they finish up soon!!!! Did they??

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I think. At least, they've moved on to another building. It's a little hard to tell, because this morning the damn water was off again. >.< We went out to get ice and it was back on when we got back, but that just pissed me off. The bloody office is closed on Sunday, so there's no one to complain to. *grrrrrr*

[lizard-little.livejournal.com]

You have my sympathies... When my neighbours upstairs (in Italy) we "renovating", it made me want to kill things...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I've tried very hard not to get twitchy, but the noise is just... Had another migraine on Friday. >_< Not a fluffy weekend.

At least they seem to have moved on to a building about 100 meters away. I can still hear them, but not like last week. *sigh*

(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)

Sorry about your woes. Hope things get better soon. Also, looks like Merula will have to find a new place to put her fics, since Amy Mizuno's site hasn't been updated since January. Is it my imagination or has the fanfic community in general completely deteriorated in the last year or so? Amy Mizuno was the last hold out man! Oh well, shit happens then you die.
