I've been at screaming pitch again. The neighbours have their grandkids round again which sets the bird off even worse. I ended up screaming at the wall again and then just heard them laughing. Yeah there's that guy next door they're driving insane. Motherfuckers. They couldn't give a fuck. It was tweeting at 1am at the weekend, I know that is definitely classed legally as noise nuisance. They should watch out because I have the landlord's number from when he was renovating the house and if I decide to make his life hell he might decide the bird has to go full stop and I can afford a legal case at the moment if that doesn't work. Twats. I got my big speakers down, was going to play bird predator/repellent sounds at full pitch to try to drive the bird crazy so they'd move it, but it didn't seem to be working maybe the bird is fucking deaf. So now I've got a wall of white noise playing full blast through the speakers directed at the wall, and my headphones playing music. At least when there's a pause in my music I can't hear the fucking bird. But pisses me off I have to have a wall of sound playing constantly now, 2 layers of sound, just to have a bit of peace in my own house. When I try to watch a movie or show, I have my over ear headphones on and I can still hear the bird during quiet moments. I sometimes have to do recordings for work and I've had them flagged as unacceptable background noise because the bird is tweeting all the way through it. I fucking hate my neighbours. I sleep with the same white noise on and it works to drown out the sound of sirens and traffic outside so maybe this is the way forward.
I would play Megadeth full blast to the point it made the walls shake, but it wouldn't be fair on my neighbour on the other side who I literally never hear, except him shutting his door or occasionally laughing at something - it IS POSSIBLE to peacefully co-exist in terraced properties, some people are just twats.
I bought a spare phone the other day for a work project. The phone didn't work for the project and the sale terms meant I couldn't take it back, but at least it's come in useful for playing my white noise. Thankfully I have Youtube Premium to adverts don't blast out every 5 minutes 😂

Still looking for job. Still no results. At least there are some interviews. Lots of rejects, though some interaction processes are going on...
Still having fear that I won't be able to find a job until when my time limit comes. Still don't know what I'll do if that'll happen. Of course I'll look for non-IT job as well, but I'm not sure if it'll give me enough salary to survive.

❤️❤️❤️I feel more relaxed now. It's a pain in the arse having to blast out white noise, and the phone keeps turning off the track every now and then (it says 10 hours, but is only actually 3 hours!). I'll see if I can find another, the battery seems to be holding up, and I haven't heard the bird tweeting or any other sounds from the neighbours, so it seems to work. Could be bombs going off outside and I wouldn't know. I feel so tired right now, am starting to count the days rather than weeks to the Holidays. I need a break after the year I have had, especially the last 6 months.
I’m feeling incompetent. I have spent the past 1.5 work days troubleshooting a problem that turned out to be an invalid assumption on my part.
The thing that I expected to be working was in fact turned off, for a very good reason. In turn, the thing I was troubleshooting was working just fine, but the next process down stream was not as I expected. Two problems with this: if I had been able to see the proverbial forest, I would have been able to ask the question of whether the downstream step was working, If I really knew what I was doing, I would not have made that assumption in the first place, because I already know that we do this by default on all the test systems.

Not great. I was in hospital for a few days because of a severe asthma exacerbation. I was pretty sick. I couldn't get myself to hospital. Because of severe chest tightness & congestion I couldn't breathe well & I was feeling lightheaded, faint, weak, & couldn't walk well. I had to call the paramedics. I'm doing better now. On increased oral & inhaled steroids & other medications now. I see my asthma specialist/respirologist on Friday.
