How was your day?

[Guest Billy Russo]

Spent the day raging at Crash Bandicoot.

 

I hate those f*cking bridge levels. f*ck f*ck f*ck. Trying to get a Gold Relic on Road to Nowhere and it's impossible. 

[HeavyDuke]

Well can't say I enjoyed working out with these hot temperatures. Ended up working out butt naked.

[Death]

Awesome night concert and more awesome because I was catching the last bus at 12:00AM with $1 dollar instead of wasting $20 dollar for the taxi, so I can cut my long hair and saving the extra money, good good.

[universetwisters]

Some guy threatened to shoot me because he demanded a pizza I was delivering to him before he gave me the money. Called the cops because one you don’t threaten someone like that and try to lunge at me and two his wife/girlfriend whatever is obviously beaten with a black eye. Cops show up, I make a statement, apparently they go over there and nothing, don’t see his face on the local mugshot site.

 

Im having a hard time believing that karma comes around

[HeavyDuke]

5 minutes in and I already feel like punching some idiot his teeth in. Some dumb idiot screaming at his wife in Morrocan woke me up. Thankfully he now closed his window. How dare he wake me from my slumber.

 

Going to try sleep again now.

 

 

Edit, can't sleep anymore because I am now hungry as hell. Can't eat either because I need to start off with fasted cardio.

 

Today is officially ruined.

I uninstalled Crash Bandicoot. Just wasn't finding it very fun anymore. I get nostalgia is a powerful drug, I remember the game not being as frustrating and more fun. Shame.

[Death]

Just a cut hair and going back to look like 18 years old again, I feel very fresh to make a productive good day.

Came back from a trip, a 15 hour road trip.

 

But throughout the day up until now, just been feeling down and a lot of past bad thoughts been creeping up recently. Hopefully it gets better but I don’t know..

You should live stream it and make a fortune.

[Craigsters]

I found twenty dollars  on the sidewalk on my way home from the store, so I'd say it's pretty darn good

[Rumblebud]

It was Drag weekend up here in Mission, BC. Got to spectate some racing and gather ideas to possibly build a drag car myself sooner down the line. And, to top it off. It was a wonderful Canada Day evening that I spent with some good food and good people.

 

Needless to say, it was a one-day opportunity for me to flaunt the Canadian flag - patriotism at it's finest.

 

[Guest Billy Russo]

Was sad because I was expecting to get sh*tty Pro Evolution Soccer as a PS Plus game, but I turned on my PS4 and saw a free Detroit: Become Human & Heavy Rain waiting for me. I'm chuffed.

Evicting him for antisocial behavior would be giving him what he wants.

But that would be also what you'd want, and that is ultimately what matters.

 

Woke up late, the bus to the city came late. Went to the gym, and there was no hot water in the shower.

Then went to the rehearsal, and it came out pretty alright, despite the fact that I semi-forgot some songs we haven't played in a while.

So the day is okay, I guess.

Very great, printing my "stickers art", Fedex comes with my package finally and preparing stuff to climb the mountains all day tomorrow after 3 or 4 months was the last time, holy sh*t.

In theory, yeah. It matters because it's the right thing to do in that situation. But the local government/environmental health department put me through a campaign of narcissistic abuse for nearly three years. They were willing to drag the situation out for as long as possible no matter how many times I reported antisocial behaviour. They knew that I had a long term health condition and a lack of sleep was impacting on that. They knew that I had problems using a phone. (Not so much that I can't, but it caused ridiculous amounts of anxiety having to deal with rude people/screw ups/delays/or the environmental health not dealing with reports at all.)

 

 I made twenty seven/twenty eight phone calls about antisocial behaviour. The environmental health department responded to six incidents over a near three year period. They ignored the majority of calls made. (The police handled the other reports but it didn't stop the problems) The environmental health department stopped responding after the fourth time. This happened after I made a second complaint letter. Environmental health officers laughed while they performed their duties.  (They left my home and my noisy neighbour continued to blast music until five or six AM.) The official response? No proof of the team's conduct and no apology.

 

The second complaint was treated like a joke. At this point, I had threatened legal action which obviously rubbed them the wrong way. I can still remember one of the bosses pacing back and forth in my living room with the letter. Clearly unhappy. But... They were unaccountable for their 'efforts' and it felt like they were hiding something. I felt like they were making excuses. The  environmental health boss said that she'd been in charge for thirteen years. I asked why their team never responded to antisocial behavior over a seven or eight month period. They had no answer, or they had excuses, or unhelpful/circular responses. So... I'd had enough and kicked them out of my home. It was a legal matter now.

 

But that didn't fix the problem. I had to get two lawyers involved to get the truth out. (Because I wasn't told anything by the environmental health department except to keep reporting noise.)

 

The environmental health department were downplaying the situation and said that the noise would only affect those living directly below. Which is BS because the loud music and the noisy neighbour's singing filled every room in my apartment.

 

My apartment is roughly eighteen feet in length and twenty seven feet in width. From ceiling to floor it's roughly over seven feet. My bedroom wall is adjacent and below the noisy neighbour's apartment. There's roughly twelve feet between my bedroom window and their security entrance door. Which means, it's pretty hard to ignore loud noise from that direction

 

The last time that the environmental health visited my home one of the officers looked angry for no reason. Literally, I was greeted that way when I opened my front door to them. I explained how much pain I was in (because the situation had been ongoing since September 2016) and the officer called me childish. I asked her what her job was. She didn't answer. Then, I said that they should have an awareness of sleep deprivation if they deal with antisocial behavior. Which is a fair statement because they're environmental health. They take people to court for making loud noise and threatening behavior. The officer said that she 'wasn't a doctor ' and stormed out. I followed and had to defend my medical condition again. She 'didn't know what that was' even though I'd spent the last five minutes telling her.

 

I pretty much gave up with the whole situation  after that. It wasn't going anywhere.

 

Then, the phone calls from the environmental health department still came. They were circular conversations designed to distress and offer no resolution. It's a criminal offence to harass people with unwanted phone calls. They weren't respecting my privacy, despite awareness of problems (that they were technically causing) or health concerns. Also... I had one guy say that the downplaying of the situation was 'all in my head.'

 

So yeah... There's no point in reporting antisocial behavior when the lunatics are running the asylum. Last September/October, I had to disconnect my home phone and change my iphone number to stop them harassing me. (I use the iphone mostly for taking pictures and social media apps.)

Do you mind me asking which local authority you were dealing with? I ask because some are much better at dealing with these sorts of problems than others. I reckon it depends on the political flavour of the ruling group, and maybe a large part is tradition, i.e. how these sorts of issue have been dealt with in the past. Whatever the case, it sounds like you have been on the receiving end of some pretty shoddy treatment.

Whatever the case, it sounds like you have been on the receiving end of some pretty shoddy treatment. 

In the UK, we have local councils who manage the town and/or county. I dealt with the environmental health department (who liase with the police/court to handle noise complaints) and the housing department (who deal with rent and property.) They've got the power to evict people if they break their tenancy agreement. They're the only authority who I can contact to deal with antisocial problems. The police alone don't consider loud music an emergency. Some people contact their local politician but that rarely works.

 

Yeah, it was shoddy treatment. One time, a police operator told me that I needed to see a doctor. For what? Reporting antisocial behavior that was impacting my long term health and it was part of an ongoing issue? I always had a feeling something wasn't right out of the gate. But.. The way that the situation was manipulated made you think it was just poor timing/bad luck. (Like misdirecting my call to the police in another city.)

 

I didn't have a label for the mental abuse at the time. I literally had to go no contact to really understand the last three years. Narcissists will try to mentally break you down and paint a false reality. They'll support you at first/play the knight in shining armour/figure out your weaknesses and then exploit them. They'll go full Mr Hyde on you. Essentially, that's what happened with my situation. It was pretty much from the frying pan and into the fire. When I got the lawyers involved the council tried character assassination. That's a textbook narcissist move.

 

Back in February, someone left an anoymous employee review on a website. That pretty much confirmed all of the bad treatment that I received. In a way, there's some truth to what you say about the political flavour of the group. Not even my local politician could help. The culture within the department is toxic. Morale is low and the whole team is mismanaged. Lack of funding or idiots with too much power might be to blame.

 

Yesterday, I was researching phone harassment laws. I still want to explore that option if I take legal action. You can wait up to six years.

 

Today, I'm having a bit of an off day with the physical side of all that long term stress. My vision is blurry and my anxiety/concentration is ridiculous. But that's what I have to live with on a day to day basis.

 

Otherwise, I'm just trying to relax as best as I can. I'm thinking about making videos for my youtube channel but I'll see how it goes.

So, I changed the plans to climb the Mountains to go to my childhood zoo because it was restored a few months ago and the last time I visited it was 2 years ago, but it was very deplorable, abandoned and animals in bad shape and now it definitely looks better, hardly can be the amazing zoo back in the day was but the workers are doing a good job to give a bright to this zoo.

 

Btw, I couldn’t stop laughing, thinking in @Voodoo when I saw a Llama just looking everywhere…

Nothing special. I kindly asked someone not to talk to me like I have special needs (because apparently people think you're slow in the head if you're quiet), a bug I didn't recognise landed on my shoulder forcing me to take my coat off and a bee flew close to my head.

 

No llamas.

Thanks HeavyDuke.

 

The first llama pretty much summed up my mood this morning. When I say 'morning', I mean just after 4 AM. One of my neighbours was half drunk/half asleep, or whatever, and forgot that they were cooking something.

 

The second llama was how I felt being the only smart person to call the fire service. (Another neighbour was just shouting 'get out of there.')

Would have been pretty hilarious if you would have joined the imbeciles by shouting '' GET BACK IN THERE ''

 

And the person who's kitchen is on fire would be totally confused and likely set himself on fire while trying to calm the fire with gasoline.

I ate a sh*tload of chicken today.

 

Didn't feel so good afterwards but that was worth it, 10/10 would do again.

Driving around in my Go Kart on Bully and thinking it's 2006 again. Good times.

It's not snowing here (it can't snow) but almost feels like, it's so f*cking cold, I've never seen such a cold temperature in years.
