So far we are really enjoying Madison, our new apartment, and the cool, Wisconsin summer. However, there are a few things about our apartment that have been getting on our nerves...
1) We're not quite sure what the kids upstairs are doing, but we think it is some variant on sumo wrestling combined with American Gladiators combined with some plyometrics training combined with practicing for next year's running of the bulls festivities. They run and jump around all day and into the night. We're trying to figure out a neighborly way to tell them to shut the hell up, but as you can see, that's not going well.
2) Although all of the children that we've met in the complex (and there are a lot of them) are very nice, they play outside all day (not a bad thing)...and bounce balls into cars...ugh. We've already noticed a couple of dents. The complex is working on getting the parents to...I don't know...parent them, but until then...dents...ugh.
3) BUZZ...so in our old place, we had a key pad to enter a password to get into the building...now there's a buzzer. We're getting buzzed...a lot...and not by friends stopping by to say hi...just random people trying to get in the building. Last night there was almost an hour of buzzing...at 3am...brilliant. It finally stopped, but when I left for work this morning there were three men and a tool box sleeping in the hallway...WTF?!?!
Are you sure the toolbox was asleep? I mean, it could be just pretending, waiting for you to open the door and sneak in. Toolboxes are tricky like that.
