Alarming!
First things first: still need one more team on our Blogger Fantasy Football Team on Yahoo, so someone else sign the F up - NOW!! :op I mean that in the nicest possible way ;)
******************
I am developing a very deep hatred for car alarms. At my office, I have big window (as does one of the attorneys I work for) on the south wall (at least I think it's south, who the fuck knows) which provides me with a breathtaking view (assuming you, like I, have superpowers and can see through the wall o'bushes (for privacy?)) of the office building about 75-100 feet away. They've been doing construction of some sort there every since I've worked here -- I started here in February, 2003 -- (kind of like the Philadelphia International Airport, it's been under construction doing God knows what ever since I've freaking lived there, which was from 1970 to 2001!!!) and it's finally close to being finished. Thank friggin God, the noise was just unbearable. I'm trying to type dictation with my cute little stylish headphones on (ok they're not stylish, nor cute), and all I can hear is machines pounding the living shit out of something for hours on end.
Now, that rant was not the subject of my post, I, well, just had to get it off my chest, ok? The purpose of this post was to rant about something else.... car alarms. I hate them. In fact, I fuckin' hate them. There.
Whatever machines they're using over there, at this office building...car alarms apparently don't like, and seem to want to voice their displeasure, seemingly right in the general direction of my window. Every single day I can count no less than 10 times that car alarms go off. TURN YOUR FUCKING ALARMS OFF PEOPLE!! When are you gonna get a clue? They sound incredibly annoying and just keep going and going and going and going.....kind of like this dude
I am at my wit's end. Seriously, I'm going to go out there with a shotgun, and soon, and silence these beasts once and for all.
And, to make it worse, it's following me!!! My new apartment, the bedroom in particular, faces the parking lot in the back of my building. It's a huge window, vertically speaking, and starts at about a foot off the floor and goes all the way up to the ceiling. Nice, huh? You'd think! Except when car alarms go off. Doesn't happen as often, but it does happen, and I swear it's the same fucking sound, and it's making me crazy. Well, ok, crazier!
My thought is this: can't they make the alarm sound pleasing to the ear (as the guy from American Idol said, Ear Delicious)? Can't you say, for instance, have it play your favorite song? You'll still know it's your alarm, right? And it won't make everyone else want to punch you, hard, right? So, ya with me?!? Any other ideas? This travesty must stop.
