Why, God?

Why, why, WHY must the man upstairs play 50s rock so loudly at 2a.m.???? Especially tonight when I actually care. Damn and blast him, when I went up to complain he said he didn't think it was excessive but would turn it down. I'd love to know what he thinks turning it down means, but it clearly doesn't match up with my understanding of the term. I

I hope today goes well, in spite of nasty men and noses and clothes-despair. My Dad always said to turn up at interview in a suit with slightly frayed cuffs, immaculately clean and pressed. I agree, aim for understated smartness with something to make you stand out without being obvious. That way when they talk about you they can refer to you as "you know... the one with the ribbon thingy" or something.

Same from me.

I turned up for one interview immaculate and business-like to the last hair - which was up in a bun wrapped round with a child's spider scrunchie! In purple - with teeth!

I got the job. I still wear the scrunchie...

As for the loud man: YES! DO call the council. If he then turns up on your door at two AM smelling of booze and harangues you, call the police. Threatening behaviour and all that. One call-out should be enough to convince him you mean business.
