Woke to female singing "Santa Claus is coming to town...". WTF. Oh, Smooth Jazz Christmas Overture by Dave Koz & friends. Left Windows Media Player Sleep playlist on all night again. New neigbhor, works for management company/owner, no sense complaining about his loud TV, well past midnight.

Rearranged sofa bed, purposely so I can move laptop next to our adjoining wall. Ready to hit the hay, turned volume up to 100% last night; little good that will do; he probably will not hear it over the sound of his TV and even if he turns it off sooner or later, likely will not be disturbed. He is up, 5 something AM and I am nasty, hoping he is listening to the lady sing about Santa Claus. Must remove that smooth jazz, no singing tune from the playlist; 'cause the overture includes singing.

7:00AM on the dot, ring, ring goes neighbor Chris's phone, listen to "Please leave a message" and man's voice, not Bill, leaving message. 7:01AM, ring, ring, listen to (see above). 7:02AM, ring, ring, (ditto). 7:08AM ring, ring...

WTF is John up to now, I wonder, a bit past 7:08AM. 7:17AM, oh, its not John, it is men doing lord knows what in neighboring yard. Can say one thing for the workers, they are diligent.
