It's been two weeks since they started working on the building and they work every day for 12 hours except for Sunday. It's making me want to lose my mind.

Before I seem like a Karen, please know that I would never shit on these people for just doing a job they were contracted to do. I don't think they are going out of their way to be rude or anything. But regardless of knowing this, it almost makes me want to blow my brains out. They are constantly banging ladders, smoking cigarettes outside, getting on the porch, knocking on stuff, using loud machinery, and of course the paint smell is strong. I keep an AC unit in my window so I can't fully close it, I hear everything. And even the days I've taken it out because the sounds or smells became too much, I can still hear EVERYTHING. And it gets ridiculously hot in my room. Not to mention now I'm weary of every single window in my apartment because there's always people outside of it. And I'm on the second floor. It's scary to just come face to face with this random person who can look into my apartment. I don't even like maintenance coming in, let alone some random painters. It gives me so much anxiety and makes me so frustrated. It's always interupting my morning sleep as well. Not a good way to wake up, especially when I fought hours just to fall back asleep.

I feel like a POS for being frustrated because I don't want to be mad at the workers for doing their job. But it's getting ridiculous and overwhelming for me. The other day they painted the doors and taped over the handles and key slot. I just got done grocery shopping so I had to sit everything down and get paint all over my hands to peel the tape off so I could get inside. I had a little meltdown because of how frustrated I was. I can literally hear them adjusting a ladder outside of my window right now and I want to burst.

Wtf do I do? I have no clue when they will be done. I had no clue it would take this long either or that they'd be on our porches. I just hate feeling so anxious and mad.
