So, sometime over the weekend my upstairs neighbor must have dropped an ACME-style anvil on their floor. I came home Sunday night to a rather large whole in my bedroom ceiling.

The ceiling is made up of these large, heavy sheetrock tile things that seem to be bolted to the wooden crossbeams above. I’m not talking about the lightweight plaster tiles you see in offices, but the really heavy material I guess they make walls with. I know now, that there is nothing between that sheetrock and the hardwood floor of my upstairs neighbor. No insulation or anything was visible. That explains the large amount of noise I always hear from up there.

Anyway, one of these large tiles, and half of another were in my bedroom floor when I came home last night. That will be fun to clean up tonight, so that I can have the building management take their sweet time in coming out to look at it. I really need to move because I can’t live someplace where there’s a chance the ceiling is going to collapse on some expensive electronics, or worse — my head. I guess I need to start saving up for first month and security deposit for my next residence…

I’ll post up some pictures when I get a chance.

EDIT: Here are some pictures.
