03/05/2016

Cigarette smoke started up directly after I shut off the stream (midnight break to make sure streams are on the right days based on video/stream titles), as I could smell it from my long couch in my living room in Building E of the South 67 Condos.  This log is pretty much a continuation from yesterday, as there really wasn't any break from the pollution.

I later heard something outside of my door, went to find out what it was.  I heard what sounded like a woman near the front door to the building, but other than that, nothing on my door like I was expecting.  I could smell the spice smell pretty strong in the public hallways, but I'm not really to concerned with that, provided it's not effecting my unit (usually this means they're taking it outside & it's just being tracked back in, but I guarantee that hasn't been the case today).

After I got in my office to start typing up this new log, the hookah smell could be smelled pretty easily.  I turned on my air purifier to try & filter the stench coming from E26, but it didn't do much & I ended up having to put my respirator back on when the spice smell was getting thrown on top of the hookah smell.  Looks like it's going to be a rough night tonight; I think that fucker may actually be trying to keep me from moving, where I thought he was hellbent trying to get rid of me.  As I've stated before, if I'm not helping fix up the house, my parents are going to drop the idea of me moving; if that pollution keeps me up all night coughing on the shit, I'm not going to be well/rested enough to go work on the house.  I can only imagine how this is going to be when my father attempts to sell this unit & he can't; going to be a lot of disappointed people in the building that may have been happy to see me move when I end up moving back because the unit couldn't be sold because of the pollution (if we even get that far; first things first, got to fix the house so I can move before we worry about selling the unit).

Health problems from indoor pollution today:
  • Blurry Vision
  • Chest Pains
  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Irritated Eyes
  • Nausea
  • Ringing Ear
  • Seizures (mild)
  • Sore Throat
UPDATE:  Looks like somebody took the note over my doorknocker off of my door last night about requesting people used the doorbell also, so somebody really has it out for me now.  I'm going to put it up one more time, then if it gets taken down again, I'm going to ask my father to make a complaint with Charles on it.  If it happens again after that, I'm going to link that background check in another place on the web.  I might go as far as putting things back up in the hallways again.

UPDATE:  I just realized that that noise I heard last night was that female I heard at the front door of the building was her taking off the note about using the doorbell, not anybody putting anything on my door.  So I have a gender to make the complaint against to Charles, however who exactly is still the question.  I have a good idea on who it might be, so I'll stick to a complaint against those units.

UPDATE:  When I got back from a long day of working on the house, I could barely smell the pollution in my building when I got back.  Walked in my unit, still couldn't smell the pollution.  It wasn't until I walked into my home office that I could smell it, but I was about to jump in the shower & decided to see what it was like when I got out.  The pollution was near non-existent when I got out of the shower, so I decided not to say anything until it started to increase again (not that that was going to stop me from writing this log).  I expect the fact that I've left my windows open pretty much for 2 days straight was playing a factor in that pollution not getting strong today.  I was half-expecting the note about using my doorbell (rather than knocking) to be ripped off my door again when I got back, however that wasn't the case.

I started doing something new today, as to not allow the smell coming off my clothes when I got back from working on the house to screw with my senses & confuse the matter as to whether the pollution was coming from other units.  I'm taking a shower as soon as possible after I get back & leaving the porous items that I took with me outside to air out (this includes my clothes, after I get out of the shower).  I'll leave them out there until after midnight when I go to bed.  Of course I'm not going to leave them out there without some insurance in case somebody attempts to steal them, so I have a couple backup lights on out there, so if somebody does attempt to grab them, my security cameras will catch them in the act, then I can use that footage to report them to the police.

The pollution started to pick up a number of times while I was trying to take care of some utility bills on the house we're working on & ordering a few things we were going to need to wire the house for internet/television, but didn't stay strong for long enough that I felt I needed to say anything about it immediately & continued to get what I needed done.  While I wasn't intending on making another update tonight unless the pollution got strong (even though I had written the update for a future update), I started smelling cigarette smoke in my home office around 9:55 PM (even with the windows open & the air purifier running) as I started writing this update, so my plans of holding off on the update didn't last long.  The odd thing about this is that particular smell didn't start until I started writing the update, so I have to wonder if the person causing the problem is able to see what I'm doing on my computer.  The pollution is picking up however, as is the nausea from it, but currently I can't verify it coming from the normal culprit who causes the problem, so I won't be putting that URL to the online statement as to why I'm moving (and what might prevent my moving) in my window for the time being.

UPDATE:  Pollution is becoming a problem again & it’s the same hookah smell that comes from E26 all the time.  At this point the URL to the statement has be put up in my window again.  Should something be ripped off my door again, I’ll be throwing another link to the background report somewhere on the web.  At the steady increase in pollution, it is very likely I won’t be going to help my father work on the house tomorrow & I already stated this to him before he dropped me off.  As stated before, this not only slows down my ability to move out, but if it happens enough time, it could completely negate my ability to move out.

UPDATE:  The pollution from E26 is continuing, so at this point I’ve had to put my respirator on to help deal with it.  Seeing as I have my windows open trying to get some clean air in here, that means people outside can see I’m wearing it & start questioning why; considering the lights are on at night, that’s going to stick out like a sore thumb…that is, if anybody is still awake (the guy that’s causing the problem appears to be a night person, so I don’t think that’s all that uncommon around here).  Were it not so close to midnight, I would have the stream running, but if I can’t sleep because of the pollution, then there’s nothing stopping me from running the stream (not to mention another day of not working, which means another day I’ll probably get docked on towards not moving).

UPDATE:  One thing I ended up forgetting was that with that URL in my window, people really don't need to wonder why I'm wearing the respirator, because they'll know if they follow the URL to the statement as to why I'm moving.  Plus with that light on out there to make sure my security cameras catch anybody trying to steal my stuff out to air out, they likely can see what it says even at night.
