I miss a “just have a nice chatter about your daily personal life” community. What to ask?
I tell you about mine. I was at a meetup yesterday of the local CCC (chaos computer club) in vienna. it was 20 years of CCC vienna meetup. was fun, met a lot of cute people, was too shy to talk to any of them, now i’m here sitting in my room bored and wondering what to do.


Low function day. I am supposed to be finishing cleaning my room, but by the time I did laundry and went shopping and made lunch I ran out of energy and had to lie down, and that was the end of that plan.
This is bad because my roommate is very unhappy about the state of my room, which is abysmal (the mice that live in my walls shit on everything and it stinks), and I would like to fix it so that he feels better about it. I tried to hire a maid service to come clean the apartment, but the one I contacted said they wouldn’t come out if we had mouse droppings, I guess because of the risk of sickness. So the plan is to get things clean enough that I can tell them the mouse droppings are cleaned up so that they can come out, but obviously I struggle to clean which is why I needed help in the first place… I wanted to get it done over the weekend but the weekend has now ended, so we’ll have to see if I can get it done tomorrow.
honestly, my best advice is just to burn everything down with fire at this point (figuratively).
i.e. just take a big black plastic bag and put everything that’s laying on the floor into it; close the bag and throw into trash. Don’t even bother with distinguishing different types of garbage. just throw it all away. using this crude approach, you need very little mental energy, because you don’t need to think about each manual step so much, and it’s quickly done. Then, when most garbage is gone, you can call the maid for further steps.
Why don’t you get professional exterminators to deal with the mice?
