Done. But you're paying!
Sometimes drips can escalate to waterfalls and a lake in the middle of the apartment in less than 5 minutes. That's what happened to me last August, and it would have been worse if I hadn't actually been awake (it happened at 4:30 am).
That was the fastest I ever rescued 3 shelves' worth of books, and got very firm with the customer service (the phone lines are open 24/7/365) people that I could not wait one minute longer than it would take a plumber to get here.

Why we should be banning huawei kit:
I have a bit scathing about banning huawei kit (like the UK has done), in that the whole point about the internet structure is that you should not have to trust the intermediate nodes. However I have changed my mind, not because they may be nefariously trying to break our interwebs, but because they cannot code.
I came across their consumer privacy statement, and they serve it up with a bit of javascript. On the "dirty toilets in a restaurant" basis, in that this is what they are showing people who knows what is going on with code they do not distribute, no one should touch any of their stuff:

- It does not work. It has one job, and it fails at it.
- I think they are just trying to serve up on of 4 different policies, China, Russia, EU and rest of world, with some language variations. They do that with a 1000 line javascript file (I repeat, that does not work)
- They are trying to populate an iframe, which is dirty and completely unnecessary as it will occupy the whole page. Should be a div.
- They are using massive lookups where it looks like simple substring operations would work
- Then they try to do it with regex'es, and they look dirty (and fail)
- They have odd mixes of english and chinese in the comments, and a rather odd set of comments anyway
- They have commented out code left in production
The above code works for me, but for the rest you're probably very right.
My girlfriend is driving herself nuts, and by proxy now me too.
She started a new job in January. Last month, a job advert for a very suitable PhD position got forwarded to her, and she liked the project, so she still applied. She's not really looking for other jobs, but this looked apparently really good.
She had already updated her CV, and put down her current boss (the one since January) as reference.
He gave a bad reference, and therefore she didn't get the job (this was mentioned as the reason).
Which is not very professional from him, but understandable (also given that one of the bigger competitors in the area seems to be actively hiring people away from them, and they have problems getting more).
If it was me, I'd now put this down as moronic mistake from my side, and would swallow it. She can't.
In the first meeting they had afterwards she started crying in the end (yeah...), but didn't tell him why.
He seems to be now genuinely concerned (and he's also very happy with her work), and asked her to talk to HR, and if necessary the company doctor.
She talked to HR, and told her about other things (e.g. her dad, who has advanced Alzheimers, recently stabbed himself), which they fully understood .
So... there's actually no real problem here from anyone higher up, but she's stressed as hell. (not that I understand why...)
A part might be that the workload is high, because they actually wanted to have 2 people, but couldn't get more, due to mentioned problems. (she actually also got a job offer from the competitor, shortly after starting at the company, so... they're on the hunt, as it seems). And she's a bit of a perfectionist, so she's actually trying to do the job of 2 people, which can't work.
She's also a person where the word of a supervisor has a lot of weight (might be a cultural thing, a greek friend of mine behaves similar), so she really get's stressed out if she thinks he could be unhappy (which he isn't at all, as it seems, but not that this helps, *sigh*).
She started crying a lot when she recently had to postpone a meeting with her supervisor for 3 days (that was before, so unrelated). A meeting, on which nothing external is dependent on, just to check how her progress is in the new job. And she postponed it, because she thought she'd need to read 10.000 more papers for her presentation.
I'd have loved to say something like "You're totally ridiculous right now", but I guess that wouldn't have been beneficial for my relationship
.
I wished she'd just cool down, but I'm not sure if she's familiar with that concept 
*sigh*.

and 
and tell her she's a good person who is doing a great job (whatever it is), and some of us totally understand the stress that comes with having a parent with Alzheimers.(not a practical solution, but at least let her know that strangers are hoping things work out)
So... don't look at them?
Are there other places you can go for walks?

Get a dog. Makes long walks less boring.
Dogs require upkeep and also would get to force walks. If I ever get a pet, it would be a cat (and even that is unlikely).
Honestly, the only kind of pet that would suit you would be the kind that requires no care at all. No feeding it, no watering it, no vet appointments, no walking it, no cleaning up after it...
In short, you need a pet rock. The only care they need is an occasional dusting.
