That's a good suggestion, thanks goonsy. I don't have any glass jars, so I might try and adapt it by using cups or mugs or something. Unfortunately there is no window sill, so they'll have to be on my desk, which isn't wide enough to completely avoid jumping over. He would make enough of a thud that I should wake up though

I've thought about it some more, and I don't actually think his goal is to hurt or kill me, I think he just wants to get revenge on me by breaking my stuff, since he blames me for being kicked out. But he seems kind of unstable, so I'm not sure I'd rely on that alone to keep me safe.

When I get my tax refund, I think I'll invest in some home security stuff, like those little alarms that make that horrific noise if you open a door or window and maybe a couple of cameras. Really that should probably be the orgs responsibility, but if I go through them I can probably expect them to be purchased in late 2025, maybe 2026 at the earliest
