Oct. 17th, 2009 12:30 amNothing quite like stumbling to the front door in the morning, already a bit late for work, and discovering that you are locked inside your fucking apartment.
The deadbolt on the front door has gone tits up, apparently. It now will not unlock from the inside. Stuck in the locked position, I mean. Nice, huh?
A hastily woken Engineer and a carefully applied screwdriver (not in that order) got me out the door to work and it's sheer, blind luck that this happened on the Engineer's day off so he could stay home all day. Not so good for the rest of the weekend, as despite numerous phone calls to the rental office to come fix this shit now, the deadbolt remains broken and untouched by maintenance man hands. At least one of us must be in the apartment at all times, or we won't be able to get back in (can't jimmy it from the outside because that's precisely what deadbolts are meant for).
I've got class in the morning and I swear by all that is holy that if this isn't fixed by the time I get home (or is in the process of), I am going to blow up the goddamn moon.
