One of those days…
10:58 PM - April 18th, 2006
I didn’t sleep well last night. I kept waking up. At 6:30 AM, I just forced myself to stay up. I got to see the stock market open—Yahoo! Finance’s quotes going from yesterday’s closing price to the first prices of the day. And I watched from the sidelines as the market jumped because of the Fed’s report (we’ll talk about why I didn’t get in yesterday another time). I watched some anime eps off YouTube (seriously, how long before lawsuits shut that place down?) while forcing down breakfast (stomach not feeling too well).
All in all, not the best way to start the day, but I manage. Work time rolls around and it looks like I’ll be getting to work earlier than usual. Slip on my jacket, don my cap, get my bag, put on my shoes, grab the door knob, twist, pull, and…
*snap!* The door knob breaks off! I stare at it in disbelief; the door knob in my hand and the door still closed. My thoughts turn to dread: what if I’m locked in? “Sorry boss, I can’t come to work today. I can’t even get out of my apartment.” Slowly, I regain my composure. Using a pair of pliers, I’m able to open the door and finally get to work.
You know what worries me though? What if the door knob on the outside breaks off too? Shit, knock on wood.
(btw, anyone have the Ichigo 100% OP single? =))

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read from you in quite a while, Quad. ::rofl:: But, my sympathies dude. You do have your apartment manager’s 411, yes? ::chuckle::

You know, because I was locked out of my apartment awhile back, the tumblers on the outside knob are drilled out already. So when I move out, the door knob / locks will have to be replaced anyway. But it provides the whole “then locked out, now locked in” angle that I didn’t exploit.

I tried emailing you this morning, but the email got bounced back to me. Did you change your address?
