Yeah, that sounds right. Take some time, try again, then call Maria.

Ok, good. This seems like a plan. Also WTF!!!! This is a ridiculous thing to happen. Especially since my morning started with an elderly woman slipping and falling on the ice at the bus stop. She was OK, and the third lady at the bus stop was strong enough to bodily lift this woman up and pop her back on her feet, but still! And I had a sort of rage tantrum at work at IT, because there is this super sarcastic guy, who anytime I ask for help just says "We have a ticket system, put in a ticket" and I was already in panic mode about solving someone else's (non IT problem), got stopped by someone having an IT problem, and popped my head in where they were waiting for a meeting to start and asked if someone could help me. Dude, I was literally just asking you to take one burden off me, so I could solve person one's urgent problem while you solved person two's urgent problem. I don't have time to email to your ticket system! So I literally just walked out of the room without saying anything, in a huff. Which is super unprofessional. But this guy was promoted out of the lead of customer service into the lead of programmers for a reason, because he literally could not tell I was on the edge of tears to begin with and just needed help. The head of customer service (who he interuppted to say this, put in an urgent ticket for me, and we had help almost immediately!). But I want to punch this man in the face on the regular. Yesterday he would not believe me that I didn't have the name of a new TA wrong, because he couldn't find it in the system, and put a totally incorrect person in the course. Which I just went in and corrected myself, because I have the power, but they don't want me doing IT stuff. Aargh!

I got locked in my apartment once -- it is the worst!

And I just got locked in my house a few months ago! I had to call a locksmith too

My front door lock can get sticky when it's humid -- you have to kind of pull the handle towards you (the lock is higher up) so that the weight of the door is not pulling on the lock.

I hope you're out by now!

Sophia, calm~ma, and also wtf? Brand new locks should work and you deserve a break.

{{{Teppy}}} I'm so sorry you are always the one taking care of everyone else. Do something nice for yourself this weekend if you can.

ltc is asleep, TCG is at a meeting, and I'm watching Gargoyles on Disney+ just because I can.

Did other people watch Gargoyles in high school or was that just me and my weird friends?

I called the locksmith myself! I cannot get it open and couldn't get Maria!

I just told them my landlord allowed me to come in and collect some things, and now I am stuck!

Sophia, I hope the locksmith comes quickly and you can stay calm until you can get out.
