Ummm...hello?

I should be on my way to work right now. Instead I'm sitting here blogging because I am locked inside my apartment. That's right, I am trapped in my own apartment. Maintenance is on their way over because the deadbolt lock on my front door is broken. Apparently it locked just fine when my roommate left for work, but I keep twisting the little knobby thingy and IT WON'T WORK! I live on the third floor, so the window's not an option. My tool box is in the trunk of my car, but even if I could get the lock taken apart and leave, I'm not sure I could get the door locked again. This is BG (aka kleptomania) there is no way I'm going to work for ten hours and leaving my apartment unlocked.

At least my boss thinks it's funny.
