Things I didn't need this week.
Jul. 30th, 2008 08:30 amSo I have a crazy load of stuff to do at work, plus it's prod week for F@F5. (Which you should all come see. Dress rehearsal last night was... interesting... but it's actually gelling quite well.)
So Monday morning, first thing, my work computer chokes and dies. Spent much of that day (when I wasn't in meetings) waiting for the tech guy to get a new one in place and fix all the settings and so forth and so on.
Then last night, after dress rehearsal, I get home around 11:30, sweaty and tired and ready for bed...
...and my house key breaks clean off in the lock. Like, the metal just gave out and I was left holding the bit attached to my key chain, and the rest of it was in the lock.
Fortunately, a neighbor's light was on and she was still awake, so I went and got a phone book and found a locksmith. (This is one of those times when I'm really really glad I have a cell phone.) I was actually really impressed with him. He was pleasant and professional, arrived within half an hour, had the key out within 15 minutes, and even cut me a new one on the spot (I had a spare key, but he cut me a new one so I'd still have a spare). And charged what seemed a quite reasonable fee for a midnight call. So if you're in Camberville and need a locksmith, I definitely recommend Bonded Lock Service.
I'd like to have nothing else break, please?
