So much for vacations
Me: Man, my phone is going off like crazy. (taking it out)
Her: Well, we’ve been away for a while.
Me: (checking my phone) Oh no…
Because this was the first vacation I’d taken in over four years, and because I help manage my building, had a buddy housesit for me for the first time.
Well, that was a disaster.
The first six days were fine but the last day, my buddy, Pac – evidently – left the gas on such that the couple three floors above me smelled the gas at two in the morning and called the fire department and ConEd to try and break my gate down.
For better or worse, my gate held but it still needed to be repaired.
Still, no one was hurt and that’s the most important thing.
Although I’ve had five surprise inspections by ConEd and the Fire Department with a sixth scheduled for tomorrow.
So much for rest and relaxation. It was nice while it lasted.
Me: You had ONE JOB – NOT ALMOST BLOW UP MY PAD!
Him: My bad.
Me: OMG…
Him: I’m pretty sure it was Kong.
Me: I’m gonna kill you, revive you, and then kill you again.
Location: home, waiting for ConEd
Mood: not rested, that’s for sure
Music: Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired, blowing s__t up
