Oops, I did it again! (Sorry I just couldn't resist)
Yesterday I went out for a quick trip to the Staples for a cable I need for my new printer (hooray for the ability to print at home!) and PetSmart for chew treats for Cammi (she's completely neurotic without them). I passed the Safeway a noticed they had Gernaiums $1 each - which is a pretty good deal.Since my one weekend of planting I haven't been in the garden and it does need more flowers because it's looking a little sad now that the tulips are mostly gone and I was already there and all so I picked up a flat (10). Ran to the car to drop them off before heading into Staples. I found what I wanted and as I was checking out didn't see my keys in my purse.
It was at this point my stomach sank and I knew exactly where they were, safe and sound, on the front seat of my car.
Luckily my phone still had one whole bar of battery left so I quickly called Mom to come and let me in. She's not there. I called her cell. No answer. I called work to let them know that my quick trip was going to be a little longer than anticipated, then called a friend to have her look up some numbers for me. Of the three she gave one answered - no problem, he was local and on the way.
I went into PetSmart and got what I needed and only had to wait 15 minutes in the parking lot before the lock man was there. I, however, did have to wait over 30 for him to get me back into my car. The other day, less than 30 seconds. Yesterday over 30 MINUTES?!?!?
Sometimes longer is not better. I even told him how the last guy got in - you know, to be helpful - and I'm not sure if he was being an ass and not listening because he thought he knew better or what - which in most circumstances I'm sure he would (know better) if I hadn't just done the same thing not even two weeks prior - but it was annoying. Turns out he did get in a different way but in the process completely screwed up the weather stripping stuff on my passanger side door that took an additional 10 minutes to fix.
Oh, and it took him at least 5 to get his tool out of my window... (does that sound remotely dirty or is it just me?).
Oops...
