My damn apartment keys got delayed. Again.
First it was supposed to be done by 9. Then, "sometime in the morning." Now - after calling the locksmith directly instead of relying on the landlord -- I find out it's gonna be "sometime before 4, we promise."

WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY GET IN MY APARTMENT?

:argh:

4. You know, I've getting the vibe that this guy's a flake
I don't know why. But how would you like to wait for him to fix a serious problem down the road? :scared:

7. I don't have to wait!
I have the number of pretty much every service provider he uses in my hands. I call them and set it up my damn self -- and send him the bill. Works for me.

I get the impression that he's not so much a flake as he's one of those workaholics who neglects his wife and children. And I get a definite mafia vibe.

9. Oh good, then
Sounds like it's all under control. And as a writer, the mafia connection should prove invaluable to you for future material. :)

5. Why do you keep expecting things to go as planned?
They hardly ever do. You're setting yourself up!

14. Oh, shut up.
You are not. Maybe you don't know enough people in administrative jobs. We know far too well how often those kinds of commitments are blown off.

Hope you get your keys sometime today. (Knowing the people I've dealt with, I'd say even that's not a lock.)

Awful, awful pun, BTW -- was that intentional?

10. Is his name Tony?
That was Mrs. Beastman and my landlord. Always had his head up his ass with routine maintenance, yet always had the time to snoop inside our apartment when we were at work. It was aggrivating.

13. Leo.
At least I don't have to rely on him for routine maintenance (see above).
