Locked myself out when I was trying to take out the trash this morning, but it was only one lock and the owner's got a spare key. Missed my bus, but I was able to email the office and tell them why and that I was taking the next one. Got out of the Port Authority and into rain, but it turned out to be drizzle that mostly petered out while I was on the way into the office. Shark Week on the Discovery Channel (so to speak), but it started on Tuesday and the worst of it's passed.


I appreciate it when things do not go as wrong as they could go.

ETA: continuing in this vein, the spare key worked, but got stuck in the lock; on the other hand the superintendent lives next door and should have some WD-40 in a few hours, or something of that nature.

I'm glad you got back into your place okay! I once dropped my apartment keys down the elevator shaft by mistake and then had to stay at my parents' house overnight, until a technician could come to get them back.

After that I made copies of the keys. I keep one set at the office and gave another to my next-door neighbors.

I haven't actually gotten back in yet. I meant that I emailed the owner and now I"m waiting to hear from him about letting me back in, rather than having to call a locksmith. I'd originally given my spare keys to the next door neighbor, but he's the superintendent and he gave the spares to the owner.

At first I was like "how'd you manage that?", but then I thought "hmmm, a lot of elevators have a gap between the inner and outer doors when you get in..." and yeah.

Replied to the wrong thing. Nothing to see here, move along...
