I’m sitting on the sidelines of a Jiu-jitsu competition and I have some time to kill.
I locked myself out of my apartment today… because I have one of those places that locks automatically once you close the door.
I have a whole set of keys that I keep on a World Gaming lanyard, only two of these keys open my apartment (front door and main door keys.) I took these two specific keys off of my key ring this morning so that when I went to get coffee I wouldn’t have to carry around a, what feels like, a heaping jumble of keys in my pocket/hand. This went fine, I grabbed the right keys and left for coffee.
Of course I came back, put my apartment keys down, packed for jiu-jitsu and travel, grabbed my lanyard of keys (which my apartment keys are no longer attached to) and left… my door automatically locking behind me. Only when I went to lock the front door did I realize I had the wrong keys.
I’m not screwed – as my neighbors and landlord have keys to my place – just embarrassed, and annoyed at myself.
I called my neighbor (who is also my real estate agent, also how I got the apartment) and he and his fiancé are somewhere else for a wedding… so I’m pretty much locked out for the night. If I wasn’t traveling to another town after this competition then I’d be semi worried.
This is my life… you will learn, eventually, that it is full of sitcom worthy material.
