ebonlockOk so yesterday morning before heading up to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elo_sf's for a lovely July 4th get together I noticed some broken thick glass on my kitchen floor. Not much, just a few pieces, it was weird but not alarming so I cleaned it up and didn't think much of it. This morning before heading out the door I bent down to pick something up and my eye was caught by some cracks in the glass on my oven door. Deeply puzzled I opened the door and the glass from the window fell in a million pieces at my feet.
Now I'd used the oven briefly on Monday evening to heat up some pastries and had no problems, noticed nothing odd, nor had I kicked the door closed or even laid anything hot on it. And the inner glass on the door is fine. Tuesday, no problems and I didn't use it. Wednesday as soon as I got up it had shattered. There was nothing that could've bumped up against it, I only have a Swiffer floor mop and it was sitting at an angle that couldn't possibly have fallen over and hit it and of course it was upright that morning. Just me and the cats in the apartment at the time.
I have absolutely no idea what happened so I went looking around on Google and discovered that this seems to be a pretty common occurrence, oddly enough. I've never even heard of such a thing, and the oven was brand new when I moved into the apartment so it's only like 7 months old at this point. Fortunately I got a hold of the manager and she was really cool about it. They're sending someone over to take a look and hopefully replace the door. It's just so...weird.
On a positive note someone is stopping by tonight to maybe take the tv stand off my hands and if she doesn't I have another prospective taker I can contact. Also you know how I said one of the brackets had gone missing from my new tv stand and I'd had to jury rig a replacement? Well I happened to be digging through my crochet bag yesterday and found it in there. How it got in there I have absolutely no idea, especially given the placement of the bag and how it was carried into the living room.cyranocyrano if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. In any case I put it on last night so my tv stand is now complete, yay!

Date: 2007-07-05 05:28 pm (UTC)I had left a note on the door indicating that I had made my weekly run over to the accounting building and I would be back in 20 minutes, and locked the main door to my building, just in case. I come back to find he has opened the door to my building (his office is thankfully in a separate building), covered my desk (both sides of it) in 24" x 36" plans and locked every single office in my building. I do not have the key to every office in my building. Neither does he. The set of master keys? In one of the offices I didn't have a key for. And he's at a loss as to why this bothers me. In a sad everyone-always-picks-on-me voice, he's all "I was just trying to help."
Luckily his boss, the head PM for the New Hospital project (and not-so-ironically, the other guy who is a dick about contributing $5 a month), just got in and although he didn't think he had either of them, after much trial and error with his set of keys, it turns out he did have them.
I think I would have preferred to be alone all day. Thankfully, they have their own building and shouldn't harass me much. If they touch my coffee or soda, though, I'm going to kick them in the balls.

Whew. I needed to do that. :)
