sometimes i realllly hate our apartments. it took them TWO months to fix the washing machines in the laundry room. thankfully, i never had to wait to use the one "working" washer (no hot water) so it never bothered me. yesterday, all washers were working (hot water and all)! i celebrated by washing two loads in hot water. whoot!
i stayed up really late last night. i had to wake up early for my chiro appointment today. you can imagine my shock when i woke up in a foul mood. so foul david demandedinsisted when we get home that i take a nap. i was relieved when we arrived home. a nap is what i needed! anyway, our apartment complex has two fire alarms in each unit. one is battery operated the other is not. i suppose it's hooked up to electricity (what else would it be hooked up to?). i have had it go off before when i burned toast etc.. the noise it makes is worse than the battery operated kind. don't get me wrong, i am glad we have it in our apartment. it would wake me up in a jiffy if there was a fire! as i found out today. it went off for a full five mins. scared the living daylights out of me. cats running everywhere! i'm thinking, "OMG THERE MUST BE A HUGE FIRE IN OUR BUILDING AND SOMEONE PULLED THE FIRE ALARM!" (the alarm system informs everyone in the adjoining units to get out if you pull the alarm) so i ran out on my patio (half dazed as i had just dozed off for a nap and freaking out because if there was a fire, how the hell am i going to get my cats out?) there i am, like a big dork looking for smoke when a firefighter walks around the corner who sees me and says, "just a test!". WTF!!!!! it would have been realllly nice if our apartment complex had at least given us a letter of warning! afterwards, i heard him do the test on the building next to us and another confused/worried tenant stepped out on the patio wondering what the hell was going on. the look on her face was pretty damn hilarious. i heard the firefighter tell her, "just a test, did they not send out letters?!" HAHAHAHAHA.. poor guy, hes going to have a lot to deal with today. a lot of confused/angry people wondering what the hell is going on. i hope there aren't any grannies who have a bad hip or heart. it would suck if they injured themselves.
