but it's on fire! there could be a baby in it, do you really want to burn babies!!

Just remember don't stomp out the flaming bag.

I'd also recommend locking your door. :P (My door was always locked when I lived in apartments.)

I'm giving them one more 'freebie' before I do anything. If they do try to get in here when I'm here, I'll:

a.) Remind them that they do not belong in here b.) Threaten to call the authorities c.) If need be, exercise the rights granted under the "Castle Law"

Call the cops/landlord.

Actually, threaten it first. Then do it.

No, more like that first 30 seconds when someone wakes you up at 3:30AM after you'd been deep in sleep.

Like when you were just starting to drift off to sleep?

I never said such a thing.

That is the same thing I told him. He told me to GTFO stupid.

Maybe she uses an alarm clock radio/stereo and forgot to turn it off before she left.

We never remember to turn ours off before we go out of town or whatever, and I'm thankful that we no longer live in an apartment or we'd probably have security guards at our door too. :)

All you have to do is tell them you're not that chick. (Hopefully they'll figure that out after seeing you.)

You're not obligated to do anything more.

They might think it's a little weird if you give them some leads you found on google or something. It could give them the idea that you know this person.

I agree. First, politely ask them to turn it down. If that doesn't work, complain to the landlord. If the landlord doesn't do anything, fight back with your own loud music. :)

All 3, in that order.

You should complain to the landlord. He/She should've at least given you some kind of notice, especially if you were expected to stay out of your apartment while the workers were there. Or at least alternate parking instructions.

You know what else is tasty? Wrap miniature sausages in bacon, line them up in a baking dish, sprinkle them with brown sugar, and bake them until they are cooked and delicious. WIN.

I can understand that, where I have to smell your moldy shoes every day. :P

I want cable that gives me shoes, even if it is just one or 2.

I may have had an upset stomach at the time, but no.

You shit your pants didn't you?

...And I still prefer houston to dallas.

Heh. Macguy offered to go take care of it for me. I called the leasing office to ask if they could send someone over, but I haven't heard back yet.

Maybe you'll get lucky and some desperate looters will take all the stuff from your fridge.

it would be sad to see it go.

I'll post later and explain.

So do they have a designated place for you to stay in Dallas? Or is it a free-for-all trying to get a hotel room before they're all booked?

As for #2, the company is VERY VERY good about covering expenses. All you have to pay for is food, and that gets reimbursed.

To add to this, there are a few things I am a bit concerned (but not stressed) about:

• Am I going to Dallas for sure? If so, when?
• If I do go to Dallas, how will I get there? Will the company cover all expenses?
• If I don't go to Dallas and the power goes out, will I have to take trips to my car to use the power inverter once in a while?
• If I stay here and it ends up flooding, will I have enough bottled water to get by until it's safe again?

Yes, doctor goooood.

Shirts are for the weak...and those not living in the Gulf region...

I think you'd look less weird if you were wearing a shirt. :P
