Mutiny!!!!

Thank goodness for the bizarre little hat my mom convinced me to buy when I was in Houston over Christmas. It's a white knit cap with connecting ear flaps and a giant pom-puff on the top. I am under the distinct impression that it makes my head looks twice a big as it's actual size however I was drawn to it's functionality: head warmth and ear warmth all in one unit. I wear it often (especially on a cold day like today) and am usually self-conscious about it but since it performs a good service for me I continue to wear it. Several people have commented how it's so "cute" and "hey, I love your hat". However, I'm just convinced that the shock of it's appearance begs people to comment on it and instead of laughing they just humor me and tell me it's cute and I get self-conscious all over again. So if you see me wearing this hat please don't tell me I look cute or you like my hat because I won't believe you.

It appears that apartment-tenant mutiny is on the brink at 1500 Locust! I spotted a flyer calling for all citizens to report to the top floor TV room to discuss the elevator situation. The words that inspired me in the memo were phrases like "our safety is being compromised" and "nothing will be done unless we unite!" Hurray! Yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon. I've had it with freight elevators stopping in between floors, waiting for 10 minutes (and more) for an elevator to come to my floor, coming home to a 15 minute wait in the lobby after a hard day's work, the elevator cab continuously displaying the wrong floor number, and running desperately (insert Chariots of Fire music here) to catch the closing elevator doors and knowing that if you don't get on this one....it could be another 15 minutes. I'm fed up! I'm resolved! I'll be at the meeting to discuss the demise of our property managment. What will we seek as retribution? Maybe one....no, TWO months free rent! Will our plans involve camoufloged, middle of the night guerilla tactics? I can't tell you when the meeting will be because there could be spies reading, however, I'll report back after the fact. The residents of 1500 Locust have had it! It's time for SHOCK AND AWE!

As Kyle pointed out, it should be interesting to see how everyone makes it up to the top floor all at one time? It may take up to an hour to get everyone assembled??? What a disaster that would be. To be continued.....
