So why was this a good idea?

Please, someone remind me why I wanted a place of my own.

I got home tonight, opened the locks fine (this is important) and changed to go to the gym. I walked over there and asked what I needed to do to change my membership, got the info and left (I needed a travel pass to work out tonight). So, I get back to my apartment approximately 15 minutes after leaving it, and cannot get the door open. I tried for a good 5 minutes and then decided that I needed to calm down and not get anxious. So, I walked up to the roof deck (I figured it would be a good idea to walk since I didn't get to workout) and sat down for a few minutes. I walked back down and tried again. No dice. My neighbor came home and she tried (a new neighbor, I may actually remember her name) for a few minutes and she had no luck either. So, I made my way down to the front desk. There they gave me the conveience key, I tired it for a few minutes and nada. I went back downstairs and they gave me the emergency keys, this time they didn't even turn the lock a little bit. I went back downstairs again and was advised to try one more time before we called in the after hours maintenance man... and this time? Success! Woo Hoo! Plus, I feel that I didn't miss the gym too much since I walked 37 flights of stairs.

Obviously I am in now, but I am never locking the top lock again. That is until the come to fix and/or replace it on Friday. In other words, please don't try to steal from me until then, it won't be much of a challenge.

Turk! I'm so glad you are safely moved in to your new home, and that you didn't stay locked out too long. I'm sure FP is missing you.

I thought your realtor was paying to get the locks changed? or maybe it's the new locks that are the problem?

Are you thinking of someone else Angela? Remember, not even a gift. In other words, no the locks were not replaced, nor paid for by my agent (although she is very nice and I would recommend her to everyone).
