I do so hate people...

Just when you think it can't get worse... well, it does.

I live in an apartment. I am fortunate enough to have a garage to stuff with all my junk and clutter, and stuff it, I do. This means that I only go out there when I have something to stuff in or am looking for something amongst the clutter.

Today, I chased the Dragonette out to put some boxes in the garage, since I'm tired of them hanging out in the dining room.

He comes back to inform me "There's a hole in the wall."

I go out to check. By god, there sure as shit *IS* a hole in the wall, between my garage and the one next to it. A hole big enough for an athletic-minded person to comfortably climb through. Roughly three feet by four feet.

So, now it's decision time. Management is going to fix the hole - bloody damn well they'll fix it! - but I am now left with the fact that people can break in at will. Do I just shrug and leave the junk in there, or do I go out and rent an off-site storage room? That was one of the things that sold me on this place; the idea of having a garage to keep my over-flow of yarn and books and other stuff.

And I guess I'll be even more suspicious of my 'neighbors.' Great. Just fucking great. I feel like alarming the garage. I wonder if I could use cattle wire? Probably not; people are so freaking *concerned* about the criminals, screw the rest of us. I say if they want to steal, let them take their chances with high voltage.

I guess I will be looking up the closest storage facility. ...goddammit to hell...

Management says they'll 'get right on it'. Sure. I even told the guy it sucks that the other garage is unlocked. He finally said they could put a lock on it, if it's vacant. But I don't think it is; I think the guy is just gone for a few days. He's some kind of musician, I think. He takes off for 3-4 days at a time.

I have no room at all to bring stuff in... I'm thinking very seriously about just getting a storage room. And wondering if I could save $3000 between now and the end of August. That's what it would cost me to move. I kind of doubt it... Next year, sure, but not this year.

The roommate will be home tomorrow, so I'll clue him in, and maybe he'll feel like having a fit for them. This just absolutely bites...

Too bad there isn't some kind of 'Rent-A-Rottweiler' program you could get with. Wouldn't that just surprise the hell out of some punk kid when he went to crawl through the hole? ^^;
