{the nekkid story.}

Thursday evening, I came home from work

and saw extremely wet carpet surrounding our apartment in the common hallway that everyone uses to get to their front door. I thought, Great, I bet the problem is in our bathroom. So I walk inside our apartment, go to the bathroom and Yup, my feet are on a nasty, squishy rug.

I thought, I can handle this. So I called the leasing office. Oh, they have closed early. I call the emergency maintenance line. Here’s what they tell me:

* Sorry, we can’t find your address in our files. Are you sure that is the right address?
* We’ll do our best to send someone out.
* If no one comes, will you call us back?

At this point my foot is doing some serious tapping. Getting very annoyed… I did what any good woman would do and called Zack. I knew he could handle this for me ;]

And Zack did handle it for me.

About 20 minutes later a plumbing company calls to say “Joe” is coming, but Please, if he has an attitude, will you call me back and let me know? We’ve been having some problems with him lately.

I should have charged the guy $15 for babysitting duties, but I just said OK and hung up.

Joe arrives. Thank goodness he left his Man Drama at the office. Soon the leasing manager shows up, too. They realize the water isn’t coming from the floor above us (we are on floor 2), so it must be coming from floor 4 or 5.

EWWWW?

They also realize the water is coming from a clog in the washing drain pipes, so maintenance will be by tomorrow and they’ll figure it out.

It is now Friday morning, and Zack and I are at home getting ready. It is always so warm in our apartment, so because of this Zack and I never get dressed until it’s time to leave (TMI? Sorry, more TMI is about to come)…

I’m in the bathroom, drying my hair, the box fan is running, the light is on so the bathroom fan is automatically on. And remember, I’m nekkid. Suddenly Zack starts yelling at me to HIDE, GET IN THE BEDROOM! HURRY MAGGIE, HIDE!!!

I’m thinking we have a burglar in the apartment. Great, and I’m nekkid.

I had to turn off the blow dryer to hear what he was saying, and also the bathroom light (so the fan would shut off), and suddenly it’s dark and I’m being told to HIDE! HURRY! so I start running and run into the fan, then the wall, finally I make it into the bedroom. I’m looking at Zack like WHAT IS GOING ON?

He tells me to get dressed. I start doing the “Adam & Eve, I’m naked cover-up dance” and tell him No, you get dressed!

Zack says,

Maintenance is here, get dressed. They just saw me naked.

I said to him, Well, where are they now?

Turns out Zack was walking into our bedroom (nekkid, remember) when maintenance walks right into our apartment. They exchange glances before Zack shouts OUT!!!!! NOW!!!!! and then he runs into the bedroom where he proceeds to yell at me to HIDE! HURRY!

Once he gets dressed he goes to the door and starts sternly talking to them: Why are you here? Why didn’t you knock?

I don’t care. My wife and I are getting ready. Bye!

{door shuts and I hear Z turn the deadbolt}

And there I was, doing the “Adam & Eve nekkid dance” in our bedroom, laughing uncontrollably.

P.S. Maintenance was a woman, the plumber was a man. LOL!
Oh, what a day! :]
