[Me] heard what sounded like my window shattering today but it was fine so just thought neighbors dropped something glass
[Me] then tonight what I thought was totally unrelated my neighbor called
[Me] asked if my stove and hot water worked
[Me] so I turn on my stove, yup works
[Me] he said weird his didn't and he thought he smelled gas
[Me] turns out it was his upstairs window that fell and landed on gas meter and caused a gas leak in his and one other apt all day / night
[Me] that they just found, turned off their gas, opened all of the windows and will fix tomorrow
[T] ouch
[Me] so I turned on my stove with two apts around me full of gas :/
[Me] freaked me out once I found out how bad it was :P
So yeah I feel kind of guilty I didn't explore the glass sound more. But eh even my neighbor didn't realize his own window had broken when he got home tonight. And Brian pointed out in the rain we had me going to explore the side of the building when no one else seemed to be reacting seemed pointless. Needless to say even though my apt wasn't affected I have had my window opened all night since we found out, just in case, as the apt next to me and the one above me were filling with gas for a good 5 hours or so before the gas company figured it out and shut it off. The whole experience has had me a bit on edge tonight. Gas company says it is ok and they'll fix the two affected apts tomorrow but ugh, I have a severe fire phobia, I kept expecting our building to blow up or catch on fire.
In other news... Sinus infection from hell for days now so am living off of decongestants -- which I had to show ID for and sign a statement, which I guess is me agreeing I'm not using it to make meth with? Well probably agreeing I'm using for intended purposes but yeah I'm pretty sure they want to make me promise not to cook up meth in my apartment.
