Apartment Trash Chute Run: Moldy Soup Pot/Sweaty Underwear Edition

The BAR EXAM is in just THREE DAYS (!), and this will be my last blog post until then so I’ll make it really good. That said, THIS happened to me tonight:
After a 40-minute cardio workout, I got ready to take a shower. But before I hopped in, I decided to wash this pot half full of soup that’d been sitting in my sink for over a week. I’ve been putting it off ‘cause it had green and white foam on it, and, well, I just assumed that if I left it next to the sink for long enough, somebody else would wash it for me. (Live alone, bad plan.)
Because I don’t have a garbage disposal, I decided that I’d toss the contents of the pot down the trash chute, which is just ten feet from my apartment. I put my sweaty underwear (boxer briefs) back on, took the pot to the chute….bumped into the door, which spilled some moldy soup on me…and then threw the rest down the chute. I walked back to my door…and realized that I had locked myself out.
So there I stood, nearly naked, sweaty, holding a still-moldy pot, and locked out.
F#*k.
After a minute or two of freaking out, I knocked on a neighbor’s door. And I don’t know who answered, but I know it wasn’t my neighbor. It was some girl. And after two minutes of awkward conversation, I convinced her to go down to the lobby and get the spare key for me.
HOPEFULLY the bar will go smoother than that. We shall see.
WELL, now that I’m going on a three-day blogging break, I just wanted to say thanks again to all who bought and read Lawyer Boy. If you enjoyed the book or are feeling particularly generous as you read this, it’d be great if you could do these things:
1) Email a friend or two about the book. Or mention it on your facebook/myspace profile. Or your blog. Or maybe get a tattoo of the Lawyer Boy cover on your forehead.
2) Go to Amazon.com and write a review of the book. A handful of jealous guys on the law school web forum LawSchoolDiscussion.com have been encouraging people to write bad reviews of Lawyer Boy on Amazon.com without actually reading the book. (And I implore you not to stoop to that level, only review if you’ve read.)
3) Wish me luck on the bar.
4) Have a great week!

So this is the first time
So this is the first time I've posted on your blog.I should have done it sooner, you know, to congratulate you on graduating law school, to congratulate you on your book, etc etc. Instead you get this.....you get locked out of your apartment more than anyone I know! Perhaps you should look for an apartment with a door that doesn't involve keys. Or never leave your apartment. Or at least make a point to wear pants when you do, becasuse you know what's gonna happen.
WHY does situation you got
WHY does situation you got into not surprise me? I don't think it surprises Karen K at all either. By the way - HI Karen! Congrats on YOUR book too!
You should buy one of those
You should buy one of those fake rocks to hide your spare key. Just keep it right outside your door. It'll look natural.
Counselor Linda, I don't
Counselor Linda,
I don't think Counselor "Karen K." is the "Karen K" you think she is.
Beat of luck on the Bar
Beat of luck on the Bar Exam, Rick!
And don't worry, I know you will do great. Assuming you don't get locked out of the exam without any pants on, of course!
