It's a fire drill, not the zombie apocolypse!

There's one shift a week where I start at the same time as a young lad who is always running late. To the extent I arrive just after him, as I'm arriving early.

Being a young lad, he sprints from the very periphery of my vision. He covers about 300m (albeit downhill) in ridiculously short space of time; as soon as my brain registers him he's nearly across the bridge to the supermarket.

Seeing someone running so fast in an urban location, in the dark, is really quite unsettling. And I never remember which day our shifts coincide. There's a chance he's not often late, or I'm not always early, but I just remember the times I see him running as if for his life.

I would not survive a 28 Days Later style attack.

Shel, I'd suggest any number of amusing pranks to play on the Wacko.
But I think I prefer you alive and posting here...

Awww shucks! :-)
I wouldn't want to risk losing my apt. anyway. Especially since the apt. one floor up and across from me is VERY open about shooting gay porn pics near their window. LOL
Here are pics of my new place, BTW:

Nice place, looks like you can see quite far, what floor?

9th floor. There are 12 floors total.
The building is over 100 years old.

Here's the web site for it:

Hmm, Micro-Lofts® with gas & electric included for a mixed income community... that's an interesting business plan.
I hope it works out great for you, of course that shouldn't be too hard if it's only got to be better than Jersey.
