Apartment

So I'm sitting in my new apartment writing this instead of finishing unpacking and putting things away. At first it may seem strange that I have been here for three weeks, and it looks like I just moved in this weekend. But then again I am the guy that spent longer looking for an apartment than most people do looking for a house to buy. By the way if anyone is planning on moving to Orange County (CA, not FL) I have seen every apartment complex there is, and could give you a brief synopsis of my 20 or 30 favorites.

I'm finding out that Apartment living is a little different than living in a house. (I haven't lived in an apartment since I was 20. And yes I admit that was 5 years ago, ok 6, ok it was 7 years ago but who's counting) The biggest frustration so far is that little call box, that is linked to your home phone to let people in the entry gate. When they installed this did anyone stop to consider that some people do not set up a home phone number? Why would I have a home phone when I have a cell phone that has over a thousand unused minutes a month (more on this later)? Plus if they can connect it to your home phone why can't they connect it to a cell phone? Seem like a bit of functional obsolescence to me. So now I sit here wondering. Do I (A) order the pizza for delivery and meet him at the gate (which I would have to drive to) (B) Order the pizza for pick up and drive to the restaurant (is this even really an option), or (C) Drink a Guinness, and skip dinner. I mean it's practically a meal replacement, right?
