I have a neighbor that's informed me that on more than one occasion she
came
close to calling building maintenance in order to break into my home when
she hadn't seen me in a while. The fact that I might operate on a
different
schedule than she does is a concept she still doesn't quite get. To be
fair,
last year the elderly gentleman that lived directly downstairs from her
died
while watching television on his recliner and wasn't discovered for a few
days.
