Watching Paint Dry

Well, now I know exactly what that's like.

It seems the home owner's association for my condo complex has decided to paint the doors (both front and garage) of all the units. Now, they have made a point (as HOA's often do) of letting the tenants know that this is really our responsibility and shame on us for not doing this ourselves over the past dozen years and how it is only out of the goodness of their hearts that they are doing this JUST THIS ONCE. But, should it be me who did it myself or they who did it, what it means is that the front door and the garage door needed to be left open so that the contractors could paint them and let them dry. And thus, to allow them access to my place and then make sure that while the doors were left open nobody walked into my place and helped themselves to my belongings, that means I got to spend my day off at home.

Literally watching paint dry.
