so the bad thing about condo living is that there is no shortage of people walking around with a key to my home (maintenance persons and such).  i can deal with this.  what i cannot deal with is these people just walking into my home whenever they feel like it.  there is a built-in deadbolt thingy on our door lock.  we generally keep it locked when we are here.  but the master keys that they have open it up.  i don’t see the point to this at all.  if the deadbolt thingy is locked, that clearly means that i am home and you have no business walking in on me.  simple right?  so hubby is at a dr appt this morning and the doorbell rings, which freaks me out anyhow because we’re certainly not expecting anyone and i’m alone.  while i am much less of a skeerdycat than i used to be, i still don’t like dealing with strangers when i’m alone.  so i jump up and am scrambling around for clothing that covers me so that i can answer the door.  but then i hear the front door opening and men’s voices.  half-dressed, i yell out, “is somebody in my home?”  and they answer that they are doing a fire inspection.  i hurriedly finish dressing and meet them on the other side of my bedroom door.  i asked them if it is standard policy to just walk into someone’s home instead of waiting for the door to be answered.  i followed the one man around while he did what he had to do and then made a point of walking them both out and immediately locking the door behind them.  i then called hubby and told him that we need to buy a true deadlock and put it on our door.  and i will.  this isn’t the first time this has happened but it was the first time that i was by myself and i also didn’t know either of the men that were here (we pretty much know all of our maintenance staff by name).  i’m so not okay with that.  and i think it is very poor policy on our CMA’s part to allow them to a) have the ability to override the deadbolt thingy and b) allow their people to walk in on people, especially owners.
