Yesterday I ended up biking home from work early because I had a headache that would not go away. I got home at 1:30 pm. 1:30 pm. Remember that I got home at 1:30 pm! I get inside, bring my bike in and head straight for my room. Crashed on the bed and laid

That I of course, did not have, so I called my roommate who brought the money immediately. As he was getting my car down, I asked the manager when they put the signs up on the door.

I then asked her what time they were put up and she said “Around 3:00 pm.” To which I replied, “Well, I got home at 1:30 pm, my roommate got home at 2:30 pm and never after that did we go through the main
