  • I married MacGuyver. Yep, you heard me right. Today I went into the office to do some bookwork and I accidentally locked my keys in my office. I thought I heard them jingle in my coat pocket and the moment the door latched, I saw through the window my keys laying on the desk. So I called John, knowing the answer, but asking just to be sure. He does not have a set of keys to my office. He has them to the store, but we do not have keys to each others offices. I really didn't want to call the manager in to unlock the door as he lives out in the country, so John came in to try to pick the lock. When that didn't work, I was ready to call the manager in. We pay him to be the manager and this is a mangerial-type duty. The manager is the other person with keys to my office because he needs to get in to the safe when I'm not there.


    I had just hung up the phone with the manager, who is really sounding like he doesn't want to come in on a Sunday (I can't blame him), when John decides he's going to move the ceiling panels and get into my office from over the wall. So, I call the manager back and tell him to not bother coming in YET.


    Well, John figures out he can't get over the wall in a place where there is furniture to jump down on because of plumbing, etc. He figures he's too fat and out-of-shape to jump down to the floor, but he can reach over the wall. So he asks me to find him a wire or string or something. We are a computer store. I haven't got a clue where I'm going to find a wire or string long enough for him to latch onto those keys, but in digging through the store room, I found a telescoping squeegie for washing the windows.


    The pole reaches the knob, but he can't get the lock to turn. So John sends me into the tech room for some powerful magnets recovered out of hard drives and some heavy-duty rubberbands. John attaches the magnet to the end of the pole with the rubberband, telescopes that pole across the room to the desk where my keys lay, and voila, he rescues my keys in grand MacGuyverish style. He's so sexy when he's being spylike.
