Another (small) tie severed

I severed a tie today that I didn't even know existed.  My building key fob essentially stopped working.  I was down to one door where it sometimes would work.  I know everyone in my building has been having door problems for a while now and so for weeks had been dealing with having to hold it a bit longer to get it to engage but this weekend, it just stopped engaging no matter how long I held it there.  Fortunately, there had been people around to let me in each time.  

With the office open today, I stopped in to get a new fob.  The leasing agent took my old one into the back and came back with a puzzled look on her face asking my name.  It turns out it was still under my ex-husband's name and listed the apartment we had shared together.  

I wonder if that means his fob is under my name or whether they just programed them both under the first lease holder name.  But I digress.

She went in the back again, got me a new one and made sure it was registered in my own name and apartment number.  And this one, although still pretty finicky, actually let me into my building.  Maybe the vibes from my ex-husband were causing extra interference.
