Another reason to ride a bike to work.. Can't get stuck in garage as I could always go out the front door.
But then again, my brother-in-law installs electric garage doors for a living. So we would just call him up for some new springs pronto.
Hope you at least enjoyed your day off!
You can always look on the bright side, if you took a sick day and got paid for it, at least you can deduct the cost of the repair from the sick time. If this happened on a non-working day, you'd be really off.
