Working Out The Kinks

When we moved into the new building the semi-private women's restroom nearest our chambers did not lock. It had a lock on it, but it was a purely decorative lock. So, we wrote "In Use!" on a pink post-it-note, and every time we went into the bathroom, we put the note on the outside of the door.

Last Friday, they put a new lock on the door. This one works, altho it doesn't feel very secure because it is hard to tell when you have locked the door unless you actually try the handle from the outside. But fine, better than a post-it note. Except that today someone locked us OUT of the bathroom. Nobody was in it, but the door was locked and there is no key. So, we got a maintenance guy to unlock it with a screwdriver.

Today's lessons: (1) You must purposely UNlock the bathroom door when you leave and (2) do not use the bathroom when there is anybody with a screwdriver in the vicinity.
