LOL, yes. Hadn't you heard about the new lockout policy? I only wish they had implemented it earlier so I wouldn't have had to give Scripps that measly $25.

I like that you talk to yourself in your head. I do the same thing ... only sometimes with movies of my own devising. :D Life is fun being stark raving!

Well, I thought we only got one free lockout. So while I knew about it, I didn't want to use it.
And as for talking to myself - talking to the universe is more like having a conversation with a person who isn't in the room, but who might hear you from, say, the kitchen. I say this because I occasionally get not only what I asked for, but also a bonus goody. Tonight, for example. *stops trying to explain her confused religious beliefs/specific kind of insanity*

Natural 21 on remember keys check, perhaps?

Also, Scripps charges for RAs to let you in, not just campsec?

keitess January 27 2009, 08:08:24 UTC

Can't have been a 21, or I'd have remembered them. Might've been a 21 on getting back in, though. *grin*
Yes, Scripps charges for everything. Fortunately for those of us living on campus, our new Student Council President is a wonderful, reasonable person and told them that this was just making us stop locking our doors and get creative on breaking into our own dorms - neither of which is really good if they want to keep people from walking off with our stuff...

I thought about expressing the roll in complex numbers instead, but figured that might be *too* nerdy.

And yeah, charging people for every lockout is a great way to counteract any campaign to get people to lock their rooms whenever they leave…figure that Scripps does at least nominally encourage that...

Many people I know do not bother to lock their doors. They rely primarily on our draconian escort rules, which, while irksome, do a very good job of keeping unauthorized persons out of our dorms. As a result, property theft rates are very low.

I also locked myself out today, though my bathroommate was home at the time, so it was only a minor problem.

Yours sounds less stressful. Still, I kind of like my story. I do tend to have sort of extreme luck.

They CHARGE you to let you back in?

Shit, they only charge us here if we lose our keys...

keitess January 27 2009, 20:00:11 UTC

Have I mentioned that the administration doesn't like us? -_-

I would have been out SO much money if A&M had that policy when I lived in the dorms

misaedra January 28 2009, 22:41:33 UTC

Actually, I think they did have a 2 free lockouts policy, but most of them didn't really keep track, so I just rotated which RA I asked to let me in. Yes, it happened that much. Imagine if we lived together

keitess January 29 2009, 11:23:25 UTC

Yeah, I'd be significantly poorer if I didn't know how to break in... Happily, my door is fairly easy to open if you know the trick to it and have a pair of hangers and some tape.
At least if there are two people living in a room, it increases the odds that someone will have remembered their keys on any given day!
