The noise which soundtracks an eternity in hell is that of the gate alarm…
Okay, so again largely uneventful today apart from non-stop to-ing and fro-ing for the gate due to some Careers event taking place. Things we learned on this, the 30th of September:
1) The remote control for the DVD player will not make the plasma screen work, no matter how many times you press the 'on' button. I realise that this is common sense and merely an example of my inherent ineptitude.
2) Make sure you turn the microphone off after making an announcement… that way everyone in the Grid doesn't hear your ensuing conversation over the PA. My bad there.
3) Books from the main library tend to set the sensor off on the entrance. This is a bit of a bind but thankfully I haven't run into anyone nicking our stuff yet!
4) My new favourite thing is people who swipe their wallets over the gate sensor in the hope that it'll magically open for them. Not simply opening their wallets and swiping the envelope with their card in, you understand – literally just swiping their entire wallet. Ridiculous.
5) People are hungry for printers.
"That is all", as they used to say on M*A*S*H.
Chris.
Stop press – someone just tried to exit with their Switch card. Genius!

Hey – the wallet thing works well (for both university house AND the sports hall so far), and if you have a thin wallet, its a lot easier just swiping the whole thing over rather than opening both sections in mine that house the cards, and then having to flick through them all to find the right one! :)
