Last to bed, first to rise

But only on Fridays! And mostly cause I hung out at Al and Steph's til 2AM after babysitting. Thanks for staying asleep Alex!

This morning has been an interesting one. Got going a bit late on the account that I pushed my alarm back to the last possible moment I could set it and still have a quasi-reasonable chance of making it to work by 7:45. Now I wouldn't have made it at all except for the wonderful invention of U-Pass. Ironically I think Kleiner supported this back in the day when I was more indifferent although I did vote to continue it this week so rather karmic. So I managed to get to work at 7:46. This isn't technically late because the lab doesn't officially open til 8 but we are supposed to be there 15 minutes early to open the lab in case a professor needs to prep for class.

Get there and the door to the attached lab is wide open. The one with the "EMERGENCY DOOR DO NOT OPEN" in size 72 font that's bright red. Yup, one of the professors (who shall remain nameless although anyone who has worked a CPS shift prolly can guess) has gone and opened the door. Now thankfully he knows how to deactivate the alarm so security is not enroute getting ready to throttle the numbskull who ruined their coffee and donuts but still! DO NOT OPEN applies to everyone! Even the LAs aren't supposed to open that door. The only people who are supposed to go through are a) security b) people in a dire emergency. Everyone else is supposed to go through the main doors and the only ones who are allowed to open them are Lab staff and security. They don't even give maintenance keys to these rooms! (Kinda amazing how much power/authority they give the LAs but a lot of responsibility to be on time for opening shifts and to not abuse the power after a lab closes.) In the professor's defense he claimed to not know when I'd be coming so perhaps he honestly thought that I would arrive there at 7:59:59. I've been opening for 5 weeks tho and that latest I've come I think is -hang on I can check- 7:48.

Anyhow talked with him and stressed it's my butt on the line. This might not be true but they could argue cause I was late, by even a minute that he didn't know if I'd be much later then usual and he needed to prep for class. Kind of hoping this honest fear for my job and telling him that we're supposed to be here 15 minutes early for opening shifts will keep him from opening up from now on.

Alright, rant done. Surprised I could muster that much energy on 4 hours of sleep. I was in a really nice dream too when the alarm sounded :/
