Well, my dorms were combo locks, but sadly I think your only option here is to have a spare key on a lanyard around your neck. Or maybe to hide one in the common area of the house.

yeah, usually i have my key with me. this one time, i didn't because i ran out to use the bathroom in nothing but my underwear.

I've been locked out of houses, apartments, rental cars, etc. so often in the past that I've intentionally trained myself to check for keys before I'm even able to step through or close a door. It's like a self-inflicted OCD thing, but it has since spared me a lot of grief.

Over four years ago, I applied for a job, and they said they'd let me know their decision by the end of that month. I actually still haven't heard from them.

When I originally took my job in Houston, I'd also had a successful interview in Atlanta, but never heard back from them. About two months later I got a call from one of the Atlanta people: "Hi! Just wanted to follow up, but first a quick question -- where is area code 713?"
Me: "Houston."
Her: "Oh, crap. We're too late, aren't we?"

for an "illegal" skill, it's amazing how many problems that would land you in jail the ability to pick locks solves.

Doctors do not listen to patients. Nurses do.

The first time i had my foot opperated on I warned them that even for my considerable weight, I still took a lot juice to keep under. Bring enough for the entire class. (the plan was twilight instead of full anesthetic)

"Oh don't worry it'll be fine.

Told the nurse "i may pop awake on you. Do NOT offer to hold my hand

"Why?"

"Because fingers are important and you might not get them back

Sure enough the Novocain started wearing off. I come too on the table with forceps in my toe. "Mr Wolfe, do you know where you are?"

"I'm having a sesimoid bone removed from the inter phalangeal joint of the great right halux...

....blink . Blink... "Ok more anesthetic over here..."

I point up, up up.... get the buzz. Make an OK sign. Pass out.

Second to operation. They.. didn't get the memmo from last time. I get on the table and start fiddling with the arm rest. Doctor asks why. Said i wanted to see if it was sturdy enough to pull on if i woke up in pain. He said don't worry, you won't wake up.

Cue a few minutes later, I'm chatting with him about the smooth ratcheting action on the doctors hex driver taking my screw out. he starts tying my arm down to the table and i tell him i don't think tapes going to cut it. He says its silk, and we start talking about how the mongols used silk for arrow proofing and how strong it is.

He was right about the silk tape. He was however wrong about the table. Bent that sucker right up. (and back down on my way out)

Third opperation "Why does your doctor have "PUT HIM UNDER" underlined in red in big print letters for such a minor procedure ?


That story sounds......like I sincerely hope I never need surgery.
