Jul. 25th, 2006 11:23 amSir? I know you're not an idiot. I know this because you've survived living in another country and being a graduate student. All signs point to you not being an idiot.
So, please, sir. When you find that a freezer won't open. A freezer with valuable enzymes in it. When you find that it won't open, please don't wonder what is wrong with the freezer. Plesae please don't look down at the small silver hole on the side and decide that the best idea would be to stick your pen into the hole and see if that will allow you to open the freezer.
That hole is called a lock. By sticking your pen in there and opening it, you just picked that lock. So, having picked that lock, you decide that you need to remove those enzymes and take them back to the lab.
Thank goodness you're at least an honest person! You came, filled out the forms, and let me know that there was something wrong with the freezer, and you had to stick the pen into a hole to get it open.
*facepalm*

on 2006-07-25 05:34 pm (UTC)That is really more idiotic than this guy. The other freezers in the room they're allowed to get in whenever (I suppose. I don't manage those) so he just assumed he was allowed in this one.
I put a nice big sign in multiple colors on the freezer saying not to access the freezer without me. I even put my room number (which totally isn't marked in the hall, muwahahah!)
