Hotel Security Latches

I am at a hotel with large, leaf-y, paisley-eske tan wallpaper.... sitting under a Fall Geese scene (geese gazing into a pond reflection also shared by a brick country home)... listening to La Bamba.... bloggin' on a computer that is for Business Use Only. If confronted, I'll tell them that this is what I do for a living... which, given my limited responsibilities at the U isn't far from the truth. The only real difference is that I am forced to use a web converter to get my Dvorak Keyboard fix.

When I got back to the room this evening, the security lock (that allows you to open the door partially to see who is there) was preventing me from entering. Not amused with my sister's shenanigans, I called her cell phone after knocking profusely. A quick cell conversation revealed that she was shopping for flowers at the grocery store and that our hotel room anti-burglar lock must have locked itself.

The manager said this happens frequently, but the hotel refuses to buy the tool to open the doors easily... so he taught me how to jack it open with a hotel keycard. This means I am now proficient at opening anti-burglar security locks and the simple push-button locks at my elementary school using any major credit card.... even Discover....
