Well I really kicked myself in the dick tonight!
We had a fairly big launch party. Love DJs (not too bad) many Newtons louder than they needed to be. Hundreds of corporate suck holes. 2 event planners that couldn't plan a root in a brothel. And many hours of it just going on and on and on...when it finally comes to the end and everyone has gone home and I am locking down the building I see the kitchen guys have left all their lights etc on. Every fucking time...so tonight I decide they can have a small amount of inconvenience tomorrow morning and I will lock all their storage. It wont be huge, but only a couple of them have the necessary key, and that inconvenience is enough for me.
Hmmmm this fucking lock is sticky and jammed full of shit. I wrangle my key in, lock the door, can't get my key out. It is 1:15am. I jiggle I wriggle I pull and I push. I get nowhere. I fin some vegetable oil and trickle a tiny bit on the key and wriggle and jiggle then the key pops out. But the latch is locked. So now my key is lubed up, I slip it back in the lock and fuck me it is stuck again and I can't unlock the door. This time it is proper stuck and not going anywhere. I decide fuck it I'm going home and I'll come back in the morning...no I won't. I need that key to get my backpack, house keys, and bike. Ahhhh yes my multi tool would be useful right now, but it locked away in my backpack.
So now I am MacGyver because fucked if I want to walk home and break in here. I've got a fork, butter knife, some other bits and pieces...then I see the cordless drill with the correct bit on the end. I have to pull the entire door handle - lock assembly out of the door. Get my key out and fuck me the lock barrel won't go back into the frame. More fucking around ...but I win. Whole door back together. It's only 140, not too bad.
