HOW DO I WIN, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.

So we are PCI compliant at work. That means we can't have pens, papers, or cell phones on the floor, so we all have lockers.

Well, the locks they give us are combination ones and I'm bad at numbers, so after having my third one cut off (the first two because I couldn't remember the combination and the third one because they didn't seem to realize the locker was already assigned to the team it was supposed to belong to—mine) I started to buy my own locks with keys.

Well, I left my keys at home twice and had to get my lock cut off to get into it and then this most recent third time I decided I would leave the spare key on my boss's desk so if I left my keys at home again I wouldn't have to have it cut off.

So today I forgot to bring my keys to work.

And, of course, yesterday is the first day in the year I've been here that my boss has decided to clean out his desk. Meaning, of course, that he accidentally tossed my key because he probably forgot what it was.

So now I'm waiting on the maintenance guy to come cut my lock off again and then I've gonna have to spend another three bucks that I just do not have getting another lock for it.

FAIL.

Wow. That's.....insane. Can't you have a biggish purse with camouflage power bars, water bottles, etc., turn off your phone and jam it down in the very bottom? 'Cause the lock-routine would be getting way old.

Or, you know, key lock - key on shoestring around your neck. :)

Nope, no purses or bags allowed on the floor either.

can you do something like tape a spare key to your lock underneath the desk? or to the bottom of your stapler or computer monitor? maybe leave one in the glove box of your car? (I have no idea if you even drive a car XD) or if you carry a purse or wallet tuck a spare in the change pouch or a side zippered pocket.

Would remembering a word instead of a number work for you? If so you might want to try one of these:
