I’ve just talked to my advisor, he doesn’t think calling the campus cops will accomplish anything. We’re probably going to have a meeting about keeping the doors shut, even when there are people in the lab, and making sure that things get locked up during lunch.
Well said. I also entreat everyone to avoid using “dickhead” and “shit-for-brains” as insults, as a gesture of compassion to those of us burdened with those tragic, albeit rare, afflictions.
Georgia Tech is Not Secure. Trust me on this. Were you in Howey perchance? “Some people I knew” drove through there in a golf cart (property of GaTech) late at night once. “Some people I knew” also used several of the buildings as personal movie theatres and “some people I knew” also ended up with a full set of keys to one of the main computing buildings because they were simply sitting out in the open in a box labeled “keys to the main computing building.” Man, I could go on forever. “Some people I knew” were out walking once and they found the Nuclear Engineering building and the door was open, so they decided to go in and see what Nuclear Engineering was about. But, no one was behind the front desk, and the wall of CCTV tv’s were all blacked out/fuzzed out, and no one was in the entire fucking building, and they could have touched the nuclear reactor/core, if they weren’t worried about safety.
That should give you a general idea about that place. Basically, if you want security, you have to take it into your own hands. Buzz Card access ain’t worth shit, and the only times “some people I knew” dealt with cops was over the most insane, trivial, probably not even a misdemeanor stuff. Cops didn’t care about underage drinking, felonies, grand theft auto, criminal trespass, or anything. They only really cared if a black guy wondered in from North Ave. Very little else, including fires, would get them out of their 50+ police cruisers.
Fair enough, I stand enlightened.
