    what a great thing you are coordinating -- and how awful that some people feel so entitled, particularly those that don't have a far bike commute or do it much.

    At my desk/cubicle, I have four office drawers with locks, and I cleared one out specifically for my clothes. Is there a reason why some people can't do that? Or is there a way the office could order more locking office drawers for people to have at their desks, specifically for their clothes?

    Ah, but you didn't get to hear it all. I was thinking of some kind of cubby hole instead, but had trouble finding something fast, then I got this good deal on some used lockers. Which turned out not to be so good, because the seller, after I'd kept these on hold for 2 weeks, had fixed financing and was ready to come pick them up, discovered he had no keys. And they were locked. And the keys had to be ordered in from Germany (!) and cost as much as the lockers. I toyed with the idea of buying jsut the lockers and drilling out the locks, but they're in pristine condition and ruining them seemd plain stupid. So I haggled instead. By which point I was so frustrated that I was ready to pay for them myself and carry them home on my bike...

    We're only here for 2 years so everything is supposed to be temporary and "not cost anything", but dammit, I spend more time in my workplace changing room than I do in my own bathroom, and I really want it to work smoothly.

    Plus, I'm too easily distracted, and this is (marginally) more fun than hydropower licensing.

    way to go, lph!!!! What an exciting "problem" to have. I wish my work had to fight over commuter lockers (I'm the only one to ride to work).
    Congrats Ms. Locker Locator.
