Night Shift: Windy City

So tonight, Chicago is suffering from strong winds, including gusts up to 50 MPH. This makes walking around very fun...

I am in a building tonight with doors on both the east and west sides of the lobby. Due to the winds, whenever a student opens the doors on the east side, they stay blown open and never close. Besides thwarting our security scan system (why scan to unlock a wide open door) this also causes a pressure situation in the lobby which makes it very difficult to open the west doors. So even when the kids scan and unlock those doors, they pull and pull and remain trapped outside. I am then accused of "locking" them outside, to which I can only suggest a better gym workout plan.

The most recent side effect of the wind is that with the doors constantly being open, the lobby has gotten very cold (it is currently 21 degrees with a wind chill of 4). To solve this, I was given a space heater which quickly tripped the circuit breakers and shut off my computer security workstation. So things are going well...
