If the issue is software installation, drivers, or some other software-related issue, we can work on it. Most of these are short problems, so the machine does not stay in the DC for very long. If a warrantied computer is staying in the office, clearly mark it as a warranty computer and make a note not to open it.

Signs, Key, and Locking

Anytime you leave the DC unattended (no other student worker in the room) shut the door. Do not leave students who are not workers alone in the space.

If you'll be back in a couple of minutes (bathroom, bridge, etc.), you should leave a note. If it's the end of your shift and the next person hasn't shown up yet, flip the sign to 'Sorry, we're closed'.
