Fortunately, Irene Fleming was with me, so I had good company during the complex negotiations to get it fixed. The problem wasn't demagnetization. The lock battery had died. Did you know those key card locks have batteries? We learn something every day. ;)Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-29603405080663860422010-05-05T13:47:52.391-04:002010-05-05T13:47:52.391-04:00OH, the terrible demagnetizing...so frustrating!
...OH, the terrible demagnetizing...so frustrating!<br /><br />At my first Malice, I think, mine got demagetized a milliion times. I was so baffled! Then I realized that I had attached a flashing-red-lips magnet from Lipstick Chronicles to my name badge.<br /><br />Inside the name badge was my magnetized hotel key.<br /><br />Which of course, was instantly ruined by the flashing red lips. <br /><br Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-14630199707120927762010-05-05T13:43:12.449-04:002010-05-05T13:43:12.449-04:00Sandy -- It was so nice sitting next to you!

I dragged myself back downstairs and the clerk went up with the passkey and let me in. THEN I collapsed.
