Joseph's notebook

I guess it's only natural to start forgetting things after having been gateeeper here for 20 years. Take that code to the back gate that they change each month, for exampe. It's ony 5 digits, but I still forget it.

I figure the best way is to just set the lock to the first 5 digits of the serial number written on the back of it. That way, all I have to do is flip the lock over and read the number.

That might seem irresponsible, but I couldn't imagine anyone actuay figuring out that the combination is written right on the ock. The problem is whether or not I'll remember. God, I'm getting old...
