I had a bit of a run-in at the cage last week, and I just wanted to throw it out there so that it's clear to everyone because I somehow didn't know--ALL EQUIPMENT IS DUE BACK AT NOON! I thought the cage employee said mine was due back at five, but to my dismay when I called at 1:15 the day it was due to ask for an extension I was informed that I was already overdue and that I am fined fifty dollars! The ironic part is that I had tried calling earlier in the morning but no one answered the phone, and I was unaware that equipment can be extended via voicemail.
Learn from my lessons! Always get your extensions on time, leave a voicemail if you have to, and equipment is due back at noon.
Goodbye, $50 :(

Jenn, sorry about that and $50 is a lot for late fees. I had the same problem twice and I spoke to the supervisor who waived the fees for me. I thought about it and considered the fact that the equipments will not be returned by most of us if we do not have the steep fees to worry about. Sucks, really:-)
ReplyDeleteAfter interacting a bit more with the Cage this quarter, I feel your frustration. The people there are usually really helpful but they have their no nonsense days and I know how awful it is for us to fork over $50 that we may or may not have had to begin with. Just remember, check out after 2:00, return before noon... Quite the pain but I just keep thinking of the CDM students who deal with this way more than we do.

I am on the awesome list for my equipment being late and there's no way I'm paying the cage $50 for the camera being late by an hour. I told them to keep it and now I just uses a friend's camera. Boycott the Cage! lol
