Teaching and useless skills

So last night, as we were finishing up a TA meeting for a lab class for which I am middle management, one of the TAs noticed that the filing cabinet with the labs in it was locked, and none of us had a key for it. It needed to be open, and everybody who might have a key was gone for the day.
So I resorted to going out to the street, and finding a street sweeper bristle, and making a set of lockpicks to open the lock. Never mind that I haven't picked a lock since I was in college. And I'll be damned to say it, but it only took around 20 seconds to open that lock!
