Here is a comment forwarded from OLC,
This question is NOT related to my porevious one. I want to report that
although the postings on tha W20-575 cluster were informing people that the
cluster would close at 4pm, Dec 31, a lady came some minutes ago asking us
to leave at 3pm! When I protested she told me "that I could stay and she didn't
care if she had to close the building and let me inside" (or something like that
with this exact meaning). I understand now that the Student Center has to close
at 4pm, but in this case Athena should have allowed for some time between the
closing time of the cluster and 4pm, to turn-off the stations, or whatever else
that lady wanted to do. I'm running now a program for several hours which is
going to finish between 3:30 and 4 pm, and I'm going to lose the results of that
work because of the inconsistency in the door announcement and the Student
Center schedule. I'm protesting for both that and the rudeness of that lady
who even pulled off my hands the Athena announcement that I had just taken
from the inside door as "proof" (she let go afterwards).
