.. get me down sometimes. Like my badge not working in the garage this morning. Talking to the security guard – perfectly nice, but not paid, nor willing, to actually think at all – is zero help: “Go get a new badge”. I spent 10 minutes walking around the building proving my badge indeed works great at every reader except the garage. Given the evidence, I tend to think that reader is faulty, not my badge, eh? And it’s not security’s job anyway: someone else is responsible for the readers, probably a different set of people than are responsible for the badge database (i.e. who should be in / out of each reader) as well. And finding contact names for things like this inside &BigCo; is sometimes and impossible task.
So hopefully the catharsis of writing that out here will help me move past it and do something useful. Even though I feel a little silly using Charlie Brown’s typical trying-to-kick-a-football yell in this situation. Than again, I seem to remember Charlie Brown having several themes of little things at various points in his perpetual 6 year old existence…
