New office ridiculousness

[jethrien]

Our office is permanently locked - when you step out of the elevator, you have to swipe a prox card to get into the office. Unfortunately, the bathrooms are not connected to our office - they're down the hall. So every time someone wants to use the restroom, they need to grab their id. Unfortunately, some people keep forgetting their ids, and borrowing mine.

Yesterday, we got an added bonus to this little joy - they installed locks on the bathrooms. So now to go to the bathroom, I need to grab my id and one of the bathroom keys, and unlock stuff to get both into the bathroom and back into the office.

WTF?

(For the record, this is not something anyone in my company asked for. The building apparently does this to all of the bathrooms. When one of the VPs asked the maintenance people why there were big holes in the doors - our locks were missing - they said, "Oh! You're supposed to have locks!" and installed them without actually asking us whether we wanted to have our precious toilet paper secured from intruders.)

Of course, your story could just as easily fit under a cappella incest. And they capitalized WildCat wierdly.

Also, that thing about guy-sharing in an a cappella group being groovy is NOT TRUE. Or at least, not usually true. Before I got in the group, there was a major, vicious fracas on that front. Part of the reason why Kate Muessig has always had mixed feelings about the Wildcats.

For the record - I said nothing about the Wildcats to her. My comments were all strictly band-related.
