Once again my rants about new office.
Today they’ve changed the entrance security system. For some sophisticated (not) thing, that now neatly superglued to the door-post. And we all have been equipped with those little black “thingies” with a funny name “fobs”. To enter building you supposed to “wobble your fob” in front of the little evil box and hope that somehow it’ll recognise you. Now this is all fine and the fob fits perfectly with 5 other keys that I’ve got on my keyring (well, you’ve got to open many doors for this job, you know). And the fob-reader-me-thingy from inside is right beside the door, so you just walk by and accidentally flap your wings with the fob attached, of course, and the door will open like Seasame. The other story is from outside though. The fob reader has been placed somewhere away from the door itself, in a distance of few steps, but you’ve got to do them, not just reach out, unless, of course your arms are in Guinness Records Book. So…I haven’t tested yet how many seconds you’ve got between clocking in your fob and jumping back to the door before it closed…I suspect tomorrow will be a day of trials in our office…perhaps, we’ll even organise contest…anyway…my premature complain would be that I can’t imagine how one would do this fob-leaping thing while carrying equipment. And by “equipment” I mean computers and monitors. Well, given the nature of our business being IT support, sooner or later somebody bound to bring in equipment…I mean we do have daily deliveries sometimes…anyway, that was my ranting thought on my way out of the office today…
On the other hand…the evening is so magical! We have full moon (at least she appears like one) and very black skies…not a single star visible…that kind of night when you’d put out a saucer with milk outside your door for any werewolves that might happened to walk by…
