Man, I hate being dim (and short. Really hate being short.)
The lead Tech writer told me yesterday that the earlier I get here, the earlier I can get home. I assume that means that he will be here early as well. So, instead of the 8 am bus I've been taking this week, I went back to my usual 7 am bus. On the 7, I'm occasionally the first person on the floor, but I've never been the first person in the building.
Until this morning.
I got in at 8:45, people. That's not that early. Grant you, most everyone except the Orion team is taking today as a holiday, so maybe Virgil (our admin) isn't even going to be here today, but you'd think someone would be here before 9.
Nope.
I walked in, and the alarm instantly started to sound. I thought, "fine, that's okay. I have a card with the code on it. Somewhere." It took a few minutes, but I finally found the card. Entered the code. Nothing happens. Still beeping. Now it's telling me it's a slow entry alarm. Well, duh.
The alarm pad is right at eye level for me. It took a couple of minutes, but I finally looked up and saw that they had posted the process above that. Finally, with confidence, I entered the code and the rest of the information. No more beeping.
Now I just hope I didn't screw something up while I was fumbling around earlier. I'll just hide in my cube, like some deformed creature.

As if that wasn't enough, I spent about 20 minutes last night preparing two tins of cookies, squares and other sugary treats to share with my co-workers. Naturally, I then left them in the fridge at home, and didn't even remember them until I got to TO.

:hugs:
I've had days like that... days where nothing seems to work quite right...
Here's hoping that things can only get better from here on out.

And hey, the cops didn't show up despite my incompatibility with the alarm, so it's all good.
