Do you ever leave the house and think, "I'm missing something..."
Wallet. Check.
Cell Phone. Check.
Breast Pump. Check.
Lunch. Check.
Kids. 2 of them. Check Check.
Cell Phone. Check. (yes I know I already checked that...)
Oh well. Go to work. Sit in traffic. Pull into parking garage.
Sick feeling in pit of stomach. I forgot my access card to the building.
Crap.
Text people on floor that might already be there. No answer.
I slowly get out of the car looking for an AL victim I can stalk to get into the elevator bay.
Ah Hah! Got one in my sights. Lady that has AL badge... Looks familiar. I think she works on 22.
Walk slowly. Not too fast, don't want to get in front of her, but don't want her to know she is being stalked.
We get on the elevator. She badges in. Sweet! I hit 17 and it lights up.
I get off on my floor. Crap. It's before 7:30 so I can't get in. Gary and Florence are already here, so I 'll send them an email from my handy dandy iPhone.
to: florence@work.com Are you at your desk.
Silence.
17 minutes later
from: florence@work.com Yes
to: florence@work.com I am stuck in the hallway. Can you let me in?
Seconds. I hear the laughter.
I spent 20 minutes sitting in the hallway. Yeah me. I had plenty of time for meditation and reflection. What a good use of my time.
Happy Monday.

HA! Tell AL to get with the program like SE and offer temp badges in the LOBBY. This way you can get into the elevator AND your floor when you forget your badge at home.
I bet that cleaning lady moved it again...
P.S. You got an award on my blog - check it out!
