Adventures, Part 2
Day 2: I again had to drive to work because I had to go back and forth to headquarters. This time, I dropped my mom off at the Med Center and then proceeded Downtown. Unfortunately, I got lost. Not a big surprise. No big deal though because my new boss is pretty chill.
Now it’s time for me to leave and go back to headquarters. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with all the streets that surround the building I am in. I thought I would make my walk to the parking garage by using a back door. WRONG! I walked out became so disoriented, and it was like I was in a whole new world. I’d never seen that side of the world before! Well, I had to walk back into the building. No bueno. Prior to getting into my car, I mapquested directions, but that was not good because I don’t know which direction northeast on Walker is. No big deal because as I mentioned in Day 1, my co-worker gave me excellent directions to getting to the new office. I’ll just go back the way I came (keeping in mind that Downtown is made of one way streets, I’ll just use parallel streets). WRONG! Somehow, I ended up getting to a dead end. I managed to make it back to I-10 without too much of a time loss or waste of gas.
It’s now the end of the day and I still need to get my “security clearance” I mentioned in Day 1. My good buddy was supposed to get me all of this was in the office today and said he would do it for me around 3pm. He forgot. So around 4:30-4:45, I remind him. No big deal, he gets me what I need and shows me how to use these things. (Note, I still don’t know where to park, I imagine the garage is beneath me and tomorrow, I will find a way to get in there!). Well, he needs to program my authority level. Too bad he forgot how to do that. It’s nearing 5pm, and I’m getting nervous because I don’t want my mom to wait on me too long. She’s not a big fan of Downtown, and I’m not by my cell phone. He accidentally gives me authority to the VAULT. Yes, VAULT. I quickly said, “Please remove my authority level. I don’t want it.” After about 15 minutes of pushing buttons, I finally have clearance for our “perimeter.” Basically, when I come in and no one else is here, I can let myself in and disarm my perimeter so I can sit in my office at peace. The great thing is, each person makes up their own security code (unless you have master clearance) and even if you held me at gun point, I still wouldn’t be able to get you into someone else’s perimeter or the Vault. (I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, but I vote good).
