So this is how this glorious Monday started….
-While riding in the van, start digging through purse to find badge.
-Can’t find badge, must have left it at home
-Walk to security desk to get badge. 1 person in line, wait for 5 minutes while security dude finishes with her.
-5 minutes later – finally have temp badge
-Walk to badge in. Try 4 times, not working badge.
-Walk back to security desk. Now there are 2 people in line.
-Wait 10 minutes – 5 minutes for each person.
-While waiting, security guy says “I’ll be right with you” like he hasn’t seen me before.
-Finally my turn again…hand bad badge to security dude. Security: “You’re turning in this badge?” Me: “No, it doesn’t work.” Security: “OK can I have your ID badge?” Me: (blank look on face) Security: (pulls out HIS ID badge)“You know, the one with your picture on it?” Me: “I left it at home. Remember, you just gave me this temp badge like 10 minutes ago?” Security: “Ok miss, I can get you a temp badge since you left yours at home.” Proceeds to reissue SAME NON-WORKING badge….Security: “Oh this one doesn’t seem to be working, it’s not in the system.” Me: (trying not to roll eyes or sigh aloud)
-Finally get to my desk 20 minutes after I got here with working temp badge.
-Completely empty out my purse…..and find my badge!
**BIG SIGH**
4 nice things to say...:
What a hassle and yes, there is a reason this guy works security.
I think he needs to be demoted to janitor! I hate when Mondays start out like that, I hope the day gets better!
UHG how annoying! You should've smacked him with your purse ;o)
I hope the rest of your day goes better.
*HUGS*
I have HAD that experience Nearly exactly. It's ridiculous. So I wear the stupid badge around my neck all the time now, even though it irritates me and often messed up my jewelry.
I don't think the dimissiveness of security guards (and janitors) in general is really necessary, though.
BTW, I'm here for iComLeavWe.
