18th January 9am - Brisbane Floods - Swipe Card

Today’s thoughts centre around the beauty of a captive audience, however, I would also like to highlight the stress of thinking up new material!

The stress of a missing swipe card?

Imagine the horror of the moment, arriving at the entrance for work to find I had LOST my swipe card. You cannot imagine the thoughts that flash through your head at such a time! How will I get in? Is there somebody who can let me in? How can I be so irresponsible as to add to the stress people are already under? And OMG! I have to tell HR!!!!!!!

Fortunately an individual (frequently seen in the kitchen was there once again) and was kind enough to open the door after very persistent knocking (and an element of begging) on my part. However, a quiet reminder about security might be in order. He failed to ask me for photo ID and simply opened the door and let me through!

Eventually – the relief of the find!.... A tearful and joyous moment.....
