I ran off this morning and forgot my work keys.
There is a Fob on them for swiping the Time Clock for punching in and out on top of all the keys so I had to Email my Boss clear down in Eugene and have him clock me in and out for today.
Even better, the key for the little electric Golf Cart is on them. The one I use every day to run around that joint in. At 300,000 square feet for the warehouse plus all the parking lots around the joint, it’s easily a quarter mile to go around the place and since I’m all fucked up walking wise, that shit ain’t happening.
There aren’t any spare keys laying around for the damn thing either so I wound up having to take the dash board loose and Hotwire the little fucker.
This wasn’t my first rodeo obviously…
Pity you’s de wrong cullah – youse coulda had a whole new careeah!
Fancy spare key there. Not just a random piece of wire, one of them fancy ones with alligator clips and everything.
Endeavor to persevere.
Improvise!
Adapt!
Overcome!
Open up
Hotwire
Run around
No use in wondering how you just happened to possess the ‘spare key’.
Ha. I’ve done shit like that before to bypass “security” key switches on various equipment. Usually because some idiot employee either lost the key, or couldn’t produce it in a timely manner when I needed it.
That’s why you are ‘de mechanic’ in your place of gainful employment.
I had to make it a habit before I started the car to check I had badges and/or keys. Between stress and being half-sick (poorly controlled asthma), it was a challenge to get to work on time and be productive while I was there.
Having been working in high-security environments ( a LOT) I always did a “everything’s here” check. Got to be a very useful habit and kept things rolling… or routing… whatever.
Shit happens Phil. I never worry bout you showing them how it’s done.
:-), prolly won’t forget keys again any time soon 🙂 ;-)…
