Or so says my coffee mug.
Why am I special?
Because at 7 a.m., when I arrived at work, I entered my alarm code and received the following message:
<Code not valid>
Craaaaaaaap.
Entered it again, carefully and deliberately pushing each key.
<Code not valid>
Pause. Waiting for the dreaded inevitable.
woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop
Should I back out of the doorway with my hands in the air? What is standard operating procedure here? Will it hurt if I get tazered? Who should I make my one phone call to?
After standing there dumbfounded, I decided that the K.C. SWAT team had far more important items to tend to. Or, they were running late.
Either way, I decided it was safe to proceed into the building. I dug out the number for our H.R. director, made the appropriate calls and resolved the situation.
No tazer gun. No big dramatic arrest. Just a mug of coffee that reads, “You are special today.”
Because sometimes you need a little extra validation.
