Notification

Scene from my morning:

Walking into the building, there's a woman ahead of me, prolly 40 feet or so... mid-late 40's, dressed professionally, smart-looking blonde bob, rolling her computer bag in: swipes her badge on the door. Pulls on the door, didn't open. Swipes badge again... pulls on door... again- no go. Swipes a third time, pulls, alas... no entrada. Seemingly a big frustrated/defeated.

By then, I'm at the door, ready to swipe my badge and ask her, "Ya ever think, 'So is this how they let me know...?" as mine works and I open the door

To my surprise, she bursts out in laughter and says, "If it was, I sure wouldn't mind... that'd be great!!"

Ah, from a perfect stranger: honesty; cynicism.

Happy Monday.
