Day: April 24, 2003

So I lost my security pass for work two days ago. I went to the building management office yesterday to order a new one, it costs $25. In the meantime I’ve been signing myself in at the front desk.

So I go this morning to pick up my replacement pass, $25 in hand. But wait! They’re not allowed to take cash. I don’t have anything else. And here is where being friends with the building management & security people is key: since the person knew me, she gave me my replacement gratis and said “Oh, this replacement pass stuff is silly anyways.” Cool.

The other day Oliver (the cat) killed our multi-remote. (It’s probably just a loose or broken battery connection, but I haven’t snapped the thing apart to look at it yet). This morning I discovered that he has broken the front output tray on my Personal LaserWriter NTR. DAMMIT! I use the front output because I usually put stuff on top of my printer, blocking the top output. When we move I’ll have to put my things such that the top output isn’t blocked… as you can see from the link Sun Remarketing doesn’t even have that part, which means it’s never getting fixed…
