The $300 clock battery.

At the site that I work at we have a system in place to track pretty much everything that has to be replaced, fixed, or modified. I initially thought it was a great idea, so we can keep track of all of it and figure out exactly were we can improve. Well I recently also found out that each time one of these items has to be entered into the system to be fixed, etc. it costs the company $300! So the other day I was informed that our wall clock in the fitness room wasn't working and it needed new batteries, so I notified the right person (obviously It's to much of a risk for me to replace them) and was told that it still had to be entered into the system! Talk about an expensive pair of batteries! (remember all requests are $300)

So much for being early!

Yesterday I made the mistake of forgetting to set my alarm clock, so of course I ended up being late for work. So I decided that today I would make sure that didn't happen and made it a goal to be even earlier today than usual. I woke up right at 4:30 got dressed, combed my hair and headed out the door. I ended up pulling in the parking lot at 5:25, got out of my truck and as I reached the front doors realized I had forgotten my access badge. So I ended up having to wait until 5:50 for someone else to arrive and let me in the building, what a crappy way to start the morning!
