Wasted morning.

[feren]

0400 -- Wake up.
0445 -- Arrive at office to perform network switch upgrade on 11th floor.
0530 -- Declare switch upgrade a failure because some jackhole turned the switch closet into a textbook storage area and locked it with a key I do not have on my key ring. 30+ minutes of searching random desks on the floor did not turn up a key that I could successfully use on the lock.
0531 -- Hate everyone, wish to drink heavily.

Burn that mother down

go home, go to sleep, stay asleep for a long time, and don't come back until the beard is 30 feet long.



or just invest in a nice set of lockpicks.

1. How do you know it's been turned into textbook storage?
2. Have they blamed you for not upgrading the switch anyway?
3. JACKHOLE!

Respectively:

Climbed up on a counter top and moved ceiling tiles to peer into the space; no, because I raised a stink with my manager; and JACKHOLE.

Aww, no Network Ninja moves, diving in from the ceiling to upgrade the switch, just before the bad guys finished their bruteforce attack, narrowly mitigating their attempts and saving the day?

I'm not paid nearly enough for that.

See, there's the problem with differing thought patterns. I follow the belief that: "There are very few personal problems that can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives."

Barring you not having access to a small quantity of C-4 or Semtex though, a crowbar, properly applied, can work wonders.
Then you get the satisfaction of visualizing them coming in, finding the door open with wood splinters lying around the entry, and a job completed.
