Work |
Today I started at my new employer (Open-Future). http://www.open-future.be/ I'm quite happy with this new challenge and I hope I can have a nice future here. |

...that same client again? It's not really sure at this time but I will probably be going to that same client again... The client with: do you remember? The Grumpy Security |
|||
Again(previous anger), I encountered the anger of a grumpy security guy, oh wait no it was a woman this time… Anyway I’m starting to believe that being grumpy and angry is part of the job, or at least a side-effect. As I walked into the client’s building today I didn’t notice the security being grumpy or angry, but then when I went for a smoke the first time, and knocked on the door to let me back in I said ‘Thank You’. Sadly enough I did not get any response. Second smoke… Thank you! - No response. Third smoke… Thank You! - No response. … At the end of the day I was outside smoking when she suddenly left, so I say “Excuse me miss, but I won’t be able to get in the building now?”. She told me: “No, you need a badge to get in.” (As if consultants get badges for all clients, and certainly not on the first day…) * “Would you mind waiting 1 minute? My cigarette is nearly finished…” - “No can’t do that.” And she left. I had to call my colleage to let me back in again! Now that’s just rude, grumpy, and a lot of anger… Maybe companies could consider anger management courses for the security personnel. That’s all wining for today :-) /dev/out P.S. yes I do smoke, yes I know it is not healthy so please do not tell me to stop, you’ll be nothing but another person telling me what I should do, and I won’t! Yet… :-) |

I must say, being a security guy looks really really boring and lonesome to me! It was actually pretty funny because every time he got unfriendly I got more friendly :-). That resulted in an even more grumpy security guy. Conlusion? Never become a security guy unless you are really really sure that you like it, because it is very lonesome, boring and frustrating if you do not :-). |
