Swipe = to slide (a magnetic card) quickly through an electronic device that reads data.
Here's what happened when I got to work this morning and attempted to enter the building.
I swipe my card…
Beep, door will not open
Beep, door will not open
I walk around to the other door and swipe...

Beep, door opens…. (ah which means I am not fired)
With all this annoyance, you would think it would be easier to have a damn regular key.
I watch my co-worker reluctantly go to the door, he digs his wallet for about 2 mins and finally finds his access card. he does the same with his card.
Beep, door will not open
Beep, door will not open

A this point I start wondering how many times he was going to do it. I watched him swipe that thing so many times, I thought he was trying to make fire, after I was done laughing I told him the swiper thing on the front door is working.
Now this would be great how ever that door is just to the main building but it does not get us into the office.
On the inside we find Carla who is PISSED she has been waiting since 7:00am and looking for a chair to toss through the window. Finally a hour later the electronic locks release automatically and we can get in.
It is a good thing these doors opened up before the bar down the street did.

My sister works at a place where almost every single door in the building requires a card swipe to get in or out - that includes the bathrooms because they want to monitor how long it takes you to do your "business".
ReplyDeleteWord Verification = "anurning" as in "you look very anurning today".
Ha - I typed the above sentence but forgot to actually type in the verification word so it gave me a new one: "thincent" as in "I know you did it; don't look all thincent"
TNO - you make me smile, thanks for reading
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine if they had doors like that to get into bars? God, that would be the worst!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty shocked that a chair didn't go through the window. Would probably have made it easier to get in.
Catherinette ~ Swipe card entries on bars would be horrible, people would be to hammered to till which way the card goes after the third bar, causing a line around the block of drunkin pissed off people... Yeah we did think about the chair hard...but we refrained from creating any real damage.
