Let me in and/or out

I arrived at the office after visiting a client and found the door to the office locked. I tried using my electronic key, but it wouldn't work. I tried the next set of doors and they also wouldn't open. I was getting ready to call the receptionist, when a co-worker approached the door from the inside. She tried to open the door, but was locked in. What?! I couldn't get in and those on the inside were stuck at work-good thing I was on the outside. At the very moment I decided to go home for the rest of the day, I remembered there is a back entrance to work. I walked around to the back and the door was unlocked and I returned to work and spent the afternoon writing this blog. Don't worry. I also worked on the following: returning phone calls, IM-ing friends, writing reports, and reading the latest book for book club. Whenever I needed a break from the strenuous workday, I walked by the front door to watch as people attempted to enter or leave the building. I kept waiting for someone to yell, "Smile. You're on candid camera." Sadly that never happened.

I'm impressed. I go home for the day if the door even APPEARS locked.

We read Water for Elephants and we are trying to decide what to read next. Either The Glass Castle, Memory Keeper's daughter, or Pope Joan(haven't read this one, but the others are good.)
