Nooooo!

I dropped people off here, but never got to visit...

On Saturday I had to work. Something that happens on occasion (well, more often than that really, but that's not the point). I had finished and I had parked my coach where it was supposed to be. I went inside, hung up the keys, had a small break, had my digital time card read and realised I had left my lovely blue bottle on the coach. 

I grabbed the keys to the coach and the entrance pass and left the building. I opened the coach, found my bottle, closed and locked the coach and opened the door to the ... I didn't open the door to the building. I had taken my digital time card instead of my entrance pass! Oh no. 

It was Saturday. The company is located on an industrial estate where not much happens on a Saturday evening. My phone, my car keys, my house keys, well basically everything was in the building. I. Was. Not. 

Fortunately I saw a gentleman at an other company on the same estate and he was willing to lend me his phone. The only number I knew off by heart was my colleague. Who would phone somebody to come and help. Or better yet, I could try and gain entrance through the ambulance services that are in the same building. If I couldn't, I had to ring him back. 

I knew I had to be on the other side of the building. So, that's where I went. Ah, a gate. I walked the other way around. Yet another gate. I then had to walk all the way around the outer perimeter of the building to get to where I wanted. I rang the doorbell, explained the situation and five minutes later I was reunited with my things. 

Lesson learnt: look at what kind of card you take with you. Or better still: take the whole lot with you!!
