Coup de grâce
by Tom Anthony on Feb.10, 2009, under Personal
So if you read the last entry I owe you a follow up. I did go back to the office last night. The alarm did go off again. I did put the correct code in. It did not work.
When I called my boss at home for the second time on the same day I needed to write down the temporary pass code. While reaching for the ball point pen sitting on my nice new oak (well oak-ish) credenza in my darkened office, a thin blue stream of ink left a gooey filament all the way from the credenza to my new desk to the new leather bound executive pad there. But the Coup de grâce was the moment I walked into the now lit and populated office this morning. Our Office Manager gave me a wink and asked which number I used on the alarm pad. I told her. She tried it. It worked.
Damn.
