Come, I Tell You My Password

I tried to resist it for as long as I can, but eventually I had to give in. I had to request for the HR/Admin to give me a password for the office entrance because my fingers cannot be used to scan anymore. It's getting worse now. The password for the door is ********, I repeat, the password is ********. That's 8 asterisks for my password xD Speaking of password, the computer I've been using for work had requested me to change my login password (again). Sigh, I'm already out of passwords!!! Need to start memorizing people's email address already. FYI, the password verification is damn tight. Must have symbols, characters, must have numerics, and must be at least 8 characters long. WTF...

Shit, everytime I came in/out through the door, I have to press 8 buttons on the keypad that equals to 8 friggin' beeps which would let the whole office know that "hey, Eric's here!". But I have no choice. I couldn't even enter the office in the morning, luckily there was another person with me at that time.

On a side note, there is a new staff (again). Lately there has been many new female staff, but obviously all are older than me, shit. Probably because there are plenty of vacancies for the new department, Quality Assurance. It was around 6pm when I was still doing my own thing when she came from the lobby. She asked me if I could open the main door for her as she has not registered her fingerprints yet with the HR dept.

I went "har? uh, ok...but actually I'm not really sure how to open also LOL". So I escorted her to the door, while I went to the receptionist's table and looked for the phone-thingy. I remembered one of my colleagues saying that the phone-thingy can open doors, like "open-sesame". I found the phone-thingy, and immediately saw a button with an LED beside it. Wondering what it does, I pressed it. Nothing happened. No lights blinking or sound emitted whatsoever. I pressed again. Nothing happened. Shit, what am I supposed to do. I asked her, "now can open or not?".

"Ya, can. Thanks"

LOL, SAFE! Why the hell does the thing operate without any visual or audio feedback?! Nevertheless, felt proud that I can help. I dont expect much though, cause I'm sure she will not remember my name...just mark my words...
